Structural factors impacting carrier transport and electroluminescence from Si nanocluster-sensitized Er ions.
We present an analysis of factors influencing carrier transport and electroluminescence (EL) at 1.5 µm from erbium-doped silicon-rich silica (SiOx) layers. The effects of both the active layer thickness and the Si-excess content on the electrical excitation of erbium are studied. We demonstrate that when the thickness is decreased from a few hundred to tens of nanometers the conductivity is gre...
متن کاملLight Emission and Slot Waveguide Effect in Er-doped SiO2/Si nanocrystalline Multilayer Structures
In this thesis, Er doped SiO2/nc-Si multilayer structure a promising material for on-chip silicon light emission devices, is studied in detail. It is demonstrated, for the first time, that infrared Er emission could be enhanced by an Er doped SiO2/nc-Si multilayer structure. It is also determined that energy transfer from nc-Si to nearby Er ions, is responsible for this emission enhancement. Th...
متن کاملTowards an Er-doped Si Nanocrystal Sensitized Waveguide Laser – the Thin Line between Gain and Loss
Important progress is being made in the development of a Si based waveguide laser operating at 1.5 μm. The gain medium responsible for the recent progress is Er-doped Si nanocrystal co-doped SiO2, a composite material that can potentially be fabricated using a VLSI compatible process. The material combines the broad absorption spectrum of Si nanocrystals with the efficient narrow linewidth emis...
متن کاملSi⁺-implanted Si-wire waveguide photodetectors for the mid-infrared.
CMOS-compatible Si⁺-implanted Si-waveguide p-i-n photodetectors operating at room temperature and at mid-infrared wavelengths from 2.2 to 2.3 µm are demonstrated. Responsivities of 9.9 ± 2.0 mA/W are measured at a 5 V reverse bias with an estimated internal quantum efficiency of 2.7 - 4.5%. The dark current is found to vary from a few microamps down to less than a nanoamp after a post-implantat...
متن کاملCharacterization of Er in porous Si
The fabrication of porous Si-based Er-doped light-emitting devices is a very promising developing field for all-silicon light emitters. However, while luminescence of Er-doped porous silicon devices has been demonstrated, very little attention has been devoted to the doping process itself. We have undertaken a detailed study of this process, examining the porous silicon matrix from several poin...
