摘要：

Sharp, strong luminescence has been obtained from erbium in silicon-germanium quantum well structures. The quantum well layers were implanted with erbium, followed by amorphisation using a silicon implant at 77K. The structures were then recrystallised by solid phase epitaxial regrowth at 550 degrees C. Compared with bulk silicon systems, stronger erbium activity was observed in the quantum well host.
