chemical nature of the surface of porous silicon (PS) when it is attacked with a 1: 1 mixture of
concentrated hydrofluoric acid and water have been studied. As the PS dissolves, the
porous structure is essentially destroyed while the appearance and chemical composition of
the surface change. At the same time, the intensity and peak wavelength of the PL change
dramatically. The simultaneous investigation of PL, FTIR absorption and SEM observation of …
