Photoluminescence of erbium in amorphous silicon

  • 1. FOM Inst. for Atomic and Molecular Physics, 1098 SJ Amsterdam (Netherlands)

Description

This paper reports on photoluminescence of erbium in ion-implanted amorphous Si has been observed after annealing at 400 degrees C. In addition, a broad band of luminescence attributed to intrinsic defects in amorphous Si is present. The background level steadily increases with increasing anneal temperature. The fluorescence lifetimes of either the Er or the background in all samples are ≤150 μsec
