MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

First results on light emitting diodes in porous silicon were reported in 1991. They showed a quantum efficiency of 10−7 to 10−5 and an orange spectrum. Over the last year some progress was achieved:

  1. —

    By applying UV–light during the etching blue and green light emitting diodes in porous silicon are fabricated.

  2. —

    When a p/n junction is realized within the porous region, a quantum efficiency of 10−4 is obtained.
