Silicon (Si) nanocrystals embedded in Si oxide matrix have been formed by rapid thermal annealing of sub-stoichiometric Si oxide films (SiOx with x < 2). The SiOx films were deposited by co-sputtering of Si oxide and Si target using magnetron RF sputtering technique. The Si-to-SiO2 ratio was cont...
