摘要
Si-rich SiO2 films (SRO) and Er-doped, Si-rich SiO2 films (Er:SRO) were deposited by reactive RF magnetron co-sputtering followed by thermal annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere in order to investigate the optimum condition for efficient 1.54 mu m emission. Reference Er in stoichiometric SiO2 (Er:SiO2) films were deposited for comparison. The room temperature photoluminescence intensity of SRO films without Er was found to be maximized at 38 at% Si after annealing at 1100 degrees C for 1 hour. On the contrary, we found that the maximized Er photoluminescence of Er:SRO with 38 at% Si and an Er concentration of 10(20) cm(-3) occurred for annealing temperatures between 600 degrees C and 800 degrees C. Under these conditions the 1.54 mu m Er emission is enhanced by more than two orders of magnitude relative to Er:SiO2 samples while negligible SRO emission is observed.
