ABSTRACTThe luminescence in red-emitting porous silicon exhibits a distribution of lifetimes in the μsec time domain at room temperature and in the msec time domain at cryogenic temperatures. However, the luminescence and carrier dynamics in porous silicon display transients that vary from much less than 1 psec to ∼ 1 sec, depending on the measurement conditions and sample preparation. We have investigated the carrier dynamics in porous silicon by two time-resolved techniques. The blue photoluminescence of oxidized porous silicon has been measured with 100 ps time resolution as a function of the oxidation method, emission wavelength, excitation intensity and measurement temperature. The blue luminescence has a distinct origin from the well-studied red luminescence and we attribute it to defects in the oxide. Femtosecond photoinduced absorption measurements have been performed on thin red-emitting porous silicon films. The wavelength and intensity dependence of the recovery are interpreted in terms of trapping and of Auger recombination at high excitation intensity. Our results also show conclusively that red-emitting porous silicon is not a direct gap semiconductor.

AbstractThe optical properties of oxidized free-standing porous silicon films excited by a cw laser have been investigated. It is found that samples oxidized at 800–950 °C show a strongly superlinear light emission at an excitation intensity of ∼10 W/cm2. This emission has a peak at 900–1100 nm and shows a blueshift as the oxidation temperature is increased. These samples also show a very large induced absorption, where the transmittance is found to decrease reversibly by ≤99.7 %.The induced absorption increases linearly with increasing pump laser intensity. Both the superlinear emission and the large induced absorption are quenched when the samples are attached to materials with a higher thermal conductivity, suggesting that laser-induced thermal effects are responsible for these phenomena.
