Abstract
Porous silicon is formed by patterning a single crystal silicon substrate prior to electrochemically etching the same. The process is a controlled method of fabricating silicon microstructures which exhibit luminescence and are useful in optoelectronic devices, such as light emitting diodes. The porous silicon produced has a high degree of uniformity and repeatability.
