摘要
A quantum confinement model is proposed to explain the electrical transport properties in fresh and stored porous silicon (PS) films. In the present paper, the model is verified for the temperature dependence of the dark current. The studied samples are Formed mainly by a network of nanowires, suggesting the separation of the electron Hamiltonian into a longitudinal and a transversal part. The last one can be well described by a two-dimensional (2D) cylindrical infinite quantum well? whose levels determine the dark current activation energies. The storage oxidation induces modifications both in the number and the values of the activation energies, which are in excellent agreement with our model. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
