OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF SILICON LAYERS WITH InSb AND InAs NANOCRYSTALS FORMED BY ION-BEAM SYNTHESIS

Abstract: We have studied the formation of InSb and InAs precipitates with sizes of several nanometers in Si and SiO 2 /Si by means of implantation of (Sb + In) or (As + In) ions with energies from 170 to 350 keV and fluencies from 2.8×10 16 to 3.5×10 16 cm -2 at 500 °C and subsequent annealing at 1050-1100 °C for 3-30 min. A broad band in the region of 1.2-1.6 µm has been registered in the low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of both (Sb + In) and (As + In) implanted and annealed silicon crystals.

“…That suggests that sample f1 annealed with RTA at 1000 °C presents a better efficiency for the optical emission than samples f2 and f5 annealed under the same conditions. The observed PL emission is consistent with PL reported by other studies where InAs nanocrystal are synthesized in silicon by different methods and different annealing techniques were employed . At 12 K, the bandgap for a bulk InAs crystal is 0.417.…”

“…Although the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is the most used technique to produce such nanostructures, the combination of ion implantation and thermal annealing has proved to be an interesting alternative . Indeed, ion implantation allows full control over parameters like mean depth and local concentration of the implanted species and it is fully compatible with current Si‐based technology.…”

“…Synthesis of direct gap III-V and II-VI semiconductors in a sili con matrix is viewed as a promising technology of new generation silicon detectors and LEDs. Previ ously [21][22][23][24], we discussed experimental data for the synthesis of InAs, InSb, and GaSb nanoclusters in Si and SiO 2 by high dose ion implantation and post implantation high temperature annealing. Elemental and structural analyses of the samples were carried out, and their optical characteristics were studied.…”
