Abstract
A silicon structure of the present invention is provided with a silicon substrate () to become a base, and a plurality of fibrous projections () made of silicon dioxide and directly joined to a silicon-made surface () of the silicon substrate (). By arbitrarily constructing an area where these fibrous projections () are formed in a predetermined area, it is possible to render the area to have at least either hydrophilicity or water retentivity, so as to provide a silicon structure useful for a variety of devices.
