Abstract
After electrochemical etching, we have made a study of the effects generated on p^+^‐type porous silicon layers when they are left in presence of the electrolyte for different post‐etching times. Using an interferometric technique, we have monitored the change of its porosity during the post‐etch process due to a chemical dissolution mechanism. These data are complemented with a study of photoluminescence and transmission electron microscopy measurements for different post‐etching times. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract Samples containing silicon nanowires (Si‐NWs) and highly porous structures (P‐Si) were prepared by electroless wet chemical etching (EWCE) of crystalline silicon wafers using various etching parameters. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements were performed with excitation at 488 nm and a p
A novel electroless method of producing porous silicon carbide (PSiC) is presented. Unlike anodic methods of producing PSiC, the electroless process does not require electrical contact during etching. Rather, platinum metal deposited on the wafer before etching serves as a catalyst for the reduction
