A new concept for silicon microsensors based on porous EIS lectrolyte-nsulator4emiconductor) structures is presented. The porous sensor was prepared by anoclic etching of n-doped silicon and subsequent deposition of a dielectric layer of Si02. Experimental conditions were investigated to realize a well-defined macroporous formation of the porous silicon. To compare the chemical sensor properties with similar built-up pianar Si/Si02 structures, C/V (capacitanceoltage) measurements have been performed. The porous EIS structures have been characterized by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and cyclic voltammetiy. This solid-state technology allows the preparation oftransducer materials for pH microsensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
