“…A black, thin layer that formed on the surface of the wafer was accidentally discovered and called porous silicon. After several decades, porous silicon was extensively studied for various applications, such as MEMS, 2 semiconductor devices, 3 solar cells and biomedical engineering. 4,5 In this study, PS was formed either by electrochemical anodisation (ECA), etching in HF-based solution or by chemical etching by oxidation reaction.…”
