Light‐emitting silicon systems are of interest both scientifically and technologically. Luminescence can arise either from silicon structures or from siloxene‐like systems. The formation of photoluminescent siloxenes by spontaneous decomposition of silanes in the channels of aluminum oxide membranes is reported, which opens up simple novel routes to stable light‐emitting systems. The advantages of using nanoporous aluminum oxide membranes are discussed, the presence of siloxene layers on the pore surfaces is proved, and the photoluminescence data are presented.
