Abstract
The luminescence of single-crystalline 6H-SiC plates after electrochemical etching has been investigated. The photoluminescence spectrum was found to change strongly after etching; the decay times of separate bands were determined. Just as in the case of silicon, the change in the photoluminescence could be due to the formation of nanostructures.
