摘要
Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were produced by nanosphere lithography and metal assisted chemical etching. The combination of these methods allows the morphology and organization control of Si NWs on a large area. From the investigation of major parameters affecting the etching such as doping type, doping concentration of the substrate, we demonstrate the formation of new Si architectures consisting of organized Si NW arrays formed on a micro/mesoporous silicon, layer with different thickness. These investigations will allow us to better understand the mechanism of Si etching to enable a wide range of applications such as molecular sensing, and for thermoelectric and photovoltaic devices.
