Abstract

An Si or SiC semiconductor layer is subjected to anodic oxidation in an HF solution to form a porous semiconductor layer. Without drying, the porous semiconductor layer is then immersed in pure water. Ultrasonic waves applied to the pure water shorten the reaction time and help bubbles separate from the surface of the porous region. The porous semiconductor layer is used for forming a pn junction, and carriers are injected into the pn junction.
