Abstract

Silicon can be prepared in a unique morphological form by anodic dissolution in HF. The resultant material contains pores of 10–100Å diameter in numbers sufficient toproduce a high surface area, low density single crystal. We have investigated the potential of both pulsed and CW laser processing in this material for dielectric isolation applications. Pulsed processing at λ = 532 nm yields fused surface layer structures that are epitaxial. The porous Si that underlies this surface film is undisturbed and can beoxidized to produce vertical isolation from the substrate.
