Enhanced Room-Temperature 1.6 μm Electroluminescence from Si-Based Double Heterostructures Light-Emitting Diodes using Iron Disilicide

Silicon photonics has attracted considerable attention inrecent years. One of the most important components basedon Si photonics is a silicon-based light emitter. Extensivestudies have been carried out on Si-based light-emittingmaterials such as SiGe, porous Si, nanocrystalline Si,erbium-doped Si, and others.
