摘要
The optical properties of porous silicon（PS） samples fabricated by pulse etching in a temperature range from-40 to 50-C have been investigated using reflectance spectroscopy,photoluminescence spectroscopy,and scanning electron microscopy（SEM）.The dependence of the optical parameters,such as the refractive index n and the optical thickness（nd） of PS samples,on the etching temperature has been analyzed in detail.As the etching temperature decreases,n decreases,indicating a higher porosity,and the physical thickness of PS samples also decreases.Meanwhile,the reflectance spectra exhibit a more intense interference band and the interfaces are smoother.In addition,the intensity of the PL emission spectra is dramatically increased.
