The structure of electrodes in the electrochemical formation cell of porous silicon greatly influences the planar uniformity of the porous silicon layer. In this paper a systematic study of the planar uniformity of large area porous silicon layer formed by different electrode structure is reported based on photoluminescence and reflectance scanning of the surface. A new design of the electrode structure is developed for achieving satisfactory planar uniformity of large area porous silicon layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
