Abstract

Recent developments in the fields of integrated circuits, CD technology, and of transmission of large volume information resulted in still growing interest in optical and spectral properties of silicon - related materials, in particular produced basing on single crystalline Czochralski grown silicon, Cz - Si. Electronic states related to the presence of structural defects and impurities in Cz-Si - related materials [1] are still intensively investigated.

In the presented work, Cz - Si samples prepared by implantation with hydrogen (Si:H) or oxygen (Si:O), and processed at up to 1400 K (HT) under enhanced hydrostatic pressure in argon atmosphere (HP, up to 1.2 GPa) have been investigated. It has been shown that the HT - HP treatment of implanted samples leads to the formation of nano - clusters. The nano - dimensional structure formation in the samples results in turn in essential changes of optical and spectral properties, being dependent on the HT - HP processing parameters.

The mechanism and nature of nano - dimensional structure formation in implanted single crystalline silicon, especially in Si:H, subjected to complex processing [2, 3], and the effects of HT – HP treatment on spectral characteristics of Si:H and Si:O are discussed. Usefulness of such materials for producing of sensors has been demonstrated.
