Annual Report of U.S. Airforce Sponsered Project FA4869-06-01-0065 AOARD 064071 A CO2 laser rapid-thermal-annealing SiOx based metal-oxide-semiconductor light emitting diode
نویسنده
چکیده
Structural damage enhanced near-infrared electroluminescence (EL) of a metal-oxide-semiconductor light emitting diode (MOSLED) made on SiOx film with buried nanocrystallite Si after CO2 laser rapid-thermal-annealing (RTA) at an optimized intensity of 6 kW/cm for 1 ms is demonstrated. CO2 laser RTA induced oxygen-related defects are capable of improving Fowler-Nordheim tunneling mechanism of carriers at metal/SiOx interface. The CO2 laser RTA SiOx film reduces Fowler-Nordheim tunneling threshold to 1.8 MV/cm, facilitating an enhanced EL power of an ITO/ SiOx/p-Si/Al MOSLED up to 50 nW at a current density of 2.3 mA/cm.

Background: Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit very unique physiochemical and optical properties, which now are extensively studied in a range of medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. AuNPs can be used for cancer clinical treatment with minimal invasion. On the other hand, curcumin is a polyphenol derived from turmeric which is used for medical purposes due to its anti...
متن کاملPoint defect engineered Si sub-bandgap light-emitting diode.
We present a novel approach to enhance light emission in Si and demonstrate a sub-bandgap light emitting diode based on the introduction of point defects that enhance the radiative recombination rate. Ion implantation, pulsed laser melting and rapid thermal annealing were used to create a diode containing a self-interstitial-rich optically active region from which the zero-phonon emission line ...

We investigate the PL characteristics of the equivalent-size controlled Si-QDs by employing the nano-porous AAO membrane as the template for growing Si-rich SiOx nano-rods to achieve the spatially confined synthesis of Si-QD. The ultra-bright PL can be emitted from the SiOx nano-rod in nano-porous AAO membrane. In addition, we preliminarily demonstrate the in-situ high-temperature synthesis of ...
متن کاملImproving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
