Transport and electroluminescence mechanism in Au/(Si/SiO2)/P-Si film

O484; The samples of Au/(Si/SiO2)/p-Si structure were fabricated by using the R.F magnetron sputtering technique.Its carrier transport and electroluminescence mechanism were studied from the I-V curves and EL spectra by using the Configuration Coordinate as a theoretical model.The result indicates that there are two defect centers in SiO2 films.The electron in Au and the hole in p-Si went into SiO2 film by the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling model at a high bias voltage and recombined through these defect centers in SiO2 film.
