Abstract

Visible photoluminescence(PL) in si-implanted SiO2 films on crystaline silicon were observed. Thermal oxide films of 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness on P-type crystal silicon were made and si+ ions were implanted with 200keV acceleration voltage on ti. Argon laser (wavelength 488nm) and PM tube were used for PL measurements. As annealing time increased at low temperature, the visible PL intensity are increased and the peak positions are changed. On the other hand, with increasing annealing time at high temperature, the visible PL intensity are disappeared. From the PL peaks and intensity changes, XRD results, and TEM observations, we will discuss the origin of PL in Si+-implanted SiO2 films with oxygen righ defects and silicon rich defects.
