摘要:
In an analytic process using porous silicon, a substance is detected or its concentration in a fluid is determined, based on the change in optical properties of porous silicon as a function of the index of refraction of the substance or of the fluid containing the substance present in the pores of the porous silicon. An analytic device using porous silicon to detect a substance or determe the concentration of a substance in a fluid consists of a component which is at least partly made of porous silicon, the optical property of which is dependent on the index of refraction of the substance or of the fluid containing the substance, where a change in the optical property of porous silicon can be measured to indicate detection of the substance or to determine the concentration in the pores of the porous silicon.

The invention relates to a process for producing a structure with porous silicon in which the silicon is rendered porous at the surface of a silicon substrate (1) by means of an etching solution (4). A non-insulating layer (3) is applied to regions of the substrate surface not to be rendered porous and an electric voltage (UM) is applied between it and the substrate during the porosity producing process. The voltage (UM) can preferably be applied at intervals in time and/or at separate points to form regions of differing porosity.

The invention relates to a layer with an area made of a porous material extending from the surface of the layer to the inside of the latter, wherein the dimension of the porous layer area in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the layer exhibits different values. The invention also relates to a method for producing a layer with a porous area or a layer system, wherein said porous layer area is formed by etching and means are used to choose a physical dimension in correlation with the etching speed of the etching process in order to form at least one etching gradient.

The invention relates to a component with at least one layer or a layer system consisting of porous material, in particular silicon or silicon oxide. At least one section of the pores or all pores of the porous material are filled with a substance, the index of refraction thereof being alterable by an external influence. The index of refraction of the substance can advantageously be changed or adjusted by a voltage or an electric current.

The invention relates to a filtering structure (R1, S1, S2) with a layering sequence comprising a number of layers (B1, B2, B3) formed from porous material. A layering sequence or a number of such layering sequences are formed inside a substrate in addition to the first layering sequence and are arranged in a staggered depthwise manner in relation to the first layering sequence. In this filtering structure, it is useful and advantageous that said additional layering sequence(s) perform(s) a filtering function differing from the first layering sequences.

In a process for producing a porous layer by an electrochemical etching process, an etching mask which corresponds to the desired course of the deep-etching rate is used. For the course of the deep-etching rate to be continuous, a wedge-shaped etching mask can be selected.

The invention relates to an optical component consisting of transparent thin layers of differing thickness and refractive indices. Such optical components are used, for example, as interference filters and mirrors. Optical components made of layers with gradually changing refractive indices are also known as waveguides or anti-reflective coatings. The invention achieves the aim of using, instead of layers of ordinary materials, another material by means of a component in which the layers consist of porous silicon. The special advantages of porous silicon as a coating material arise not only from the ease and economy of manufacture but also inthe facility for obtaining gradual refractive index transitions. It is therefore very easily possible to make waveguides on a silicon chip.
