Objectives: The present review work shows a detailed study of the optical and structural characteristics of SiOx films using different deposit techniques, among which employing the technique of Chemical Deposit in Vapor Phase by Hot Filament (HFCVD), it was possible to obtain a thin film without annealing and that presents an intense emission of photoluminescence.
Methodology: A review of the optical and structural characteristics of SiOx films obtained using the most popular techniques, such as: PECVD, LPCVD, and magnetron sputtering, against the HFCVD technique and the control of process parameters that improve the thickness and emission of photoluminescence.
Contribution: How to obtain, adjust or optimize photoluminescence in the visible electromagnetic spectrum of SiOx without thermal annealing, where a strong emission is obtained in the red of the visible electromagnetic spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
