Popis: Room temperature photoluminescence spectra from samples of chemically etched porous silicon were analyzed as a function of dopant type, dopant concentration, etchant chemistry, and etching times. In stark contrast to electrochemically etched porous silicon, no significant variations in peak location or width were observed to result from stain etching. This invariance of peak location is presumed to be due to either chemical or electronic passivation of the luminescent silicon nanostructures that prevents subsequent modification after their initial formation.
