Abstract
The surface chemistry and electrochemistry of the anisotropic etching of semiconductors are reviewed. Recent insights into the anisotropic chemical etching of silicon in alkaline solution and of electrochemical etching of anisotropic pores in n-type semiconductors are described. The possible role of galvanic effects in open-circuit etching is emphasized.
