ABSTRACTChemical and mechanical stability of porous silicon layers (PSL) is the prerequisite of any active (luminescent) or passive (e.g. porous substrate) integrated applications. In this work X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze quantitatively the strain distribution obtained in different morphology PSL that were prepared on (100) p and p+Si substrates. Tetragonal lattice constant distortion can be as high as 1.4% in highly porous “as-prepared” samples. Incoherent optical heating RTO is governed by the absorption in the oxidized specimen. PSL show vertical inhomogeneity according to interpretation of spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) data. Oxygen incorporation during RTO is controlled by specific surface (in p+ proportional, in p inversely proportional with porosity), while the developing compressive stress depends on pore size, and decreases with porosity in both morphologies.

In this work, core-shell ZnO@SiO2nanoparticles (NPs) were infiltrated into a macro/meso-porous silicon (PS) structure, to study its luminescent properties. The core-shell ZnO@SiO2NPs were obtained by colloidal synthesis. The core-shell ZnO@SiO2NP was 5 nm in diameter. The macro/meso-PS structure was made in two steps: we obtained the macroporous silicon (macro-PS) layer fist and the mesoporous silicon (meso-PS) layer second. This process was conducted using different electrolyte solutions, and the change of electrolyte led to a decrease in the special charge region over the wall macro-PS layer; this allowed the building of the meso-PS layers on the walls and the bottom of the macro-PS layer. The SEM results show the cross-section of the macro/meso-PS structure with and without core-shell ZnO@SiO2NPs. These SEM images show that the core-shell ZnO@SiO2NPs that infiltrated into macro/meso-PS structure were more efficiently bonded over all the porous walls. The core-shell ZnO@SiO2PL interacted with the macro/meso-PS structure, modifying its PL intensity and controlling a shift toward a lower wavelength.

We have investigated the photoluminescence (PL) of a porous silicon film in which a typical nematic liquid crystal 4-pentyl-4’-cyanobiphenyl infiltrated. Before the liquid crystal filtration, the PL spectrum of the porous silicon film is comprised of two luminescent bands, one of which is located at about 600 nm whereas the other of which is located at about 450 nm. After the liquid crystal filtration, the porous silicon film gives off intense deep-blue PL with its peak located at about 400 nm at the cost of the complete quenching of the PL from the original porous silicon film. Our results have demonstrated that the luminescent properties of porous silicon films can be dramatically modified by liquid crystal infiltration.

Formation of metal nanoparticles on silicon substrate by thin gold film irradiation with accelerated atomic and molecular ions is shown. Structures obtained were etched by metal-assisted catalytic chemical technique to get porous silicon structure. Size of gold nanoparticles and the structure of porous siliconstrongly depend on kind of incident species and ion dose. A local increase in the energy release density at the target surface that takes place during molecular ion bombardment significantly reduce the doses required for the formation of predetermined film morphology and the distribution of nanoparticles on the surface, while at the same time molecules exhibit lower radiation effect on the substrate. Luminescent properties of porous silicon do not depend on the kind of ion used, and can be tuned by composition of an etching solution
