摘要:
A light emitting device using a silicon (Si) nanocrystalline Si insulating film is presented with an associated fabrication method. The method provides a doped semiconductor or metal bottom electrode. Using a high density plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (HDPECVD) process, a Si insulator film is deposited overlying the semiconductor electrode, having a thickness in a range of 30 to 200 nanometers (nm). For example, the film may be SiOx, where X is less than 2, Si3Nx, where X is less than 4, or SiCx, where X is less than 1. The Si insulating film is annealed, and as a result, Si nanocrystals are formed in the film. Then, a transparent metal electrode is formed overlying the Si insulator film. An annealed Si nanocrystalline SiOx film has a turn-on voltage of less than 20 volts, as defined with respect to a surface emission power of greater than 0.03 watt per square meter.

摘要:
A method is provided for forming a silicon (Si) nanocrystal embedded Si oxide electroluminescence (EL) device with a mid-bandgap transition layer. The method provides a highly doped Si bottom electrode, and forms a mid-bandgap electrically insulating dielectric film overlying the electrode. A Si nanocrystal embedded SiOx film layer is formed overlying the mid-bandgap electrically insulating dielectric film, where X is less than 2, and a transparent top electrode overlies the Si nanocrystal embedded SiOx film layer. The bandgap of the mid-bandgap dielectric film is about half that of the bandgap of the Si nanocrystal embedded SiOx film. In one aspect, the Si nanocrystal embedded SiOx film has a bandgap (Eg) of about 10 electronvolts (eV) and mid-bandgap electrically insulating dielectric film has a bandgap of about 5 eV. By dividing the high-energy tunneling processes into two lower energy tunneling steps, potential damage due to high power hot electrons is reduced.
