Abstract

Amorphous Si:C:O:H films were fabricated at low temperature by C2F6 and O2/C2F6 plasma treating silicone oil liquid. The a-Si:C:O:H films fabricated by C2F6 plasma treatment exhibited white photoluminescence at room temperature, while that by O2/C2F6 plasma treatment exhibited blue photoluminescence. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy studies showed that the sp3 and sp2 hybridized carbons, SiC bond, SiO bond and carbon-related defects in a-Si:C:O:H films correlated with photoluminescence. It is suggested that the blue emission at 469nm was related to the sp3 and sp2 hybridized carbons, SiC bond, carbon dangling bonds as well as SiO short chains and small clusters, while the light emitting at 554nm was related to the carbon-related defects.
