Photo-electrochemical etching with step- gradient illumination intensity was used to
generate multi – porosity silicon quantum wire system (Q.W.Si) on n-type silicon
wafer. A nano size photonic device of AL/Q.W.Si /si/AL was fabricated to investigate
the electrical properties and the surface morphology with the aid of scanning electron
microscopy. The J-V characteristics of (AL/Q.W.Si /AL) show a rectifying behavior
with high ideality factor compared for single layer (Q.W.Si) devices with (AL/Q.W.Si
/AL). The high value of ideality factor was explained based on the high density of the
dangling bonds are found on the internal surface of the multi porosity layer, leading to
poor electrical properties.
