Abstract: | We have studied the optical properties of compound semiconductor quantum dots (CSQDs) embedded in Si. Both photoluminescence and electroluminescence spectra were found to be associated with an inhomogeneously broadened band in the near-infrared. A long decay lifetime of luminescence was observed, which is in support of an indirect transition in both k- and real-space. Strong localization of electron–hole pairs was found to occur due to a deep potential well created by the built-in electric dipole at the III–V/Si interface. A Si-based light-emitting diode with GaSb-CSQDs in the active layer showed a high value of quantum efficiency. Light amplification was also observed under pulsed laser excitation. |
