“…Once the etching process was completed, the nanoPS layers grown onto Si were cleaned with ethanol to remove any residuals from the HF solution, and finally blown dry with a mild stream of dry nitrogen. The experimental setup of the anodization process has previously been described and is schematically presented in [25].…”

The accurate determination of the electrical properties of photovoltaic devices is of utmost importance to predict and optimize their overall optoelectronic performance. For example, the minority carrier lifetime and the carrier diffusion length have a strong relationship with the carrier recombination rate. Additionally, parasitic resistances have an important effect on the fill factor of a solar cell. Within this context, the alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electrical characteristics of Si-based metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) Schottky barrier diodes with the basic structure Al/Si/TiO2/NiCr were studied, aiming at using them as photovoltaic devices. The basic diode structure was modified by adding nanostructured porous silicon (nanoPS) layers and by infiltrating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into the nanoPS layers, leading to Al/Si+nanoPS/TiO2/NiCr and Al/Si+nanoPS+AgNPs/TiO2/NiCr structures, respectively. The AC electrical properties were studied using a combination of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Mott–Schottky analysis, while the DC electrical properties were determined from current–voltage measurements. From the experimental results, an AC equivalent circuit model was proposed for the three different MIS Schottky barrier diodes under study. Additionally, the most significant electrical parameters were calculated. The results show a remarkable improvement in the performance of the MIS Schottky barrier diodes upon the addition of hybrid nanoPS layers with embedded Ag nanoparticles, opening the way to their use as photovoltaic devices.

“…The electrodeposition was carried out as follows: in a crucible (6) with electrolyte (5), which was previously heated to a temperature of 65°C, a previously prepared sample of a porous silicon (4) was immersed. An electric current in the range from 0.5 to 1 A was passed through anode (6) and cathode (3), which provided the beginning of the electrodeposition process. Motor (2) provided a continuous mixing of the electrolyte solution during electrodeposition at a speed of 5000 r/s for 1 h. Then, the samples of porous silicon with a deposited layer of zinc were annealed in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 200°C for 20 min.…”

In this work composite structures based on a porous silicon were obtained and studied. Porous matrices were formed by electrochemical etching in aqueous solutions of hydrofluoric acid. Based on the obtained substrates, por-silicon (Si)/silver (Ag) and por-Si/zinc oxide (ZnO) composite structures were formed. These composites were functionalized by various methods (electro (E)-, thermo (T)-, electrothermal exposure) as a result of which the structures were modified. When studying the samples by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was concluded that silver nanoparticles actively diffused into the pores under these technological modes of functionalization. The por-Si/Ag and por-Si/ZnO composite structures were also studied using the following methods: infrared (IR) spectroscopy and Raman ultrasoft X-ray emission spectroscopy. Also, the photoluminescent characteristics of the samples were studied. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that functionalization methods actively change the phase composition of structures and the optical properties of composites.
