Photoluminescence enhancement and stabilisation of porous silicon passivated by iron

Iron is incorporated in porous silicon (PS) by impregnation method using Fe(NO₃)₃ aqueous solution. The presence of iron in PS matrix is shown from energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements. The optical properties of PS and PS-doped iron are studied by photoluminescence (PL). The iron deposited in PS quenched the silicon dangling bonds then increased the PL intensity. The PL peak intensity of impregnated PS is seven times stronger than that in normal PS. Upon exposing iron-PS sample to ambient air, there is no significant change in peak position but the PL intensity increases during the first 3 weeks and then stabilises. The stability is attributed to passivation of the Si nanocrystallites by iron.     

The Influence of Immersion of Porous Silicon in Aqueous Solutions of Fe(NO<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>3</Subscript> on Photoluminescence during Long Storage

The interaction of porous silicon (PS) with aqueous solutions of Fe(NO₃)₃ with different molar (M) concentrations causes introduction of iron ions into silicon pores (PS–Fe), formation of adsorbed iron coatings with different thicknesses, and an increase in the stability of PS layers, which is important for development of device structures based of PS. To treat PS layers with solutions by the immersion method, it is necessary to determine how this affects the spectral composition and intensity of photoluminescence (PL), as well as the kinetics of PL changes during long storage under atmospheric conditions. Upon treatment of freshly prepared PS by immersion into in a Fe(NO₃)₃ aqueous solution, it was found that, after short-term storage (up to 5 days) of the PS samples, the PL intensity increases by 7.5 and 3–3.6 times at low (0.2 M) and high (0.7–0.8 M) concentrations of Fe(NO₃)₃, respectively, compared to the PL intensity of an untreated PS layer. After long-term storage (4 months), the PL intensity of PS–Fe samples with concentrations of 0.1–0.2 and 0.7–0.8 M was observed to considerably increase (by 8–18 times) with unchanged position of the PL peak with respect to untreated PS. However, at the Fe(NO₃)₃ concentration of 0.3 М, the PL intensity decreases and the PL peak shifts to the blue, which is explained by incomplete coverage of the PS surface by an adsorbed iron layer. The kinetics of PL spectra during long-term storage is analyzed, and a model is proposed to explain the PL intensity and spectral composition.

PASSIVATION OF THE InP(100) SURFACE USING (NH4)2Sx

InP(100) surface treated with (NH₄)₂S_x has been investigated by using photolumines-cence(PL), Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, It is found that PL intensity increased by a factor of 3.3 after (NH₄)₂S_x passivation and the sulfur remained on the surface only bonded to indium, not to phosphorus. This suggests that the sulfur atoms replace the phosphorus atoms on the surface and occupy the phosphorus vacancies.

Improvement of photoluminescence properties of porous silicon by silica passivation

Porous silicon (PS) was passivated by silica film using a sol-gel method; the photoluminescence (PL) properties were significantly improved; namely, PL intensity and stability increased and PL peak shifted to shorter wavelength. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscope (FTIR) results indicated that silica passivation produced a compact film on the PS surface and modified the surface state of PS. The number of stable surface bonds (HSiO₃, HSiSiO₂ and H₂SiO₂) increased due to the oxidation of SiH back-bonds during the gelation process, and thus the PL intensity and stability were improved. Moreover, the blue-shift of PL peak was determined due to the increase in the ratio of SiO/SiH.     

The influence of CHx coating on the optical properties of porous silicon

In this work, we report a study on the influence of CH_x thickness layer on optical properties of CH_x/PS/Si structures. The hydrocarbon groups were deposited by plasma of methane–argon mixture.The properties of these structures are investigated by photoluminescence (PL), reflection and spectral response measurements from where a different behavior depending on CH_x layer thickness has been observed.The entire total reflection spectrum is modulated by Fabry–Pérot fringes that are a result of thin film interference. As the CH_x layer thickness increases, the amplitude of the interferences decreases and a positive shift of the maximum peak is observed.The PL spectra from CH_x/PS samples with two CH_x layer thicknesses show more intense luminescence than that observed from PS sample and the existence of an optimum thickness CH_x that gives the maximum PL intensity. The spectral response spectra show the presence of an intense peak at 450 nm. Finally, the results point out the importance of CH_x coating in optoelectronic applications.     

Enhancement of photoluminescence intensity from Si nanodots using Al2O3 surface passivation layer grown by atomic layer deposition

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) from Si nanodots with Al₂O₃ surface passivation layers was studied. The Si nanodots were grown by low pressure chemical vapor deposition and the Al₂O₃ thin films were prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD), respectively. The BOE (Buffer-Oxide-Etch) treatment resulted in the damaged surface of Si nanodots and thus caused dramatic reduction in the PL intensity. Significant enhancement of the PL intensity from Si nanodots after the deposition of Al₂O₃ thin films was observed over a wide temperature range, indicating the remarkable surface passivation effect to suppress the non-radiative recombination at the surface of Si nanodots. The results demonstrated that the Al₂O₃ surface passivation layers grown by ALD are effectually applicable to nanostructured silicon devices.     

A combined approach to fabricating Si nanocrystals with high photoluminescence intensity

This work demonstrates that by combining three methods with different mechanisms to enhance the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of Si nanocrystals embedded in SiO₂ (or Si-nc:SiO₂), a promising material for developing Si light sources, a very high PL intensity can be achieved. A 30-layered sample of Si-nc:SiO₂/SiO₂ was prepared by alternatively evaporating SiO and SiO₂ onto a Si(1 0 0) substrate followed by thermal annealing at 1100 °C. This multilayered sample possessed a fairly high PL efficiency of 14% as measured by Greenham's method, which was 44 times that of a single-layered one for the same amount of excess Si content. Based on this multilayered sample, treatments of CeF₃ doping and hydrogen passivation were subsequently applied, and a high PL intensity which was 167 times that of a single-layered one for the same amount of excess Si content was achieved.
