In the present work, porous silicon (PS) based Bragg reflectors are fabricated, and reactive PS surface is passivated by means of thermal carbonization (TC) acetylene decomposition. The gas sensing properties studied with different compositions concentrations. Based on results it can be concluded that thermally carbonized provide an easy inexpensive to produce chemically stable high quality good properties, which differ from those unpassivated reflectors.
Abstract Preparation of graded‐index optical microcavities based on porous silicon is demonstrated, and chemical modifications for obtaining improved stability under alkaline conditions are studied. Four surface modification methods stabilizing the samples examined, effects properties verified. Two different thermal carbonization treatments resulting in hydrophilic hydrophobic surfaces employed. In addition, with undecylenic acid performed as‐prepared thermally hydrocarbonized surfaces....
