Abstract
Superlattices based on wide-bandgap hydrogenated amorphous silicon bas ed alloys were studied in terms of optical absorption and photolumines cence properties. A critical comparison between a-Si1-xNx:H/a-Si3N4:H and a-Si1-xCx:H/a-SiC:H multilayers was made, revealing the former as a promising structure for electroluminescent devices in the visible ra nge. As evidence of this potentiality, a light-emitting device was rea lized using an a-Si1-xNx:H/a-Si3N4:H multilayer as the radiative eleme nt.
