脉冲激光退火纳米碳化硅的光致发光

Photoluminescence of Nano-SiC Annealed by Pulse Laser

采用XeCl准分子脉冲激光退火技术制备了纳米晶态碳化硅薄膜(nc -SiC) ,并对薄膜的光致发光(PL)特性进行了分析。结果表明,纳米SiC薄膜的光致发光表现为30 0～6 0 0nm范围内的较宽发光谱带,随退火激光能量密度的增加,nc- SiC薄膜398nm附近的发光峰相对强度增加,而4 70nm附近发光峰相对减小。根据nc SiC薄膜的结构特性变化,认为这两个发光峰分别来源于6H -SiC导带到价带间的复合发光和缺陷态发光,并且这两种发光过程存在竞争。

Nanocrystalline silicon carbon (nc-SiC) from amorphous silicon carbon films was obtained through XeCl excimer laser annealing. The photoluminescence (PL) of the nc-SiC was analyzed at different annealing laser energy density. It was observed that PL presented a wide luminescence band from 300-600 nm in the nc-SiC films. The two main luminescence bands, situated at 398 and 470 nm respectively, are attributed to band to band and defect recombination in the 6H-SiC based on the structure changes of the nc-SiC films. The relative PL intensity of these two bands was determined by the surface state density in the nc-SiC films and their irradiative life time.
