On the Route towards Efficient Light Emitting Diodes Based on Porous Silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present our recent progresses towards effkient light emitting diodes based on porous silicon. We will touch the two following topics: 1) All porous silicon microcavities. Through the formation of a planar optical cavity it is possible to vary the spontaneous emission rate of porous silicon films. We demonstrate this by showing luminescence, and time resolved luminescence measurements performed on all porous silicon periodic and random microcavities. 2) Light emitting diodes based on n-type doped silicon/porous silicon heterojunctions. Exploiting the selectivity of the porous silicon formation process we formed light emitting diodes with superior performance with respect to metal/porous silicon devices. The use of these diodes as gas sensors is also investigated.

In this research, the lifetime of green organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is studied using four passivation layers. To encapsulate the OLEDs, MgF2, YF3, composed of alternating MgF2/ZnS and YF3/ZnS layers were grown by thermal vacuum deposition. Measurements show that the device lifetime is significantly improved by using YF3 and ZnS as passivation layers. However, diodes encapsulated by Mg...

We report on the electrical and optical characteristics of silicon light-emitting pn diodes. The diodes are prepared by ion implantation of boron at high doses and subsequent hightemperature annealing. Under forward bias, the diodes emit infrared electroluminescence closely below the band gap of bulk Si. We present a rate-equation model for bound excitons, free excitons and free carriers which ...
