摘要
Silicon-rich silicon nitride films with embedded silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) were fabricated successfully on plastic substrates at a low temperature by catalytic chemical vapor deposition. A mixture of SiH4, NH3 and H-2 was used as a source gas. Formation of the silicon nanocrystals was analyzed by photoluminescence spectra and was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. The formation of Si NCs required an H-2/SiH4 mixture ratio that was higher than four. (c) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
