Effect of Wedged Petaloid Configuration on Luminescence Characteristics of Si-LED Fabricated in Standard CMOS Process
source/drain region and n-well of standard CMOS technology
two forward-injection-type Si-LEDs with different petaloid configuration were designed and fabricated by UMC 0.18 m 1P6M CMOS process. The measurement results indicate that the emission spectra of both Si-LEDs locate at near-IR region with peak wavelength around 1 130 nm
and the devices can operate properly below 2 V. When the device TS2 with eight-petal configuration is forward-biased at 200 mA
its optical power increases to 1 200 nW without saturation
and the maximum power conversion efficiency reaches up to 5.810
-6
at the current of 40 mA
which is almost double that of the device TS1 with four-petal. Due to the features of low operating voltage and high conversion efficiency
the device TS2 is highly attractive for future optoelectronic applications.
