The method consists of using thin nanoporous p-type silicon on both sides of the silicon substrates with randomly hemispherical voids. Then, two main sample types are processed. In the first type, thin aluminium layers (≥1 m) are thermally evaporated followed by photo-thermal annealing treatments in N 2 atmosphere at one of several temperatures ranging between 600 and 800 • C.

Crystallization of amorphous silicon thin films

Methods Porous silicon was elaborated by electrochemical anodization of heavily boron-doped p-type silicon substrate in HF solution. Two current densities were successively used. A low density of 5 mA/cm 2 was used to form an upper thin porous layer with low porosity of about 30% and a higher density of 50 mA/cm 2 to form a deeper layer with high porosity of about 60%.
