Description

Erbium and silicon dual implantation into silicon is performed on MEVVA ion source implanter. After rapid thermal annealing, 1.54 μm photoluminescence is observed at 77 K. Er ions are mainly distributed near the surface of the samples, and Er atomic concentration exceeds 1021 cm-3. Needle neanometer crystalline silicon (nc-Si) is formed on the surface of silicon. The mechanism of Er3+ luminescence is investigated
