Abstract
A process for forming porous SiC from single-crystal SiC wafers has been demonstrated. Porous SiC can be fabricated by anodizing n-type 6H-SiC in HF under UV illumination. Transmission electron microscopy reveals pores of sizes 10-30 nm with interpore spacings ranging from ≊5 to 150 nm. This is the first reported direct observation of porous SiC formation.
