Abstract
Terahertz (THz) electroluminescence was produced by three different types of sources: intersubband transitions in silicon germanium quantum wells, resonant state transitions in boron-doped strained silicon germanium layers, and hydrogenic transitions from dopant atoms in silicon. The devices were grown by molecular beam epitaxy, fabricated by dry etching, and characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The absorption of THz was observed in silicon germanium quantum wells at energies corresponding to heavy hole and light hole intersubband transitions. These results suggest that SiGe nanotechnology is attractive for THz device applications.
