Abstrakt: The influence of hydrostatic pressure on photoluminescence of SiO[sub x]N[sub y] (x = 0.25 and y = 1) films grown on the Si substrates and implanted with Ge[sub +] ions, with pressure applied during annealing of the films, was studied for the first time. It is shown that hydrostatic compression leads to a tenfold increase in the photoluminescence intensity of the implanted SiO[sub x]N[sub y] films compared to that obtained as a result of postimplantation annealings at atmospheric pressure. The observed increase in the photoluminescence intensity is attributed to accelerated formation of radiative-recombination centers in the metastable-phase zones in the implanted silicon oxynitride. These centers are tentatively related to ≡Si-Si≡ centers and to complexes involving Ge atoms (of ≡Si-Ge≡ and ≡Ge-Ge≡ types). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
