Abstract

A high quantum efficiency for a porous silicon light emitting diode (LED) is demonstrated under pulsed operation. The LED is fabricated from a p+nn+ structure by anodic/hydrofluoric etching followed by deposition of a transparent gold contact. The LED shows a rectifying behavior and emits orange-red light under forward bias with a spectral width significantly narrower than the corresponding photoluminescence spectrum. By calibrated measurements, we here demonstrate electroluminescence external quantum efficiencies of ∼0.2% under pulsed operation corresponding to internal quantum efficiencies of a few percent.
