    摘要: A thin discontinuous layer of metal such as Au, Pt, or Au/Pd is deposited on a silicon surface. The surface is then etched in a solution including HF and an oxidant for a brief period, as little as a couple seconds to one hour. A preferred oxidant is H2O2. Morphology and light emitting properties of porous silicon can be selectively controlled as a function of the type of metal deposited, Si doping type, silicon doping level, and/or etch time. Electrical assistance is unnecessary during the chemical etching of the invention, which may be conducted in the presence or absence of illumination.

    摘要: This invention relates to a detection method and apparatus useful in capillary electrophoresis and capillary chromatography that employs an array of solid state detector such as a charge-coupled device operating in the time-delayed integration mode which allows more exposure time of the moving analyte zones. The CCD is synchronized so that after a normal exposure of the CCD, the charge information in every row of the CCD is shifted toward one end of the CCD and the charge/signal information in the last row is quantified. Applying the CCD and the time-delayed integration method in effect increases the effective sampling volume of the flow cell without introducing band broadening. Use of the CCD as a fluorescence detection in capillary electrophoresis separations allows analytes to be differentiated both in migration time and fluorescence emission, yielding detection limits for fluorophores in the 1-8.times.10.sup.-20 mole range.
