During the past several decades, Si nanocrystals (NCs) have received remarkable attention in view of potential optoelectronic device applications. This paper summarizes recent progress in the study of luminescence from Si NCs, such as photoluminescence (PL), cathodoluminescence, time-solved PL, and electroluminescence. The paper is especially focused on Si NCs produced by ion beam sputtering deposition ofSiOxsingle layer orSiOx/SiO2multilayers and subsequent annealing. The effects of stoichiometry (x) and thickness of SiOxlayers on the luminescence are analyzed in detail and discussed based on possible mechanisms.

AbstractSi/SiO2 multilayers (MLs) have been prepared under different deposition temperatures (TS) by ion beam sputtering. The annealing at 1200°C leads to the formation of Si nanocrystals in the Si layer of MLs. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy images clearly demonstrate the existence of Si nanocrystals, which exhibit photoluminescence (PL) in the visible range when TS is ≥ 300°C. This is attributed to well-separation of nanocrystals in the higher-TS samples, which is thought to be a major cause for reducing non-radiative recombination in the interface between Si nanocrystal and surface oxide. The visible PL spectra are enhanced in its intensity and are shifted to higher energy by increasing TS. These PL behaviours are consistent with the quantum confinement effect of Si nanocrystals.

The Al2O3 nano-films of different thicknesses (1~100nm) were successfully deposited on the monocrystalline Si surface by using ion beam sputtering deposition. The surface topography and the component of nano-films with different thickness were analyzed. The quality of the surface of nano-films was systematically studied. When the films’ thickness increase, the studies by atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectrum(XPS) show that the gathering grain continually grows up and transits from acerose cellula by two-dimensional growth to globularity by three-dimensional growth. The elements O, Al and Si were found on the surface of Al2O3 nano-films. With the thickness of the films increasing, the content of Al gradually increases and the intensity peak of Si wears off, the surface quality of the deposited films is ceaselessly improved

The study reports a new surface formation technology during manufacturing process of parallel indexing cam mechanism, ion beam sputtering deposition, in which the operation temperature can be controlled below the limitation of phases exchanging or at room temperature. Phase exchanging deformation can be avoided and the shape accuracy and dimension accuracy can be improved compared with surface quenching process. The microstructure and properties of TiAlN/AlN composite film deposited on the profile surface of cam (made of 45 steel) by ion beam sputtering deposition were discussed. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis has been used to characterize film’s microstructure and properties. The micro-hardness and adherence grade were tested.
