摘要
A porous SiC layer was fabricated by anodization of a 1.6 mu m-thin SIC layer deposited onto p-type Si(100) substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), using a hot-pressed 6H-SiC(p) as sputtered target. P-type porous SiC layers were realized by anodization in HF/ethylene glycol (ETG) electrolyte (1 : 1 by vol.) at different etching times. The properties of the porous SIC layer formed by this method were investigated by SIMS, SEM, Fourier transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR) and photoluminescence (PL). The results show that the growth layer was crystalline, with the photoluminescent spectra showing a blue band emission. In addition, the results clearly indicate an increase in PL intensity by 10 times of magnitude compared to that exhibited by the unetched sample. Copyright (C) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
