摘要: Abstract Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) decays have been measured for silicon nanocrystallites embedded in dioxide. The were formed by implanting Si ions at various doses into thermally grown SiO2 films, followed thermal annealing 1100 °C. Silicon dioxide films of thickness the range 100–1000 A used. results show that PL could be detected even as thin 100 A. spectral and time-dependence characteristics are very similar to those porous Si, exhibiting a clear stretched exponential behavior. extracted parameters τ β are, however, somewhat higher value nanocrystallites. This may tentatively attributed high degree passivation nano crystallites oxide matrix. An observed redshift thinner oxides implantation explained considering excess concentration along profile. decay suggests carrier trapping diffusion occurs between adjacent nanocrystallites, most likely form excitons. © 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
