Abstract
An analysis of the structure of as-deposited films of nonstoichiometric germanosilicate glasses and the transformation of their structure under annealing is carried out using the Raman spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. It is shown that the structure of the films is stable up to a temperature of 350 oC; under annealing beginning from 400 oC, amorphous germanium clusters are formed in the films. On the basis of these films, metal-insulator-semiconductor structures are fabricated, and prospects for their use in memristors and photodetectors are demonstrated.
