Functionalization control of porous silicon optical structures using reflectance spectra modeling for biosensing applications

Modeling and experimental reflectance spectra of porous silicon single layers at different steps of functionalization and protein grafting process are adjusted in order to determine the volume fraction of the biomolecules attached to the internal pore surface. This method is applied in order to control the efficiency of the chemical functionalization process of porous silicon single layers. Using results from single porous silicon layer study, theoretical microcavity is simulated at each step of the functionalization process. The calculated reflectance spectrum is in good agreement to the experimental one. Therefore the single layers study can be applied to multilayer structures and can be adapted for other optical structures such as waveguides, interferometers for biosensing applications.

Simple optical method to determine the porosity of porous silicon films

A simple optical method to estimate the porosity of microporous silicon films is described. The technique relies upon determination of film refractive index via measurement of the incident (Brewster) angle corresponding to a minimum in the intensity of light reflected from the air-film interface. The sample porosity is then obtained using an effective medium model. Porosities obtained using this method show general agreement with those obtained using gravimetric means and, where comparison was possible, excellent agreement with those of similarly-prepared films found by low angle X-ray reflectivity. These results confirm the general applicability of this technique to the determination of microporous silicon film porosity.

Optical sensing of flammable substances using porous silicon microcavities

A porous silicon multilayer, constituted by a Fabry–Pèrot cavity between two distributed Bragg reflectors, is exposed to vapor of several organic species.

Polymeric waveguides using oxidized porous silicon cladding for optical amplification

We report on a new hybrid approach to realize optical slab waveguides for optical amplification purposes. The structure consists of a dye-doped polymer core (PMMA) deposited over an oxidized porous silicon (PS) cladding layer formed on a silicon wafer. The very low refractive index (n = 1.16) achievable in the cladding allows obtaining monomodal behavior with high confinement factors (Γ_TE = 96%) even for very thin cores (400 nm). Optically excited guided luminescence shows stimulated emission, strong line narrowing and a clear threshold and superlinear behavior with pump energy. By means of the variable stripe length (VSL) technique, values of net optical gain up to 113 dB/cm (constant over 3 mm) and absolute amplification values up to 34 dB have been measured at 694 nm when pumping with 80 mJ/cm² energy pulses. These results validate the use of oxidized PS as a cladding layer in silicon photonics.     

Investigation of opto-electronic properties on gradient-porosity porous silicon layer

Electrochemical etching with step-gradient current was applied to form gradient-porosity porous silicon (PS) layer on n-Si substrate and Al/gradient-porosity. PS/n-Si structure was fabricated to extract its opto-electronic properties using reflectivity, spectral response, and scanning electron microscopy. A conventional single-layer PS etched with constant-current was also compared. Compared to the single-layer PS, the absorption wavelength of gradient-porosity PS is blue-shifted due to a smaller quantum size, hence a wider band-gap. Such a wider band-gap leads to a larger barrier-height in Al/gradient-porosity PS than that in Al/single-layer PS one. More dangling bonds are found on the surface of gradient-porosity PS owing to inhomogeneous etching, thus a poor electronic property, though it has a lower broadband antireflection than single-layer PS.
