Abstract :
While numerous luminescence effects have been reported for Si-based materials, with few exceptions the efficiencies have been extremely low. Recent breakthroughs in this area such as the observation of strong, room temperature visible emission from porous Si have stimulated research on light emission from column IV materials. This paper reviews some of the accomplishments that may presage the development of Si-based light emitters.<>
