Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of the research activities aimed at engineering novel, nanostructured-based materials solutions for CMOS-compatible electrically driven light sources. In particular, the state of the art of the optical and electrical properties of Si-nc nucleated within Si-rich nitride (SRN) matrices, and their large potential for energy sensitized, efficient 1.55mum electroluminescence under low injection fields are discussed
