Y. Osaka et al., APPEARANCE OF QUASI-DIRECT OPTICAL-TRANSITION FROM SI NETWORK IN SIO2-DOPED SI FILMS, JPN J A P 2, 32(8B), 1993, pp. 120001148-120001149
We report the first observation of an efficient optical absorption in
the optical energy region 1.0 approximately 1.8 eV from the Si network
in SiO2-doped Si films. The SiO2-doped Si films were formed using the
rf magnetron sputtering technique. From electron paramagnetic resonan
ce measurements, the dangling bond density of unannealed samples was e
stimated to be 3 X 10(17) cm-3.
