Abstract

Co-implantation, with overlapping implantation projected ranges, of Si and of the doping species (P, As, or B), followed by a single thermal anneal step, is proved to be a viable route to form doped Si-nc’s embedded in SiO2, with diameters of a few nanometers. Extensive results of the evolution of the Si-nc’s related photoluminescence, as a function of the dopant implanted dose, are presented and discussed. Atomic Probe Tomography (APT) is used to image directly the spatial distribution of the various species at the atomic scale. The 3D APT data demonstrate that n-type dopant atoms (P and As) are efficiently introduced in the "bulk" of the Sinanocrystals, whereas B atoms are preferentially located at their periphery, at the Si/SiO2 interface.
