Abstract

Porous semiconductors constitute a class of material that exhibit surprising properties, are quite easy to fabricate, but are however fragile, complex, and difficult to characterise. This tutorial review extracts specific topics from the large knowledge base now available on porous Si that are deemed relevant to other porous semiconductors beginning to receive study. It also highlights topics where controversy is now resolved, where problems remain, and where further effort could be focused.
