Nanocrystals of SiGe alloy have been formed inside a SiO{sub 2} matrix by the ion implantation technique. It is demonstrated that the sequence of implantation of Si and Ge ions affects the nanocrystal formation significantly. This is explained by the ion beam mixing effect during sequential implantation. The size distributions of the SiGe nanocrystals can also be controlled by annealing conditions.
