Enhancement of the blue photoluminescence intensity for the porous silicon with HfO2 filling into microcavities
نویسندگان
چکیده
With HfO2 filled into the microcavities of the porous single-crystal silicon, the blue photoluminescence was greatly enhanced at room temperature. On one hand, HfO2 contributes to the light emission with the transitions of the defect levels for oxygen vacancy. On the other hand, the special filling-into-microcavities structure of HfO2 leads to the presence of ferroelectricity, which greatly enhances the blue emission from porous silicon. Since both HfO2 and Si are highly compatible with Si-based electronic industry, combined the low-cost and convenient process, the HfO2-filled porous Si shows a promising application prospect.

Enhancement of the Spontaneous Emission Rates in All Porous Silicon Optical Microcavities
The emission properties of a porous silicon layer placed in an optical microcavity is investigated by photoluminescence and time resolved photoluminescence measurements. The microcavity is formed by an all porous silicon Fabry-Perot filter made by two distributed Bragg reflectors separated by a h or h/2 porous silicon layer. Our main findings are that the spontaneous emission spectrum is drasti...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence Properties of LaF3-Coated Porous Silicon
This work reports the coating of porous silicon (PS) with LaF3 and its influence on the photoluminescence (PL) property of PS. PS samples, prepared by electrochemical etching in a solution of HF and ethanol, were coated with e-beam evaporated-LaF3 of different thicknesses. It was observed that the thin LaF3 layer on PS led to a good enhancement of PL yield of PS. But with the increasing thickne...
متن کاملNarrow-line light emission from porous silicon multilayers and microcavities
Porous silicon multilayers and microcavities, prepared by the pulsed electrochemical etching method, exhibit a variety of reflectivity and photoluminescence spectra. A comparison of the measured results with those calculated based on the transfer matrix method and quantum-box model reveals that the variation of the spectra can be attributed to the change in wavelength position of the stop-band ...
متن کاملPorous silicon microcavities: synthesis, characterization, and application to photonic barcode devices
We have recently developed a new type of porous silicon we name as porous silicon colloids. They consist of almost perfect spherical silicon nanoparticles with a very smooth surface, able to scatter (and also trap) light very efficiently in a large-span frequency range. Porous silicon colloids have unique properties because of the following: (a) they behave as optical microcavities with a high ...
متن کاملImproved photoluminescence and sensing stability of porous silicon nanowires by surface passivation.
Core-shell structured silicon nanowires (Si NWs) were obtained by coating Si NWs with an HfO2 layer. Enhanced photoluminescence (PL) and a slightly decreased PL lifetime are achieved by HfO2 coating. Furthermore, the sensing stability is strongly improved. The improvement of PL properties is interpreted in terms of surface passivation and the Purcell effect.
