摘要
Voltage oscillations were observed during anodic etching of (100)-oriented n-InP substrates in an aqueous solution of HCl at high constant current density. Under certain conditions, the oscillations lead to a synchronous modulation of the diameters of pores on large areas of the samples which indicates a correlation between the phases of the oscillations in the pores. These self-induced diameter oscillations may be useful for three-dimensional microstructuring of n-InP and thus for the design and fabrication of new photonic materials.
