摘要
The optically active carbon related G-center is attracting great interest because of evidence that it can provide lasing in silicon. Here a technique to form the G-center in silicon is reported. The carbon G-center is generated by implantation of carbon followed by proton irradiation. Photoluminescence measurements confirm the controlled formation of high levels of the G-center that, importantly, completely dominates the emission spectrum. Unlike previous methods of introducing the G-center the current approach significantly is truly fully compatible with standard silicon ULSI (ultralarge scale integration) technology.
