Abstract
A metal–semiconductor–metal photoconductive detector has been fabricated from porous silicon. To that aim low conductive p‐type Si (20 Ω cm) has been porosified and several rapid‐thermal treatment steps applied before deposition of Al‐contacts. The photo response was investigated in the wavelength range of 350–800 nm. A responsivity of up to 4 A/W was observed at 600 nm which is about 13 times higher than that of a commercial photodiode.

In this work, the nanocrystalline porous silicon (PS) is prepared through the simple electrochemical etching of n-type Si (1 0 0) under the illumination of a 100 W incandescent white light. SEM, AFM, Raman and PL have been used to characterize the morphological and optical properties of the PS. SEM
