Notes:
In this article we will give an overview of our work devoted to Si-based light emissionwhich was done in the last years. Si-based light emitters were fabricated by ion implantation of rareearth elements into the oxide layer of a conventional MOS structure. Efficient electroluminescencewas obtained for the wavelength range from UV to the visible by using a transparent top electrodemade of indium-tin oxide. In the case of Tb-implantation the best devices reach an externalquantum efficiency of 16 % which corresponds to a power efficiency in the order of 0.3 %. Theproperties of the microstructure, the IV characteristics and the electroluminescence spectra wereevaluated. The electroluminescence was found to be caused by hot electron impact excitation ofrare earth ions, and the electric phenomena of charge transport, luminescence centre excitation,quenching and degradation are explained in detail
