Metal-Catalyzed Electroless Etching of Silicon in Aerated HF/H2O Vapor for Facile Fabrication of Silicon Nanostructures

Inspired by metal corrosion in air, we demonstrate that metal-catalyzed electroless etching (MCEE) of silicon can be performed simply in aerated HF/H2O vapor for facile fabrication of three-dimensional silicon nanostructures such as silicon nanowires (SiNW) arrays. Compared to MCEE commonly performe...
