Popis: Experiments have been carried out to determine the influence of a porous silicon patch (located on the back surface of a silicon wafer) on the formation of stacking faults during oxidation typically encountered in the manufacture of integrated circuits. The porous silicon was found to reduce the incidence of stacking faults. A possible explanation is that the porous silicon serves as a gettering center which reduces the number of impurity clusters that would otherwise nucleate stacking faults
