Diffusion mechanism and photoluminescence of erbium in GaN
2003
Abstract Erbium has been diffused into GaN for the first time. A weak spontaneous emission is observed in the photoluminescence spectra after the diffusion process during 168 h at 800 °C under N 2 atmosphere. The diffusion coefficient of erbium in GaN is obtained in Arrenhius expression to be D=1.8±1.3×10 −12 exp (−1±0.4 eV /kT) cm 2 /s. The result shows that the Er diffusion mechanism might be an interstitial-assisted process. The luminescence characteristics of the Er-diffused GaN is compared with the Er-implanted GaN. The methods to enhance the emission intensity of the Er-diffused GaN are discussed.
