Abstract

The methods of infrared spectroscopy, electron spin resonance, and photoluminescence were used to study the porous-silicon layers formed by electrochemical treatment of Si in an HF: D2O solution. In contrast with the samples prepared in a conventional electrolyte (HF: H2O), a steady increase in the photoluminescence intensity in the course of routine oxidation of the sample was observed, with the hydrogen coverage of the silicon-skeleton surface retained. A mechanism for anomalous oxidation of the layers of porous silicon obtained in a mixture of HF and heavy water is suggested.
