Abstract

Results of a photoluminescence excitation (PLE) study of Er-implanted porous Si (Er:PSi) are presented. Erbium was implanted at a dose of 1×1015 Er/cm2 at 380 keV and annealed for 30 minutes at 650°C. We observed a nearly identical PLE intensity behavior from 1.54 μm and visible-emitting Er:PSi. This observation indicates that both visible and infrared photoluminescence (PL) arise from carrier mediated processes, and that the 1.54 μm Er+ PL is related to the porous Si nanostructures. Measurements of the temperature dependence (15-375 K) of Er3+ PL intensity and lifetime are also reported.
