ABSTRACTThis paper presents a model of the microporous silicon formation process which is based on hole depletion due to quantum confinement in the porous structure. This model is compared with the formation of larger porous structures (meso-, macroporous) where hole depletion is generated by a space charge region.

AbstractPorous structures on n-type GaAs (100) can be grown electrochemically in chloridecontaining solutions. Crystallographic etching of the sample is a precursor stage of the attack. Polarization curves reveal the existence of a critical onset potential for pore formation (PFP). The PFP is strongly dependent on the doping level of the sample and the presence of surface defects. Good agreement between the PFP and the breakdown voltage of the space charge layer is found. Surface analytical investigations by EDX, AES and XPS show that the porous structure consists mainly of GaAs and that anion uptake in the structure can only be observed after attack has been initiated. Photoluminescence measurements reveal – under certain conditions – visible light emission from the porous structure.

First-principles calculations were utilized to elucidate the complete defect equilibria of surfaces of proton conducting BaZrO3, encompassing charged species adsorbed to the surface, defects in the surface layer as well as in the subsurface space-charge region and bulk.
