Profile of optical constants of SiO2 thin films containing Si nanocrystals by Dong, Gui, Chen, Tupei, Liu, Yang, Tse, Man Siu, Fung, Stevenson Hon Yuen

“…In this work, an approach of the depth profiling for the thin film synthesized with ion implantation is developed. In this approach, the nc-Si depth distribution obtained from secondary ion mass spectroscopy measurement is modeled with the approximation of many sublayers, and for a given wavelength the optical constants of each sublayer are formulated with the nc-Si volume fraction in the sublayer and the nc-Si optical constants as variables based on the effective medium approximation. …”
