Preparation and Characterization of Porous Silicon Layers on Silicon for Solar Energy Applications

Shaaban Abd El-Glil Ahmed Khalil;

Abstract


The thesis is aimed to study the solar spectrum in the Cairo Territory and preparation of suitable porous silicon layers on p-type silicon wafers to improve the solar conversion efficiency using metal-assisted chemical etching and the optimization of the conditions to obtain porous structure suitable for solar energy applications. Investigations are extended to include the properties of the prepared samples and characterization of the porous structure. In this respect, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS, scanning electron microscopy, SEM, and energy dispersive X-ray, EDX, were used as the main techniques.

Keywords: impedance, metal-assisted chemical etching, porous silicon.
