Abstract

The results of electron microscopy investigation of morphology of porous silicon (PS) received under long anodic etching by using internal current source in electrolytes such as HF:H2O2:H2C5OH and HF:H2O2 are presented. Mosaic structure of nanoporous silicon is observed as the islands separated by silicon ledges. It was shown that these islands are presented as assemble of oxidized nanocrystallites and silicon ledges. The results of elemental analysis of islands of oxidized nanocrystallites and silicon ledges are presented.
