摘要
Photoluminescence properties of oxidized porous silicon (PS) have been studied. Time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements probed by tunable-excitation over the photon energy range 3.68-1.94 eV for temperatures of 20 K and room temperature show two emission bands, a high energy band (HEB) in the blue and a low energy band (LEE) in the red. The origin of the HEB PL is identified as oxygen-induced defect states with a broad distribution of 2.5 +/- 0.3 eV. These oxygen-induced defect states act as radiative recombination centers into which selective excitation of carriers results in the pronounced enhancement of the PL with the decay time of 5-6 ns. The LEE with the decay time of microsecond order is located around 2.1-2.0 eV and is similar to photoluminescence observed in amorphous materials characterized by carrier recombination via band-tail states.
