Silicon nanowires produced by metal-assisted chemical etching have different surface morphologies in dependence of the doping concentration[1]. Solid, rough and porous nanowire surfaces can be prepared. While the formation mechanism of rough surfaces is still unclear we investigate the surface texture of mesoporous silicon nanowires by nitrogen gas adsorption.
We fabricated silicon nanowire ensembles of undoped Si (resistivity
ρ>1 kΩcm), medium boron doped Si (ρ=14-23 Ωcm) and highly boron doped Si (ρ<10 mΩcm) and determined surface properties like pore diameter, pore volume and sample surface area. We discuss for samples of different preparation parameters such as etching time and etchant concentration how the pore formation is affected and determine the mean poresize distribution on highly doped nanowires.
