Abstract: We investigated the conditions for the generation of silicon luminescence centers (W-line, R-line and D1-band) by self-ion implantation and thermal annealing. Silicon substrates were implanted with Si ions at an energy of 300 keV to several doses ranging from 1014 cm-2 to 3×1015 cm-2 followed by a thermal annealing at various temperatures up to 900 °C. Luminescence centers and their spatial distributions were probed by measuring their photoluminescence spectra before and after sequential removal of top surface layers. It was found that the optimal annealing temperature for W-line is ~ 300 oC. The strongest R-line is observed in the sample with a dose of 1014 cm-2 and at an annealing temperature of 700 oC. The creation of D1-band requires a minimum dose of 3 × 1014 cm-2 and a minimum annealing temperature of 800 oC. Photoluminescence versus etch depth measurements show that within the range of studied doses for all samples, the W-line luminescence centers are distributed beyond twice the projected ion range (Rp), R-line centers are located slightly deeper than the Rp, and D1-band defects are distributed at about the same depth as Rp These results provide valuable information for the fabrication of silicon-based infrared light sources
