摘要
Silicon quantum dots(Si QDs) were grown in situ in SiC_x:H/a-C:H hetero-multilayer films at a low substrate temperature using a radio frequency(13.56MHz) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) method.The component and bonding configuration of the SiC_x:H/a-C:H hetero-multilayer films have been systematically investigated by Raman, FTIR and HRTEM testing techniques.The results show that there are amorphous Si QDs in SiC_x:H/a-C:H hetero-multilayer films.Without high temperature post-deposition annealing treatments, as increasing CH_4 flow rate, the coexistence of amorphous Si QDs and silicon nanocrystals in SiC_x:H matrix layers has been confirmed by Raman and HRTEM measurements.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV–Vis spectrometry measurements show that the a-C:H layer is mainly consisted of the sp~2-bonded and sp~3-bonded carbon atoms and its optical band gap is 1.63 eV.The obtained experimental results are meaningful to develop a method for the in situ formation of Si QDs and to reduce the barrier height between Si QDs and barrier layer in vertical direction by replacing SiC barrier layer in the SiC_x/SiC multilayer films structure with the a-C:H layer.
