Abstract

Er-doped Si/SiO2 superlattices were fabricated with subnanometer control of the Si layer thickness. A significant increase in the luminescence intensity was observed as the thickness of the Si layer was decreased from 3.6 nm to a single monolayer. The study of the photoluminescence properties of Er in relation to time and temperature revealed reduction of the bulk-Si region as the main reason for the increase in luminescence.
