摘要
X-ray Diffraction and Reflectivity, Transmission Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy were applied to study the effect of thermal annealing on the properties of thin SiOx films (similar to 15 nm) prepared by thermal evaporation of SiO in vacuum. It has been shown that furnace annealing at 1000 degrees C causes phase separation and formation of uniformly distributed Si nanocrystals into a SiO2 matrix. Clockwise hysteresis has been observed in the C-V curves measured and explained by assuming charging and discharging of the NCs with carriers, which tunnel from the Si substrate.
