Modification of the Silicon Surface by Electroless Deposition of Platinum from HF Solutions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Platinum electroless deposition on Si(lOO) from HF solutions is hindered on n+ substrates as compared to p-substrates defining an induction period and displaying a more local behavior. The results are discussed in terms of a global electrochemical process. Platinum reduces injecting holes to the silicon valence band and silicon atoms oxidizes. The final morphological situation is a porous silicon layer which contains platinum nuclei formed by filling pits originated in the first stages of the deposition process.
