چکیده

Shockley-Read-Hall recombination kinetics has been applied to explain the luminescence mechanism of erbium luminescence in silicon. Erbium atoms in silicon have been considered as recombination centers with specific values of capture and emission coefficients. Electron-hole recombination through these levels has been considered to be the origin of erbium excitation. Equating the capture and emission processes of photo generated excess carriers in the erbium related level, luminescence profiles during rise-time and fall-time has been calculated. The extended rise of erbium luminescence after termination of short excitation pulses of micro second durations has been explained by the model. Key-words: Silicon, Luminescence, Erbium, excitation, Recombination.

Temperature dependence of sensitized Er3+ luminescence in silicon-rich oxynitride films

The temperature dependence of sensitized Er(3+) emission via localized states and silicon nanoclusters has been studied to get an insight into the excitation and de-excitation processes in silicon-rich oxynitride films. The thermal quenching of Er(3+) luminescence is elucidated by terms of decay time and effective excitation cross section. The temperature quenching of Er(3+) decay time demonstr...

Study of thermal treated a-Si implanted with Er and O ions

Visible luminescence of amorphous silicon layers either implanted with Er or co-implanted with Er and O and subsequently annealed in nitrogen has been investigated by cathodoluminescence (CL) in a scanning electron microscope. Co-implanted samples show a more intense luminescence, which is revealed by annealing at lower temperatures than the samples implanted only with erbium. Thermal treatment...

Evolution of the sensitized Er3+ emission by silicon nanoclusters and luminescence centers in silicon-rich silica

The structural and optical properties of erbium-doped silicon-rich silica samples containing different Si concentrations are studied. Intense photoluminescence (PL) from luminescence centers (LCs) and silicon nanoclusters (Si NCs), which evolves with annealing temperatures, is obtained. By modulating the silicon concentrations in samples, the main sensitizers of Er(3+) ions can be tuned from Si...

The modulation on luminescence of Er3+-doped silicon-rich oxide films by the structure evolution of silicon nanoclusters

A series of silicon-rich oxide (SRO) and erbium-doped SRO (SROEr) films imbedded with structural tunable silicon nanoclusters (Si NCs) have been fabricated using sputtering followed by post-annealing. The coalescence of Si NCs is found in the films with large Si excess. The energy transfer rate between Si NCs and Er3+ is enhanced, but the luminescence efficiencies of both Si NCs and Er3+ are re...
