Abstract
A new class of composite materials named photonic crystals are a potential technology for modification of the absorption spectrum of electromagnetic waves in semiconductor devices due to photonic band gap formation. The light-assisted method of n-Si electrochemical etching allows the formation of macroporous photonic crystals with a high ratio of pore depth to pore diameter and with strong periodicity. Research into photonic crystals has mainly been directed towards optical and microwave applications. However, one of the main features of the photonic band gap is the decay wave formation and the transition to Joule thermal energy. Anomalous coefficients of the light absorption due to decay wave formation allow the development novel thermal and photo detectors on the basis of macroporous silicon.
