Abstract

The thermally oxidized Si1−x−yGexCy thin films were grown on silicon substrates by Plasma-enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) and then wet oxidized at 800°C for 20 minutes. Photoluminescence spectra of the samples were measured at room temperature under 250nm excitation. Two ultraviolet photoluminescence bands with the peaks at ∼370nm and ∼396nm were observed in the oxidized samples. Possible mechanism of this photoluminescence is discussed.
