Abstract

The SiO2 films thermally grown on crystalline Si were implanted with Ge ions at 60 keV with doses of l×1015 cm-2 and l×1016 cm-2, followed by thermal annealing at various temperatures. Under an ultraviolet excitation of 240 nm, the films exhibit intense violet luminescence with a peak at 396 nm. This peak is ascribed to the T1 → S0 transition in GeO formed during implantation and annealing. After 1100°C annealing, Ge clusters were formed in an SiO2 matrix and a PL peak at 840 nm, due to the quantum confinement effect, which was measured at low temperature (77 K).
