Abstract

A light emitting device structure based on Si/SiO2/LD Si/SI 3N4/Si system was proposed. The low dimensional Si was shown to govern the photon generation efficiency and the energy spectrum. The asymmetry barrier heights formed by the SiO2 and Si3N 4 were found to provide high efficiency carrier injection based on direct tunnelling and maximize the recombination event taking place in the LD Si region. Quantum calculations on the charge transports, including the direct tunnelling carrier injection at the Si/Si2 interface and band-to-band recombination of in LD Si were also conducted.
