Nano-Al2O3 Film Prepared on Porous Silicon by Sol-Gel Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

We report the structural and optical properties of a-Al2O3 film grown on porous silicon substrate using sol-gel method. The results indicated that a-Al2O3 film were grown after it sintering at 1200 °C for 1 hour and the scanning electron microscopy image shows the a-Al2O3 film has a nanostructure. From the photoluminescence spectrum, it shows that a narrow purple emission peak. This proved porous silicon is a good substrate to grow a-Al2O3 film.
