Abstract

The mechanical stress induced in as-prepared porous silicon is generally compressive. Upon thermal annealing, the stress shows hysteresis. Isothermal annealing reveals second-order kinetic processes for both the stress and hydrogen effusion. The correlations between the changes in stress and porous silicon composition and structure are discussed.
