Visible electroluminescence with a peak wavelength of 6300 Å is observed from forward-biased porous Si p-n diodes with conducting polymer contacts. These devices have brighter electroluminescence than similar devices with thin, gold-film contacts. Electroluminescence is also observed from conducting polymer/n-porous Si diodes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
