The phosphorus and boron co-doping behaviors at nanoscale in Si nanocrystals/SiO2 multilayers
2017
Phosphorus (P) and Boron (B) co-doping effects at the nanoscale in Si nanocrystals/SiO2 multilayers have been studied in the present work. Several interesting experimental results are achieved which are in contrast to the case in bulk-Si and the previous observations on the doped Si nanocrystals. It is found that all the co-doping samples are n-type regardless of B doping ratios. The P doping efficiency in Si NCs is higher than B dopants, and it can be improved via B co-doping with suitable levels. Raman and ESR spectra indicate that the different occupation preferences of P and B in Si NCs are responsible for the interesting co-doping behaviors. It looks like that the electronic structures and the physical properties of Si NCs can be modulated via the impurities co-doping approach.
