摘要
We report the first observation of near-infrared electroluminescence (EL) in ErYb silicate based metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) light-emitting device. The ErYb silicate thin film and the device were fabricated on silicon substrate using the standard silicon technology. The EL spectrum at 1.53 mu m was observed under a current density of 1.2 mA/cm(2). The conduction mechanism of the device was Fowler-Nordheim tunneling and the EL mechanism was attributed to the direct impact excitation of Er ions by the hot electrons produced by the high electric field in the silicate layer.
