摘要
As-deposited a-SiNxH (0.1 < x < 0.9) thin films prepared by. evaporation of silicon under a flow of nitrogen and hydrogen ions exhibit visible photoluminescence at room temperature without any posttreatment. The nitrogen concentration was determined by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The structural characterization was performed with Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. The optical gap was obtained from transmission measurements in the ultraviolet-visible-near infrared range. These studies were correlated to the evolution of the photoluminescence properties.
