Abstract

As the ultra-violet/blue luminescent material, we will introduce the thermal treated cerium oxide on silicon. It has been confirmed a violet/blue luminescence ranging from 358 nm to 450 nm at room temperature from the thermally treated cerium-dioxide thin films on silicon. As a results of AES and HR-TEM measurement, it was confirmed that cerium silicates were generated by thermal treatment. These cerium silicates such as Ce4.667(SiO4)3O and Ce2Si2O7 are the source of the ultraviolet (UV) emission ranging from 358 nm to 450 nm (maximum at 388 nm).
