Direct bandgap GeSn light emitting diodes for short-wave infrared applications grown on Si

Abstract: The experimental demonstration of fundamental direct bandgap, group IV GeSn alloys has constituted an important step towards realization of the last missing ingredient for electronic-photonic integrated circuits, i.e. the efficient group IV laser source. In this contribution, we present electroluminescence studies of reduced-pressure CVD grown, direct bandgap GeSn light emitting diodes (LEDs) with Sn contents up to 11 at.%. Besides homojunction GeSn LEDs, complex heterojunction structures, such as GeSn/Ge mult… Show more

“…The Sn concentration of both the buffer and top GeSn well were varied in the range 0 -at.%, which is experimentally accessible in epitaxial growth 14 . In recent publications we have examined the region where the GeSn well undergoes a transition from indirect to direct bandgap depending on the Sn concentration in the GeSn buffer and well 6,18 . If we exclude the parameter configurations in which the GeSn well has an indirect, the Ge well has a direct bandgap and where the alignment for the bands is not of type I, only a small parameter space is left, suitable for carrier confinement (green area, Figure 3 (b)).…”
