Abstract

Aging behavior of red, green, and blue photoluminescence from porous silicon formed by electrochemical etching aided with zinc has been studied over a 3 month time span. Time-resolved photoluminescence spectra and decay dynamics have revealed that there are two radiating states in Zn-aided porous silicon. One is the quantum confinement and the other is the oxygen-related defect. For green emission, the wavelength shifts from 520 to 420 nm and its photoluminescence spectra and decay behavior become very similar to those of blue emission.
