  ABSTRACT: Self-organization processes in semiconductor materials on the example of nanostructuring of por-Si at long anodic etching of p-type Si in the electrolyte with internal source of the current are shown. In conditions of a “soft” etching of the Si point defects are formed and in the subsequently occurs their spatial-temporal ordering. This leads to the ordering pores and the nanostructuring of por-Si. Self-organization mechanism of Si nanocrystallites islets is described by the effects of the elastically-deformative, defectively-deformative and capillary-fluctuation forces.
