    The infrared light emission of forward-biased silicon diodes is studied. Through ion implantation and anneal, dislocation loops were created near the diode junction. These loops suppress the light emission at the band-to-band peak around 1.1 μm. The so-called D1 line at 1.5 μm is strongly enhanced by these dislocation loops. We report a full study of photoluminescence and electroluminescence of these diodes. The results lead to new insights for the manufacturing approach of practical infrared light sources in integrated circuit

    Influence of interface recombination in light emission from lateral Si-based light emitting devices

    The influence of interface recombination on the electroluminescence profile of a lateral p+/p/n+ light emitting diode fabricated on Silicon On Insulator (SOI) materials has been experimentally investigated. Our device resembles a MOSFET fabricated on SOI (1), except that the source region has opposite doping to the drain. By controlling the voltage bias at the poly gate on top of active emitting region in association with a bias on the silicon substrate under the active region we were able to diminish the non-radiative recombination component at Si/SiO2 interface and therefore enhance the radiative recombination in the thin film SOI. When the diode is working under constant current condition, we observe an increased light output of ~ 20 % as the gate and/or the substrate are biased negatively. The intensity profile across the device is also strongly influenced. To understand the device thoroughly, the structure has also been simulated showing agreement with experimental results.\u

    Website Innovation Affects Student Satisfaction

    University websites are more and more essential in communicating, exchanging information, providing educational services, and implementing marketing programs. Innovating the website is an important solution to improve the quality of educational services and attract students. This study was conducted to demonstrate the role of website innovation on student satisfaction. Research data were collected using quota sampling with 280 students studying at universities in Vietnam. Qualitative and quantitative research are used to test the research hypotheses. Applying structural equation modeling (SEM), the study shows that website innovation positively affects students’ perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and trust. Besides, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and trust positively influence student satisfaction. This study has demonstrated that website innovation affects student satisfaction through the mediating role of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and trust
