After the first visible photoluminescence (PL) from porous silicon (pSi), continuous efforts are
made to fabricate Si‐based compound nanomaterials embedded in matrices such as oxide …

Strong white and blue photoluminescence (PL) from as-grown silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) in
SiN x films prepared by remote plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition using SiCl …

Strong white luminescence, visible to naked eye at room temperature, was observed from as
grown SiO x C y thin films without the need of annealing. SiO x C y thin films were prepared …

Silicon nanocrystals (Si-ncs) have been produced by implantation of Si+ in excess into SiO 2
followed by both annealing and passivation using argon or nitrogen. Nitrogen increases the …

Silicon is one of the ''oldest''electronic materials and has served the microelectronics
industry for more than half a century. On the other hand, silicon is also a ''young''material …

In this paper we present results of a low-temperature time-resolved photoluminescence (PL)
investigation of thin SiO2 films implanted with silicon ions. In addition to the luminescence of …

According to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, there is no
manufacturable solution to address the increasing interconnection lengths in microelectronic …

Photoluminescence measurements are used to investigate the light emission of silicon
nanocrystals prepared by Si+ implantation into Si O 2∕ Si layered structures. Strong …

This paper presents, the studies of the influence of (radio frequency) RF power on the size
distribution and visible photoluminescence (PL) of SiN x thin film deposited at 300∘ C of …

A comprehensive method to study semiconductor nanoparticles in thin film SiO _ 2 2
matrices has been developed. Selective and high-intensity synchrotron excitation allows the …
