摘要
beta-Silicon carbide layers have been prepared by high temperature pyrolysis of polyimide Langmuir-Blodgett films on porous silicon substrate in vacuum. The formation of silicon carbide is confirmed by the IR and XRD spectra. It is found that photoluminescence still exists and appears in the blue-green and ultraviolet regions after thermal treatment at 900 degrees C. These results indicate that the silicon carbide layers, which ie formed, are responsible for the blue-green luminescence. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
