Figure 1From: Triangle pore arrays fabricated on Si (111) substrate by sphere lithography combined with metal-assisted chemical etching and anisotropic chemical etchingFabrication process schematic: ordered silicon macropore arrays using (A) polystyrene and (B) photoresist honeycomb masks. (a) Formation of binary colloidal crystals composed of SiO2 and polystyrene spheres on silicon substrate, (b) removal of SiO2 spheres after heating, (c) formation of metal catalyst layer, (d) chemical etching of silicon, (e) formation of a monolayer of SiO2 spheres on the photoresist layer formed on silicon substrate, (f) development of resist sites exposed through SiO2 spheres, (g) formation of metal catalyst layer, and (h) chemical etching of silicon.Back to article page
