摘要: The present study of deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) is focused on a comparison the trap states in two types Ge nanocrystallites (NCs)-insulator composites. investigated systems were dielectric matrices Al2O3 and SiO2 which NCs embedded. We have found couples traps with related values activation energies both Ge:Al2O3 Ge:SiO2 films. In films relatively low content (where only small sized 3–5 nm could been detected by means Raman spectroscopy), we observed an energy ∼50 meV 120 50 meV systems, that electron carrier capture cross-section (10−21–10−23 cm2). identified levels to be quantum confinement NCs. For samples higher contents, where NC size reaches about 20 nm appreciable portion matrix consists amorphous (α-Ge), ...
