摘要：
Amorphous silicon quantum dots (a-Si QDs) were grown in a silicon nitride film by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Transmission electron micrographs clearly demonstrated that tr-Si QDs were formed in the silicon nitride. Photoluminescence and optical absorption energy measurement of cl-Si QDs with various sizes revealed that tuning of the photoluminescence emission from 2.0 to 2.76 eV is possible by controlling the size of the tr-Si QD. Analysis also showed that the photoluminescence peak energy E was related to the size of the a-Si QD, a (nm) by E(eV) = 1.56 + 2.40/a(2). which is a clear evidence for the quantum confinement effect in a-Si QDs.
