Abstract

We have fabricated erbium- and oxygen-doped Si/SiGe waveguide diodes showing the characteristic 1.54 μm electroluminescence (EL) from incorporated Er3+ ions. All samples were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The EL from the polished end facet of the waveguide was measured with a confocal microscope revealing a spatially narrow emission. Additional annealing was not necessary to improve the luminescence characteristics. Only a weak temperature dependence is found for the EL intensity between 4 K and room temperature.
