Description

The observation of visible photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature from nano-crystallites of silicon films is reported, which are prepared in a PECVD system by using strong hydrogen diluted silane as the reactant gas source, without any post-processing. We attribute the PL to the photons above the band gap of bulk crystal silicon created by the carriers in the nano-crystallites under the function of quantum size effect. The effective deposition parameters are concerned
