The porous silicon layers (PSL) were created by anodizing the wafers with a denuded zone of 20-40 mum formed by neutron transmutation doping (NTD) and thermal treatment at 940 degreesC for 4 h and then 700 degreesC for 2 h, two-step heating of the floating-zone silicon (FZ Si) grown in a hydrogen (H,) ambience. By surface modification with stannic chloride or amine immersion and rapid thermal oxidation (RTO), the PL peak position from the PS can be qualitatively controlled factitiously.
