摘要
Porous silicon layers (PSL) prepared by anodizing crystalline silicon are found to show an increased dark conductivity upon exposure to light and also upon fast cooling from high temperatures. These effects can be annealed out but cannot be reversed upon exposure to infrared light. Their decay with time, dependence on exposure times and temperatures have been studied in detail. Micro-Raman measurements on PSL showed the presence of alpha-Si : H which is suggested to be responsible for these effects. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
