研究目的
Investigating the use of hyperspectral and color imaging to monitor solvent vapor sorption into porous silicon with different surface chemistries and gradients for discrimination between solvents and concentrations.
研究成果
Hyperspectral imaging effectively discriminated between different solvents and concentrations based on wavelength shifts of the rugate reflectance band, primarily due to surface chemistry differences. Color imaging with hue changes was less effective. The radial gradient in pore size did not contribute significantly to selectivity. Future work could explore alternative imaging variables and light sources to improve sensitivity.
研究不足
The study observed spatial variability in responses due to factors like striations in the silicon wafer, which could affect uniformity. The color imaging provided poorer signal-to-noise ratio compared to hyperspectral imaging, limiting its effectiveness. Drift in measurements during experiments required correction, and the radial pore size gradient did not significantly enhance selectivity as hypothesized.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved preparing a porous silicon sample with a radial gradient in rugate reflectance band wavelength and two surface chemistries (methylated and oxidized). Hyperspectral and color imaging were used to monitor changes during vapor dosing with various solvents at different concentrations. Methods included electrochemical etching, surface modification, and multivariate data analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A silicon wafer (Siltronix, B doped) was used to fabricate porous silicon samples. Solvent vapors (acetone, ethanol, heptane, 2-propanol, toluene) were generated at specified concentrations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a PAR EG&G Model 173 potentiostat/galvanostat, Tektronix AFG3021 function generator, KSL-1100X-S muffle furnace, Philips XL30S FEG SEM, Perkin Elmer Spectrum Two FT-IR spectrometer, KSV Cam 100 tensiometer, QICAM camera with Varispec LCTF, Point Gray Research Flea 2G and Flea 2-03S2M cameras, and an in-house vapor dosing system. Materials included HF, ethanol, iodomethane, polystyrene, and various solvents.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Porous silicon was prepared via electrochemical etching with a sinusoidal current. Surface modification involved thermal oxidation and electrochemical methylation. Hyperspectral and RGB images were collected during vapor dosing cycles, with data processed using Matlab for wavelength and hue analysis.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) in Matlab to discriminate between solvents and concentrations based on wavelength shifts and hue changes.
