Abstract
Purpose: The article proposes a methodology for determining the chemical quality criterion
of porous layers synthesized on the surface of semiconductors, based on taking into account
the chemical parameters of the surface that can affect the properties of nanostructures.
Design/methodology/approach: The chemical quality criterion was evaluated in terms
of stoichiometry, stability of structures over time, uniformity of distribution over the surface,
and the presence of an oxide phase. As an example, a calculation is demonstrated for the
por-InP/InP structure synthesized on a mono-InP surface. The results of calculating the
chemical quality criterion were evaluated using the Harrington scale to rank samples by
quality level.
Findings: A chemical criterion for the quality of porous layers synthesized on the surface
of semiconductors has been developed. This criterion contains a set of indicators sufficient
for a comprehensive assessment of the surface condition and is universal in nature. The
studies carried out make it possible to reasonably approach the determination of the modes
of electrochemical processing of semiconductors and open up new perspectives in the
construction of a model of self-organization of a porous structure.
Research limitations/implications: The chemical quality criterion does not allow
evaluating the obtained nanostructures in terms of geometric parameters. Therefore, in
the future, there is a need to develop a morphological quality criterion and determine a
methodology for assessing a generalized quality criterion for nanostructures synthesized on
the surface of semiconductors, which may include economic, environmental, technological
indicators, and the like.
Practical implications: Study results are expedient from a practical point of view, since they
make it possible to reasonably approach the determination of the modes of electrochemical
processing of semiconductors, synthesize nanostructures with predetermined properties,
and create standard samples of nanomaterial composition.Originality/value: Methodology for assessing the quality of porous semiconductors by a
chemical criterion has been applied for the first time in engineering science. The article will
be useful to engineers, who are engaged in the synthesis of nanostructures, researchers and
scientists, as well as specialists in nanometrology.
