摘要
We report a field-effect approach to enhance the electroluminescence (EL) from a model Si nanocrystal light-emitting device (Si-NC LED). The field effects are established within the carrier injection regions of the LEDs via introducing an i-type Si layer on the top of active layer and an Al2O3 layer between the active layer and the Si substrate. The fields are consistent in polarity with the forwardly biased electric field within the LEDs. One order of magnitude increases in the EL intensity from Si-NC LED are readily achieved after introducing the field effects. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
