Abstract

Silicon oxide films enriched by Ge in as-grown state was investigated after their thermal annealing at 800 °C. The dependences of photoluminescence (PL) peculiarities on the concentration of Ge and on the existence of Ge nano-crystallites in silicon oxide films were analyzed. It was found that annealing at 800 °C during 1h initiated a shift of the maximum of the PL band to a higher energy.
