[23a-C101-7] PL properties in SiO2/β-FeSi2/SiO2 stacked structures
Keywords:beta-FeSi2, silicide semiconductor
β-FeSi2 is expected to be a new material for optical communication wavelengths. However, its PL strength disappears at high temperatures. One of the reasons for this is the small valence band offset at the β-FeSi2/Si hetero-interface, which results in weak hole confinement. On the other hand, strong hole confinement is expected in β-FeSi2/SiO2. In this study, we report on the fabrication of SiO2/β-FeSi2 stacked structures and their 1.5 μm emission.
