Abstract

The effect of a thin film of aluminum on morphology and change in the characteristics of p-type silicon crystals was investigated in the work. It is established that a sprayed metallic film receives the nanosized complexes from the inner part of the crystal to the surface. These defects are effective centers of dislocation-related electroluminescence of structures based on p-Si. Additional elastic deformation (for several hours) of silicon leads to an increase in their concentration. This can be used to increase the efficiency of the luminescence of silicon monocrystals in the infrared region.
