Abstract
- Greatly enhanced blue emission was observed at room temperature in the single-crystal silicon with HfO<subscript>2</subscript> filled into its microcavities. The broad blue band light was emitted from both the HfO<subscript>2</subscript> dielectric and the porous Si. The ferroelectricity of HfO<subscript>2</subscript> enhances the blue emission from Si by its filling into the microcaivities. At the same time, HfO<subscript>2</subscript> contributes to the light emission for the transitions of the defect levels for oxygen vacancy. The observation of greatly enhanced blue light emission of the porous Si filled with HfO<subscript>2</subscript> dielectric is remarkable as both HfO<subscript>2</subscript> and Si are highly compatible with Si-based electronic industry.
