摘要
Light emitting diodes (LED), continuously operable at room temperature, have been fabricated by Si (+) ion implantation into SiO2 and subsequent annealing in order to form Si nanocrystals. A highly doped poly-Si layer was used to enhance injection into nanocrystals. Visible electroluminescence (EL) was observed from the LEDs with oxide thickness less than or equal to 180 Angstrom for bias voltages above 8 V. The EL decay transient was similar to stretched-exponential decays observed for photoluminescence (PL) from Si nanocrystals. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
