Popis: In this paper we explore the electrophysical and electroluminescence (EL) properties of thermally grown 350 nm thick SiO₂ layers co-implanted with Si⁺ and C⁺ ions. The implanting fluencies were chosen in such a way that the peak concentration of excess Si and C of 5-10 at.% were achieved. Effect of hydrogen plasma treatment on electroluminescent and durability of SiO₂ (Si,C) - Si-system is studied. Combined measurements of charge trapping and EL intensity as a function of the injected charge and current have been carried out with the aim of clarifying the mechanisms of electroluminescence. EL was demonstrated to have defect-related nature. Cross sections of both electron traps and hole traps were determined. EL quenching at a great levels of injected charge is associated with strong negative charge capture, following capture of positive charge leading to electrical breakdown of SiO₂ structures.
