Abstract

Porous silicon (PSi) was doped by Er using electromigration from a solution and converted to Er-doped silicon-rich silicon oxide (SRSO:Er) by partial thermal oxidation at 600-950°C following densification at 1100°C in an inert atmosphere. Room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) at ≈1.5 μm is intense and decreases by less than 20% from 12 K to 300 K. The PL spectrum of SRSO:Er reveals no luminescence bands related to Si-band-edge - recombination, point defects or dislocations, and shows that the Er³⁺ centers are the most efficient radiative recombination centers. A light-emitting diode (LED) with an active layer made of SRSO:Er was manufactured using a pre-oxidation cleaning step to increase the quality of the interface between SRSO:Er and the top electrode. Room temperature electroluminescence at ≈1.5 μm was demonstrated.
