Abstract
Due to its good physical and chemical properties, porous silicon (PSi) is a highly favored element for several applications. In this paper, we report an evaluation of the structural and morphological layers of porous silicon of a 111-oriented N-doped silicon substrate created via electrochemical etching under the effect of a magnetic field. The electrochemical technique enabled meticulous regulation of porous silicon characteristics, including average pore diameter range from 0.094 μm to 2.31 μm, average pore depths range between 21.14 μm and 42.87 μm, and porosity from 37.53 μm to 69.74%. The influence of the magnetic field on the morphological structure and optical properties of porous silicon layers was assessed using various analytical approaches, including the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and (PL) spectroscopy. The impact of magnetic fields on the morphology of porous silicon layers is a compelling research subject investigating how magnetic fields can alter the structural properties of porous silicon.
期刊介绍:
The journal Silicon is intended to serve all those involved in studying the role of silicon as an enabling element in materials science. There are no restrictions on disciplinary boundaries provided the focus is on silicon-based materials or adds significantly to the understanding of such materials. Accordingly, such contributions are welcome in the areas of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, nanoscience, environmental science, electronics and optoelectronics, and modeling and theory. Relevant silicon-based materials include, but are not limited to, semiconductors, polymers, composites, ceramics, glasses, coatings, resins, composites, small molecules, and thin films.
