Description

Photoluminescence in neighbourhood of 1.54 μm due to 4I13/2-4I15/2 intra-4f-shell transmission of Er3+ ions in 6H SiC is studied. Effects of oxygen coimplantation is also investigated. No difference in the photoluminescence spectra of Er only and Er+O implanted SiC was found. It is concluded that the emission around 1.54 μm in SiC:Er originates from erbium-oxygen complexes, which are formed as a result of thermal annealing. (author)
