The future development of porous silicon (PS)-based optoelectronic devices depends on a proper understanding of electrical transport properties of the PS material. Electrical transport in PS is influenced not only by each step of processing and fabrication methods but also by the properties of the initial base substrate. This chapter endeavors to chronologically document how the knowledge base on the nature of carrier transport in PS and the factors governing the electrical properties has evolved over the past years. The topics covered include the proposed electrical transport models including those based on effective medium theories, studies on contacts, studies on physical factors influencing electrical transport, anisotropy in electrical transport, and attempts to classify the PS material.
