We have studied photoluminescence (PL) from porous Si anodized laterally along the length of the Si wafer. Broad PL peaks were observed with peak intensities at sim;640 to 720 nm. Strong PL intensity could be observed from 550 to 860 nm. Roomhyphen;temperature peak intensities were within an order of magnitude of peak intensities of AlGaAs/GaAs multihyphen;quantum wells taken at 4.2 K, and total intensities were comparable. A blue shift of peak intensities from sim;680 to 620 nm could be observed after thermal anneal at 500thinsp;deg;C in O2and subsequent HF dip.
