Abstract

Recent results contributing to our understanding of mechanisms of defect formation and excitation of Er luminescence in Si:Er system are presented. An essential role of non-equilibrium intrinsic point defects in Er-related defects formation for both implanted and in-diffused Si:Er structures is demonstrated.

The data of electroluminescence (EL) measurements evidence that the Er3+ excitation occurs via capture of free excitons on neutral Er-related donor centers with subsequent Augerrecombination of bound excitons.
