β¦ Synopsis
Porous silicon (PS) layers are formed on p+-type silicon wafers by electrochemical anodization in hydrofluoric acid solutions. Microechography and acoustic signature, V(z), have been performed at 1.5 GHz and 600 MHz, respectively, in order to study the elastic properties of PS layers. The thicknesses of PS layers were measured and longitudinal, shear and Rayleigh velocities and Young's modulus were obtained as a function of porosity. Equations showing the porosity dependence of bulk wave velocities and Young's modulus have also been proposed.

## Abstract The dependence of humidity adsorption in porous silicon (PS) layers on the fabrication conditions (current density and oxidation) has been investigated. Asβprepared and additionally oxidized PS layers have been investigated using physical gas (N~2~) adsorption measurement at 77 K, water
A bulk silicon micromachining technique using porous silicon as a sacrificial layer is developed. The proposed process is fully C-MOS compatible and it was successfully used to fabricate deep cavities into silicon with very smooth bottom surfaces and sidewalls.

This paper presents a series of experimental photoacoustic spectra of porous silicon layers on crystalline silicon and their numerical analysis performed in the proposed two-layer model. The goal of the analysis was to calculate the optical absorption spectra of porous silicon from the photoacoustic
