On Particular Features of Electrolytic Oxidation Reactions on ~ Germanium
Anode
(referred to normal hydrogen electrode) on the currenl density
of an n- and p-germanium anode with a specific resistivity
of 1.5 ohm-cm and a diffusion length of 0-4 - 0-5 mm. The
introduction of potassium oxalate into the solutions decreases
the potential of n-germanium, This phenomenon is particular-
ly marked in the case of high current densities at which,,
for the anodic dissolution of the n-Ge the limiting c-arren't
of the diffusion of the holes occurs. By the addition of
the oxalate ion this limiting current vanishes. The oxida-
tion of the oxalaie, which occurs simultaneously with the
dissolution of the Ge, increases the latter within the poten-
tial range, in which it is otherwise limited by diffusion
of the holes to the surface of the semiconductor. The im-
'pression is conveyed that the anodic oxidation of
C 02- increases the concentration of the holes on the surface
2 4
and thus facilitates dissolution, This is explained by the
authors by the fact that the oxidation of the oxalate ion
is not due to the holea but to the penetration of electrons

into the Ge-anode. In the case of p-Ge the lowering of the
potential by oxidation of the oxalate ion occurs only at low
current densities. If curr;nt densities are higher, an anodic
dissolution of Ge, which is not influenced by the presence
of the C 02- occurs. In a similar manner the oxidation of
2 4
KJ (Fig 2) develope. Ifere a further process is added, which
accelerates the anodic dissolution of Ce, viz. the reduction
of J on'the anode by the capture of electrons from the
valence zone. This reduction could also be visually confirmed
because the discoloring of the solution, which is character-
istic of iodine, did not occur. Iodine in this case probably
plays the part of a current carrier and promotes the exchange
of electrons between the valence zone and the zone of con-
ductivity. Herefrom the authors draw the folloving conclu-
sions: Only the reaction of the anodic dissolution of Germanium,
which is connected with the destruction of the crystal lattice,
is limited by the diffusion of the holes to the surface.
Other oxidation reactions davelop without the assistance of
Card 3/4 the holes, but by the penetration of electrons into the anode.

TITLE: Hydrogen Evolution on a Germanium Cathode
PERIODICAL: Zhurnal fizioheskoy khimii, 1960, Vol. 34v Ho. 12,
pp. 2804-2807
TEXT: In contrast to the results obtained by W. Brattain and C. Garrett
(Re 1) the authors found no difference in the course of the polarization
curv;B (il-logI) which were taken on p- and n-type germanium at current
densities of 1o-5 to 1o-1 a/cm2 after previous long-lasting polarization
(Ref. 2). The authors attempted to study the reasons of the rbeence of
a distinct electron diffusion boundary current on the polarization curves.
The curves potential - current were taken by a quick method which permitted
the polarization measurements to be made at a low hydrogen overvoltage. In
the experiments the voltage was applied to the electrolyzer by a special
generator of sawtooth_pulses which allowed the voltage supply to be
changed from 30 to lo 4 see. The potential of the germanium electrode
was measured in 0.1 N HC1 at current densities of jo-3 to 3.10-2 a/cm2

and 200 as referred to a hydrogen electrode in the same solution (Fig. 1).
Curve 1 corresponds to n-type germanium and curve 2 to p-type germanium.
The curves were taken within three seconds. At a potential more negative
than 0.6 v the curves I - I for n- and p-type germanium cathodes diverge.
At I - 3-10- 2 a/cM2 the polarization of the p-type germanium electrode
increases by 0.3 v compared to that of n-type germanium. When measuring
the potential after preceding cathodic polarization of the electrode to
a constant potential no deviation was found between the curves of p-type
and n-type germanium. The difference in the kinetics of the electrolytic
evolution of hydrogen on p- and n3type sermanium becomes manifest only at
current densities exceeding 3.10- a/cm and in a very short initial
range. This phenomenon is connected with the bending of the energy zones
on the semiconductor surface during adsorption and the entrance of the
hydrogen atoms into the cryiital lattice. Fig. 2 shows the y - I curves for
a solution of 0.1 N HC1 + 0.1 N (NH4)2S 208which were taken within three
seconds on n-(curve 1) and p-(curve 2) type germanium, whereas curve 3
corresponds to the hydrogen evolution in20 1 N HCl on n-type germanium.

n-type germanium electrode rose strongly and anomalously (Fig. 3). This
was not the case in degenerate semiconductors because of their ohmic fall
of potential in the impoverished layer on the germanium surface and in.
the semiconductor mass. The electron diffusion from the mass of p-type
germanium to its surface reduces the rate of electrochemical reaction
neither in hydrogen evolution nor in the reduction of the peraullato ion.

ABSTRAM This paper is an experimental confirmation of the assump-
tion made by J.Flynn (Ref ~), ao cording to which, un-
like what is the case with germaniiimq mainly the holes
are used up in the electrochemical 'isoolution of Si which
are formed in the space charge layer on the boundary between
semiconductor and electrolytev and where only an insigni-
ficant number of holes is formed by generation within the
semiconductor. The method employed is described in refer-
ence 3. The experiments were made by means of an a-silicon
lamella (resistivity about 3 ohmo*cm), On one side of the
lamella a p-n junction with an area of 0,03 GIM2 was pro-
duced by melting aluminum, and an the same side an Qhmic
contact was connected. The lamells. was insulated by means

place opposite the p-n junction-The thickness of the
n-Si layer between the boundary of the p-region and the
electrolyte was 20-251t- The experiments were made at
200 in 2.5n IIF. Figure 1 shows the polarization curves of
the anodic dissolution of ^i in the interval of current
densities from 10-6 to 5.10-4 a/cm2. Curve I was obtained
with an open circuit of the p-n junction and connection
of the positive pole of the current source to the chmic
contact. Curve 2 waa obtained by connection of a back bias
of 100 v to the p-n junction. Both ,,urves are -in full
agreement, For comparison, curves are introduced; whish
were obtained with ordinary Si-electrodes with a specific
resistance of 3 ohm.cm and 10 ohm.cm. The change i ii e I ec -
trode thickness in the case of the same specific resistance
exerts no influence on the anodic disoolution of S!, which
is in contradiction to the results obtained with germanium
(Ref 3). Thus it has been proven that the holes necessary
for the anodic dissolution of Si are essentially formed

TITLE: celState of Anodically Polarized
Investigation of the Surfs
Germanium in Alkaline Solutions
PERIODICALt Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR, 1960, Vol. 134, No. 6,
pp. 1367-1389
TEXT: The authors studied the state of anodically polarized germanium
by recording the curve of charge. To exclude semiconductor effects, they
used degenerateopolycrystalline germanium. The experiments were made in
0.1 N KOH at 20 C. The germanium electrode was anodically polarized at
various current densities for a certain- eriod. Then, the curve of charge
was recorded at a current density of 10 3 a/cm2 by means of an ;H0-1
(ENO-1) oscilloscope. Fig.1 shows the curves of charge after anodic polari.-
zation at the potentials -0-350 v and -0-330 v, and a duration of 10, 20,
60, and 120 sec. In all cases, the authors observedv at about-0-75 v,
a retardation of the potential increase which is due to the oxygen dis.-
charge on the germanium surface. In anodic polarization T = -0.35 v,
the amount of electricity needed is about 4-5*1o-4 coulomb/cM2 , and does

not depend on the time of polarization. The potential of about 1-4 v cor-
responds to the potential of hydro en separation on a pure germanium sur-
face in 0.1 N KOH at I - 10-3 a/eX The amount of chemically adsorbed
oxygen depends on the potential of anodic polarization. It is completely
eliminated by cathodic polarization at q 4 -0-35 v. With an increase in
the potential to -0-330 v, a horizontal step appears in the curve of chari/
at YFv -0-75 v. The total amount of electricity needed to remove the oxygeft-
rises by one order of magnitude, and now depends on the duration of the
preceding anodic polarization (jo-3 coulomb/cm2 at T - 10 see,
7-10-3 coulomb/OM2 at T - 120 see). The observed step makes the authors
conclude that with anode potentials higher than -0.35 v, part of the elec--
trochemically adsorbed oxygen is bound more closely to the surface. A
monomolecular GeO layer is formed. Fig. 2 shows that the retardation at
Y = -0-75 v can only be observed at anodic potentials below q - -0.180 v.
At higher potentials or after longer polarization, the horizontal step
disappears. Fig. 3 shows the curve of charge at anodic polarization with
I - 2.5- 10-2 a/cm2 (T - -0-03 v). After longer duration of polarization,
the potential of the electrode rises to +0.6 v due to slow diffusion

the curve of charge at If = -0.25 v. The experimental data show that the
total amount of 0 adsorbed to Ge may attain more than 10 monomolecular
layers, In the cane of anodic dissolution, an oxide layer forms which is

TITLE: Anodic dissolution of germanium in the presence of reducing
agents
PERIODICAL: Zhurnal fizicheskoy khimii, V. 35, no. 3, 1961, 543-547
TEXT: The authors studied the mechanism of anodic dissolution ?S thin
germanium electrodes on addition of reducing agents such as C20 4 or I-. The
electrode used was a germanium lamina with a resistivity of 20SIem and a
diffusion length of I mm. The germanium lamina was 200 p thick. On one
side of the germanium lamina, a p-n electron transition was produced by al-
loying with indium. The potential of this germanium electrode with respect
to a saturated calomel electrode was determined for vario-Ls current densi-
ties at 200C, All polarization curves obtained in the presence of reducing
agents showed a distinct limiting current with potentials more positive than
0-5 v. The authors discussed the mechanism of accelerated germanium disaolu-
tion on addition of a reducing agent. Experimental data showed an additior&
supply of holes from the lower semiconductor layers to its surface in the

presence of reducing agents. Electrons are injected in germanium during
the oxidation of reducing agents. This produces an electric field permit-
ting the supply of holes from the interior of the semiconductor to the sur-
face. This accelerates anodic dissolution. The increase in the saturation
current is higher on addition of I- ions than of C 02- ions to the solution.

Anodic dissolution of silicon in hydrofluoric acid
Zhurnal fizicheskoy khimii, v- 35, no. 2, 1961, 384-388
TEXT: The procens of anodic dissolution of p-type and n-type silicon with
specific resistance of about 1OD-cm in 2.5 N hydrofluoric acid at 200C has
been studied. The investigation is of practical interest for the electro-
chemical etching of silicon. The silicon samples tested were toward (111);
the minority carriers have'an ave~rage lifetime of 30-40 gaec. Polarization
and differential capacity were measured referred to a saturated calomel
ele:trode; the potential-veraus-time curves were measured with anNO-l
(M-1) oscilloscope. The method has been described by the authors in a pre-
vious paper on the dissolution of germanium (Zh. fiz. khimii, ~J, 441, 1959)-

solution. For p-type silicon, however, T is a linear function of log I
between 10-~-6 and 5-10- 3. It follows therefrom that the dissolving process
is determined by the number of holes at the silicon-electrolyte interface.
The dissolution causes the formation of an oxide layer which is dark on
p-type silicon and dissolves hardly in concentrated hydrofluoric acid, but
with vigorous evolution of hydrogen in cold potassium hydroxide. The ox-
ide lay'er on n-type silicon is much thinner and reacts hardly with potassium
hydroxide, but is dissolved in concentrated hydrofluoric acid. Apparently,
the oxide layer on p-type silicon consists mainly of bivalent, and that on
n-type silicon of tetravalent silicon compoundu. Differential capacity was
measured at 200, 1000, and MOM cps. (Figs. 2 and 3)1 the curves corre-
spond to those for germanium, but the capacity is lower. For p-type silicon
it is about one order of magnitude higher than for n-type silicon; this is
due to the fwt that:h the 1-Ater t~_- impov6rishad carrier band is broader. The chwige
of the electrode potential after reversing from cathode to anode direction
is shown in Fig. 4. Conclusions: The first stage of anodic dissolution is
the electrochemical oxidation of the electrode surface) then, the hydro-
fluosilicic compounds formed on the surface enter the solution; this process

io
~A-type silicon)y the dissolution of the silicon oxide compounds formed on the
durface is rendered difficult and electrochemical oxidation of the electrode
Aurface continues unimpeded. Probably, this is the reason why tetravalent

respectively. There are 4 figures and 5 references: I Soviet-bloc and

PERIODICAL: Zhurnal fizicheskoy khimii, v. 36, no. 1, 1962, 98 - 102
TEK'V-. The surface condition of a germanium anode has been studied at a
current density of 10-5 to 10- 1a/cm 2 in 0.1 N H2so4 at 200C. All the
experiments were made with polycrystalline, non-semiconductive, degenerate
germanium with an impurity concentration of nearly 0.01%. Preliminary
tests have shown that germanium of this type behaves in anodic dissolution
like p-type germanium. The charge curves were measured with an 9H0-1
(ENO-1) oscilloscope. The germanium electrode was anodically polarized
at different current densities for some time, whereupon thel -Q curve was
recorded at a cathode current density of 10-3 a/cm 2. The germanium
electrode was etched in CP-4 (SR-4) before each experiment. In addition,

its resistance and capacitance were determined between 60 and 5000 coo.
It has been found that an electrochemically adsorbed layer of oxygen is
formed on the germanium surface at a potential less than 0.38 v. The
layer has a thickness of about 2 - 13 oxygen atoms, which is independent
of the DOtential and of the time of polarization. A monomolecular layer of
a defined compound of one germanium atom per oxygen atom starts forminE
above 0.33 v. This monomolecular layer exhibits a high resistance and
can be entirely dissolved cathodically. At 0.57 v and more, thick,
macroscopically detectable layers of GeO, the thickness of which grows
with the potential and with the duration of polarization, are formed on
the germanium surface. The oxide is not completely dissolved by cathodic
polarization. The potential required for the separation of oxylgen on it
is higher than on pure germanium. There are 5 figures and 5 references:

is adsorbed on the positively charged Ge surface. Since he valence
electrons of the ion are drawn to the oxygen atoms, the Crg+ ce.iter
attracts electrons and repels holes. This inhibits the anodic dissolution
and reduces the saturation current. On exposure to light, this effect is
compensated by the intense generation of holes on the surface. There are

!ABSTRACT: The purpose of this investiGation was 'to find the cause of the discre-
pancicG--between the theoretically calculato-d limiting current for the anodic
dissolutioi~ of gemanium and the much greater experimentally observed current.
Since the ordinary single crystals of germaniwa are not strictly homogenious

static method in 0.1 N 112S04 (Fig- 1). The experimental results show that the
.increase of the limiting current during the anodic dissolution of germanium is
tassociated with an additional Generation of boles on some parts of the electrode
surface. A higher concentration of Cu and Ni on such parts of the electrode may
lead to the formation of the high resistance micro regions where the acceptor
'impurities compensate for the main part of donor impurities or it may lead to
segreGatioa of Cu and Ni into a separation phase, primarily at the places of dia-
ruption of the, crystal lattice. In the areas or germanium on wbich the conductivi-I
:1ty is close to the bulk conductivity, the limiting current due to holes is much
$Greater than on bulk n-germanium. U-
pon increase of anodic polarization these
zones may completely change the type of conductivity. The p-regions which occur
at the n-germanium electrolyte interface will carry a large fraction of currentj
thus individual areas of the electrode surface dissolve more rapidly than others.
!A segregation of Cu and Ni in a separate phase in the germanium Prystal, may be

tion of holes. For this semiconductor with a wide forbidden zone the ma-in potential!

means of anodic polarization curves, measurements of photoelectric potential, Jif-
femntial capacitance, cathodic charging curves and current efficienc-f. Single
