Abstract
This paper presents the results of photoacoustic studies of porous silicon layers formed on silicon substrates with the method of constant current anodisation of c-Si in an aqueous solution of HF (50 wt %):H2O = 1:1. The aim of the study was to determine the thermal diffusivity of the porous silicon layers and their optical absorption coefficients with the photoacoustic method using two wavelengths of the exciting light for the generation of thermal waves and measurement of thermal and optical parameters.
