摘要
The dependence of macropore formation in n-silicon on substrate orientation was investigated. Samples were cut from a large Si crystal in various orientations between {100} and {111}. Macropores were obtained by electrochemical etching in diluted HF following standard techniques. The growth direction of the macropores was found to be <100> and <113>, with a switch over at a critical angle of about 43 degrees, whereas "break-through" pores obtained without illumination at large field strength always grow in <100>. The results can be partially understood by postulating different pore growth speeds for <100> and <113>, but indicate that a detailed understanding of pore growth in Si is still elusive.
