Metal‐Assisted Chemical Etching of Silicon: A Review: In memory of Prof. Ulrich Gösele
Abstract
This article presents an overview of the essential aspects in the fabrication of silicon and some silicon/germanium nanostructures by metal‐assisted chemical etching. First, the basic process and mechanism of metal‐assisted chemical etching is introduced. Then, the various influences of the noble metal, the etchant, temperature, illumination, and intrinsic properties of the silicon substrate (e.g., orientation, doping type, doping level) are presented. The anisotropic and the isotropic etching behaviors of silicon under various conditions are presented. Template‐based metal‐assisted chemical etching methods are introduced, including templates based on nanosphere lithography, anodic aluminum oxide masks, interference lithography, and block‐copolymer masks. The metal‐assisted chemical etching of other semiconductors is also introduced. A brief introduction to the application of Si nanostructures obtained by metal‐assisted chemical etching is given, demonstrating the promising potential applications of metal‐assisted chemical etching. Finally, some open questions in the understanding of metal‐assisted chemical etching are compiled.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
