In this thesis we have shown that one can synthesize silicon nanocrystals by using square- wave-modulated plasmas in silane-hydrogen gas mixtures. In our experimental conditions, by varying the growth time, we could control the size of silicon nanocrystals (from 4 nm to 12 nm). By measuring the size of the nanocrystals by transmission electron microscopy, we could calculate their radial growth rate. This later is proportional to the silane partial pressure in the gas mixture. By studying two types of plasmas, we have demonstrated the important role of atomic hydrogen for the obtaining of crystallized of nanoparticles. The precise control of size of the silicon nanocrystals has opened two fields of applications: (i) the fabrication of light ...
