Abstract
With HfON filling the holes in porous silicon (PS), films with improved photoluminescence (PL) at roomtemperature were prepared. A strong blue peak at 425 nm and a red peak at 690 nm were observed in PL spectra. It is believed that the quantum-limited effect (QLE) and the polycrystalline structure of HfON is responsible forthe observed PL peaks. The stoichiometric proportion of N/O in the HfON layer has also a great influence on theintensity of blue light emission. Finally, the temperature quenching effect was observed to be greatly weakened forthe incorporation of HfON.-
