Gold-thickness-dependent Schottky barrier height for charge transfer in metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon

Large-area, vertically aligned silicon nanowires with a uniform diameter along the height direction were fabricated by combining in situ-formed anodic aluminum oxide template and metal-assisted chemical etching. The etching rate of the Si catalyzed using a thick Au mesh is much faster than that cata...
