Abstract

Silicon ions were implanted into SiO2 thin films with various doses and energies. For the films implanted with various ion doses the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of 470nm firstly increased with the increase of Si ion dose, which is similar to the variation trend of displacement per atom (DPA) number during ion radiation. Further increasing Si ion dose the PL intensity of 470nm decreased gradually since the neutral oxygen vacancy centers were destroyed. For the samples implanted with different energy the variation trend of PL intensity for 470nm peak is similar to the result of DPA under different radiation energy according to SRIM2006 simulation. With the increase of radiation energy a new PL peak at 550nm appeared because of the variation of defect type. Combining with the simulation results and PL spectra the radiation effect on Si/SiO2 thin films were proposed.
