    摘要: A process is provided for forming a silicon material which exhibits room temperature photoluminescence and/or electroluminescence. It comprises the steps of implanting silicon ions into a silicon oxide (SiO.sub.2) substrate and subsequently annealing the substrate at an elevated temperature for a period such as to bring about Si nanocrystal formation, the nanocrystals being dispersed through the SiO.sub.2 substrate. Photoluminescence of visible light from the resulting substrate is induced on irradiation of the substrate with e.g. ultraviolet light, and the substrate can also be incorporated into an electroluminescent device. The process is characterised by the features of implanting silicon ions at a dose from 1.times.10.sup.17 /cm.sup.2 to less than that required to produce saturation and by the use of an implantation energy of 100 keV or more. The resulting silicon nanocrystals dispersed through the SiO.sub.2 substrate have an average particle size of about 30 .ANG..

    摘要: A system for making porous silicon on blank and patterned Si substrates by "immersion scanning", particularly suitable for fabricating light-emitting Si devices and utilizing an open electrolytic cell having a cathode and an opposing anode consisting of a Si substrate on which the porous silicon is to be formed, both disposed, with their opposing surfaces in parallel, in an aqueous HF solution electrolyte contained in the cell. The substrate anode is mounted to be movable relative to the electrolyte so as to be mechanically cycled or scanned in and out of the electrolyte at a programmable rate during anodization. The uniformity, thickness and porosity of the resulting anodized layer on the substrate are determined by the scanning speed, number of cycles, current density, and HF-based electrolyte parameters of the system, and the Si substrate resistivity, conductivity type, and crystal orientation. The light-emitting silicon devices produced incorporate porous silicon layers and are operable at room temperature.

    摘要: An n-type silicon (Si) wafer is galvanostatically etched in a hydrofluoric acid (HF)-containing solution while being illuminated with a 300 watt tungsten light source to form porous silicon with luminescent properties. Photoluminescence of the porous silicon is monitored using a short wavelength visible or ultraviolet light source and a monochromator/CCD detector assembly. Upon exposure to organic solvents, the photoluminescence is quenched. Within seconds of removal of the solvent, the original intensity is recovered and further exposure of the porous silicon to organic solvents will again result in quenching of the luminescence.

    摘要: A polished wafer of single-crystal silicon (Si) is ohmically contacted on its backside to a copper wire to provide a working electrode. The wafer and a counterelectrode are immersed in a solution of aqueous HF and ethanol within an optical quality cuvette. Lithographic images are projected onto the silicon wafer within the solution, and the wafer is etched galvanostatically at a low current density until a predetermined charge density is attained. The areas of an n-type silicon wafer exposed to the light during the etch will exhibit visible luminescence when the wafer is illuminated with an ultraviolet (UV) lamp or other short wavelength visible light. The areas of the wafer that were not exposed to the pattern during etch will not luminesce.
