This article presents a study of the mechanism of porous space formation on the surface of single-crystal indium phosphide. The dissolution features of crystals of various types of conductivity and crystallographic orientation of the surface are demonstrated. The attention is focused on the formation of pore chain channels on the surface of n-InP (111). The main stages of the pore formation process are highlighted, which are described according to two competing theories—spontaneous seeding and defect–dislocation mechanism.
