Abstract:
The photoluminescence spectra of light-emitting structures based on silicon doped with erbium during the course of molecular-beam epitaxy at a temperature of 500°C are studied at 4.2 K on being annealed at 800–900°C. Three sets of lines belonging to the emitting centers of erbium in silicon with a low oxygen-impurity concentration are revealed.
