Si-rich SiO 2 films with three different degrees of Si-richness were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering using Si–SiO 2 composite targets. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements indicate that Si clusters were present in the as-deposited films. The precipitation and crystallization of nanometer Si clusters in SiO 2 films annealed at high temperatures have been studied...
