6.1.8. Porous Silicon<br />

When a wafer of silicon is subjected <strong>to</strong> electrochemical etching, the silicon wafer<br />

develops pores. Figure 6.19 is a scanning electron microscope picture of the (100)<br />

surface of etched silicon showing pores (dark regions) of micrometer dimensions.<br />
