Abstract CdSiAs2 belongs to the II-IV-V2 group of chalcopyrite semiconductors with a direct band gap of 1.51 eV at T=300 K. In this paper we investigate the spectral dependence of the steady-state photoluminescence of CdSiAs2 anodized layers. These layers were fabricated by electrochemical anodization of unoriented p-type CdSiAs2 wafers in an solution of HF in ethanol. It is found that a broad photoluminescence band with a maximum at the photon energy ℏω=1.82 eV at 300 K arises. This band lies deep in the fundamental absorption region of CdSiAs2 crystals. The dependence of the parameters of the photoluminescence spectra of anodized Si, GaAs, and CdSiAs2 layers is discussed.
