摘要
Electroluminescence (EL) and electrophysical characteristics of erbium and oxygen coimplanted and annealed p-n junctions, characterized by higher values of the Er3+-related EL intensity at similar to 1.54 mu m in the breakdown regime at 300 K as compared with that at 85 K, have been studied in the temperature range from 85 to 300 K. Hole traps in the Er-O codoped n layer were found to be responsible for the anomalous EL behavior. Er-related EL was observed in the same samples in avalanche breakdown at high temperatures and in tunnel breakdown at low temperatures. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
