摘要
Er-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-SiEr:H) thin films were deposited by cosputtering. After deposition, the samples were submitted to annealing treatments employing Ar+ and Nd-YAG lasers. Thermal anneals in a temperature-controlled furnace were also performed for comparison purposes. Photoluminescence, optical absorption in the infrared energy region, and Raman spectroscopies were carried out after each annealing treatment. Based on the experimental data, some mechanisms associated with the different annealing procedures and Er3+ ion excitation are proposed and discussed. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
