I-V Characterization Study of Porous Silicon Formation by Doubled-Cell Electrochemical Etching

Article Preview

Abstract:

The anodic current-potential behaviors of PS fabrication by doubled-cell electrochemical etching method have been studied. There are three reaction regions: porous silicon formation region, a transition region and electropolishing region in I-V curves. Polishing current and the HF acid concentration has a directly proportional relationship, the electropolishing current of silicon increased with the increase of the concentration of HF, in a certain concentration range. The electropolishing current of silicon increased with increasing the sweep rate on the condition of the same HF concentration.
