Abstract

A new method was used to fabricate nanometer-scale structures in Si for photoluminescence (PL) studies. He ions were implanted to form a dense subsurface layer of small cavities (1–8 nm diameters). The implanted specimens were either annealed in H or anodized with HF to evaluate the quantum confinement model for PL from porous Si. Incomplete passivation apparently prevented PL in the H-annealed specimens. Implantation combined with anodization produced a substantial blue shift relative to anodization alone, which is consistent with quantum confinement.
