We have obtained Er-doped ZnO thin film in a micropattern of reverse trapezoids processed on Si substrate by sputtering and ultrafine polishing techniques. Near-infrared light emission was detected successfully from the thin film filling a single micropit with 10 μm square. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation showed epitaxial growth of ZnO crystals along the curvature of the micropit.

AbstractThe photoluminescent properties of erbium doped silicon rich silicon oxide (SRSO) is investigated. The silicon content of SRSO was varied from 43 to 33 at. % and Er concentration was 0.4–0.7 at. % in all cases. We observe strong 1.54 μ m luminescence due to 4I13/2⇒4I15/2 Er3+ 4f transition, excited via energy transfer from carrier recombination in silicon nanoclusters to Er 4f shells. The luminescent lifetimes at the room temperature are found to be 4–7 msec, which is longer than that reported from Er in any semiconducting host material, and comparable to that of Er doped SiO2 and A12O3. The dependence of the Er3+ luminescent intensities and lifetimes on temperature, pump power and on background illumination shows that by using SRSO, almost all non-radiative decay paths of excited Er3+ can be effectively suppressed, and that such suppression is more important than increasing excitation rate of Er3+. A planar waveguide using Er doped SRSO is also demonstrated.

AbstractSilicon-rich silicon oxide (SRSO) films were prepared by thermal oxidation (700°C-950°C) of electrochemically etched crystalline silicon (c-Si). The annealing-oxidation conditions are responsible for the chemical and structural modification of SRSO as well as for the intrinsic light-emission in the visible and near infra-red spectral regions (2.0–1.8 eV, 1.6 eV and 1.1 eV). The extrinsic photoluminescence (PL) is produced by doping (via electroplating or ion implantation) with rare-earth (R-E) ions (Nd at 1.06 μm, Er at 1.5 μm) and chalcogens (S at ∼1.6 μm). The impurities can be localized within the Si grains (S), in the SiO matrix (Nd, Er) or at the Si-SiO interface (Er). The Er-related PL in SRSO was studied in detail: the maximum PL external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.01–0.1% was found in samples annealed at 900°C in diluted oxygen (∼ 10% in N2). The integrated PL temperature dependence is weak from 12K to 300K. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) with an active layer made of an intrinsic and doped SRSO are manufactured and studied: room temperature electroluminescence (EL) from the visible to 1.6 μmhas been demonstrated.
