This paper presents experimental results on the creation of porous silicon structures with variable pore morphology (GPS-var). At a pore depth of up to several hundred microns, the structures are characterized by the presence of a layer with nanoscale porous structures (hereinafter, nanoporous) on the surface. As the depth of etching increases, the pores smoothly transform into spongy, and then into a columnar structures with pore sizes of about a micron.
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.
