Silicon-Based Optoelectronics: Progress and Challenges

Authors: TAMIM P. SIDIKI, CLIVIA M. SOTOMAYOR TORRES

Abstract: We review the status of silicon-based optoelectronics with emphasis on light emitting diodes. Erbium-doped Si, por-Si and silicon-based superlattices and nanostructures are discussed. The origin behind light emission in silicon with feature sizes below about 60 nm still remains poorly understood.
