Light Emitting Porous Silicon

Abstract

After a review of the basic properties of porous silicon we describe the fabrication method we employed to produce visible light emission from silicon. The photo-luminescence spectra were recorded using a room-temperature spectrometer. Initial attempts producing electrically stimulated light emission are described. Two pressure experiments were carried out to unravel the origin of light emission in porous silicon
