Аннотация:The results of the synthesis of nanoclusters of metallic zinc and its oxide in Si3N4 film on Si substrate implanted by 64Zn+ ions with a dose of 5×1016/cm2 and energy of 40keV and, than annealed in oxygen atmosphere (in air) with a step of 100°C for 1 h at each step in the temperature range of 400-800°C are presented. Scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and photoluminescence were used for the study. It was found that after implantation, individual nanoclusters (NCs) of metallic zinc less than 1 µm in size were fixed on the surface and in the near-surface layer of Si3N4 film. It has been established that, during annealing, the sample undergoes a transition from the phase of metallic Zn to the phases of its oxide ZnO and silicide Zn2SiO4. After annealing at 700°C, which is the most optimal for obtaining the ZnO phase, zinc oxide NCs with a size of less than 500nm are formed in the Si3N4 film. In this case, a PL peak at a wavelength nerby 370 nm is formed in the PL spectrum due to exciton luminescence in zinc oxide. After annealing at 800°C, the ZnO phase degrades and the zinc silicide phase Zn2SiO4 is formed.
