Abstract

See full text

This invention describes a method of controlling light emission from porous silicon and porous silicon devices using ion implantation. The emitted light intensity can be either selectively increased or decreased by suitable processing of the silicon prior to the fabrication of the porous layer. Amorphizing the silicon prior to the fabrication of the porous layer quenches the light emission. Ion implantation with doses below the amorphization level enhances the intensity of the emitted light of the subsequently fabricated porous layer.
