Ls. Liao et al., VISIBLE ELECTROLUMINESCENCE FROM SI-IMPLANTED SIO2-FILMS THERMALLY GROWN ON CRYSTALLINE SI(), Solid state communications, 97(12), 1996, pp. 1039-1042
Thermally grown SiO2 films on p-type crystalline Si wafers were implan
ted with Si+, and metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures were
fabricated with a semitransparent Au layer on the top of the SiO2 film
s. The MIS structures exhibit electroluminescence (EL) under forward b
ias. The EL spectrum has a main peak at similar to 2.0 eV and a should
er at similar to 1.7 eV, which is similar to the photoluminescence of
the same implanted SiO2 films. The EL mechanism is also discussed.
