| Abstract | Semiconductors with various structural morphologies are widely used in areas of electronics, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, sensors and thermoelectrics. The fabrication of solid-state micro/nanostructures has been motivated by the miniaturization and multi-functionality of microelectronic devices. Although some traditional methods can be used for texturization treatment of semiconductors, their applications are limited to some extent owing to their intrinsic disadvantages. Recently, the technologies of noble metal-assisted chemical etching (MacEtch) of semiconductors to produce micro/nanostructures have been paid much attention due to their relatively simple processes, fast reacting rate, low cost, and applicability for mass production etc. In this review, firstly, the MacEtch mechanisms, reaction phenomena and effect factors ( including the depositing methods, distribution, sizes, shape of Ag particles, and the composition of etchants) of Ag-assisted chemical etching of Si semiconductor are discussed in detail. And then the fabrication technologies of various microstructures such as porous Si, Si nanostructures, silicon nanowire arrays, and quasi-ordered micro/nanostructures are introduced to highlight the salient features of MacEtch of Si, and the state-of-the-art MacEtch of other semiconductors such as Ge, Si1-xGex, and GaAs is also summarized. Meantime, the potential applications of the MacEtch of semiconductors in different fields are overviewed. Finally, the current issues are analyzed and the outlook for the further research in this field is proposed. |
