Anodic dissolution on p-type silicon thin film in hydrofluoric acid solutions leads to a reduction of roughness on these surfaces. The electrochemical behavior in different HF concentration is investigated by linear sweep scan, and it is found that the HF has an important role in electrochemical behaviors, and the anodic dissolution rate increases with increasing HF concentration. A smooth surface state can be obtained in HF solutions, and the technique is promising for fabrication of reflecting silicon surfaces.
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.
