Abstract

This paper presents the results of porous SiC (PsiC) characterization using photoluminescence (PL) and scanning electronic microscopy. It is shown that the intensities of visible PL bands increase monotonically with the thickness rise of PSiC layers. Intensity enhancement for excitonic PL bands (2.86, 3.05 and 3.28 eV) is attributed to the recombination rate increasing (recombination time decreasing) due to electron-hole confinement effect in SiC nano-crystallites. The intensity increasing for defect-related PL bands (1.82, 2.10, 2.30 and 2.58 eV) is assigned to grow up of defect concentrations on the PSiC surface at the etching process.
