摘要
Microcrystalline silicon thin films doped with erbium were produced by RF sputtering and their structural, chemical and optical properties were studied by X-ray diffractometry at grazing incidence, Rutherford back scattering (RBS) and optical transmission spectroscopy. The samples exhibit a sharp photoluminescence (PL) spectrum from the Er centres with the strongest peak positioned at 1.536 mum with a full width at half maximum of about 8 nm. When the temperature varies between 5 and 300 K, the photoluminescence decreases only 5-fold, in contrast to the behaviour reported for monocrystalline silicon. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
