Abstract

The photoluminescence (PL) in silicon-rich a-SiNx:H films was studied. It was found that the PL energy shifts to a higher energy as x increases. Time-resolved PL and nanosecond-order PL decay measurements indicate that the photogenerated carriers in the band-tail states recombine first through an exciton-like mechanism and then through a radiative tunneling mechanism as in the cases of near-stoichiometric and nitrogen-rich a-SiNx:H films.
