Annealing studies of visible light emission from silicon nanocrystals produced by implantation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:456357

The annealing behavior of silicon implanted SiO{sub 2} layers is studied using continuous and time-gated photoluminescence (PL). Two PL emission bands are observed. A band centered at 560 nm is present in as implanted samples and it is still observed after 1000 {degrees}C annealing. The emission time is fast (0.2 -2 ns). A second band centered at 780 nm further increases when hydrogen annealing was performed. The emission time is long (1 {mu}s - 0.3 ms).
