Silicon light-emitting diodes with luminescence associated with (113) defects have been fabricated using implantation of 350 keV oxygen ions at the dose of 3.7∙1014 cm-2 and subsequent annealing at 700ᵒC for 1 h in a chlorine-containing atmosphere. Electroluminescence was studied in wide ranges of temperature and an excitation power. The line associated with (113) defects dominates in all the spectra. The temperature dependence of the line intensity depends on the excitation power in the range of low temperatures: an increase of the intensity with activation energy of 25 meV is observed at low current density and, with the increasing current density, a rise of the intensity is not observed. At higher temperatures, a decrease of the intensity with activation energy of 59 meV occurs regardless of a current density. With the increasing temperature, the peak of the line shifts by the same energy as the forbidden gap width, while the half width of the line grows linearly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
