ABSTRACTThe oxygen-containing silicon (Si) ultrafine particles have been deposited onto Si and SiO2 substrates by evaporation of Si powder in an oxygen-containing argon atmosphere. The asdeposited Si ultrafine particles exposed to the ultraviolet light emit blue light, which is strong enough to be seen with the naked eye. The blue light emission is associated with a broad photoluminescence (PL) peak at 2.7 eV, which is attributed to radiative recombination via a radiative recombination center. The proposed model with one radiative and two nonradiative recombination centers well explains the temperature-dependent PL peak intensity.

ABSTRACTThe ultrafine particles with diameters in the order of 10 nm were deposited onto Si and SiO2 substrates by evaporation of Ge in a pure hydrogen atmosphere. Although the as-deposited Ge ultrafine particles do not show any detectable luminescence, they emit blue light after being exposed to the UV light for a long time. The blue light is strong enough to be seen with the naked eye even under a room light. The photooxidation, unique to the Ge ultrafine particles, has been identified as a major factor contributing to the blue light emission.

In this review article, we give a new insight into the luminescence mechanism of porous silicon. First, we observed a “pinning” characteristic of photoluminescent peaks for as-etched porous silicon samples. It was explained as resulting from the discontinuous variation of the size of Si nanostructures, i.e. the size quantization. A tight-binding calculation of the energy band gap widening versus the dimension of nanoscale Si based on the closed-shell Si cluster model agrees well with the experimental observations. Second, the blue-light emission from porous silicon was achieved by using boiling water treatment. By investigating the luminescence micrographic images and the decaying behaviors of PL spectra, it has been shown that the blue-light emission is believed to be originated from the porous silicon skeleton rather than the surface contaminations. The conditions for achieving blue light need proper size of Si nanostructures, low-surface recombination velocity, and mechanically strong skeleton. The fulfillment of these conditions simultaneously is possible but rather critical. Third, the exciton dynamics in light-emitting porous silicon is studied by using the temperature-dependent and picosecond time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. A direct evidence of the existence of confined excitons induced by the quantum size effect has been revealed. Two excitation states are found to be responsible for the visible light emission, i.e. a higher lying energy state corresponding to the confined excitons in Si nanostructures and a lower lying state related with surfaces of Si wires or dots. A picture of the carrier transfer between the quantum confined state and the surface localized state has been proposed. Finally, we investigated the transient electroluminescence behaviors of Au/porous silicon/Si/Al structure and found it is very similar to that of an ordinary p-n junction light-emitting diode. The mechanism of electroluminescence is explained as the carrier injection through the Au/porous silicon Schotky barrier and the porous silicon/p-Si heterojunction into the corrugated Si wires, where the radiative recombination of carriers occurs.
