Controlled Microfabrication of High‐Aspect‐Ratio Structures in Silicon at the Highest Etching Rates: The Role of H2O2 in the Anodic Dissolution of Silicon in Acidic Electrolytes

Abstract: In this work the authors report on the controlled electrochemical etching of high‐aspect‐ratio (from 5 to 100) structures in silicon at the highest etching rates (from 3 to 10 µm min−1) at room temperature. This allows silicon microfabrication entering a previously unattainable region where etching of high‐aspect‐ratio structures (beyond 10) at high etching rate (over 3 µm min−1) was prohibited for both commercial and research technologies. Addition of an oxidant, namely H2O2, to a standard aqueous hydrofluori… Show more

“…Furthermore, under illumination, fast macropore formation is realized in aqueous HF electrolytes on low-doped n-type silicon with optimal bias and HF concentration ([HF]) [15]. Recently, Barillaro [16] reported on the controlled electrochemical etching of high-aspect-ratio (from 5 to 100) macropores in n-type silicon at the highest etching rates (from 3 to 10 μm min −1 ). On the other hand, in p-type silicon, it's much more complicated to achieve macropores with high AR because the hole concentration is much higher than in n-type silicon and hence cannot be controlled in the pore walls [17].…”

“…Так, электролиты на основе перекиси водорода позволяют ускорить растворение электронного кремния как в темноте [1,2], так и в режиме подсветки обратной стороны образца [3,4]. При низких напряжениях и малой концентрации HF макропоры в n-Si(100) с низким уровнем легирования сохраняют вертикальные стенки, и тем самым делают их похожими на макропоры, сформированные в электролите на основе водного раствора плавиковой кислоты [3]. При высоком напряжении в режиме пробоя появляется интенсивное образование вторичных пор как при высокой [5], так и при низкой концентрации HF [6].…”
