摘要
X-ray reflectivity is used to study the mesoscopic structure of porous silicon layers. For a porous silicon thin film, we present measurements of the specular and the diffuse scattering together with their best fits. The analysis of the scattered intensity within the distorted-wave Born approximation based on a model of rough fractal interface yields new structural information. Furthermore, an overview of experimental results obtained for several thick porous silicon samples (either as-formed or etched) is presented. The diffuse scattering exhibits characteristic effects due to large surface roughness and the porous structure. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
