Effect of hydrogen radiofrequency plasma and chemical treatment on photoluminescence (PL) spectra of SiOx layers containing Si nanoparticles are investigated. Considerable PL intensity growth in the samples containing Si nanocrystals (nc-Si-SiOx) after plasma treatment is observed. The process saturates for time of 15 minutes. Chemical treatment in ammonia and acetone vapour before thermal annealing of SiOx layers leads to the considerable changes in PL spectra effecting both on the band shape and on the intensity. The possibility of controlled changes in PL spectra in nc-Si-SiO₂ layers is shown.
