Luminescence at an energy higher than the Si band-gap energy has been observed following H implantation and annealing treatments of Si samples. This phenomenon is discussed considering the damage caused by the H implantation and its evolution with thermal treatments. No definitive answer on the origin of the luminescence is given but various possible models are proposed.
