Cover Story: Silicon nanocrystals offer a promising way to integrate silicon-based photonic solutions into existing microelectronic technology. A step towards the required improvement in light emission efficiency is presented. Periodic surface patterning by UV laser irradiation enhances the light extraction efficiency resulting in enhanced photoluminescence signals. A further increase in the photoluminescence signal is attributed to structural changes to the material by laser irradiation. Photoluminescence, Raman, and transmission electron microscope measurements are used to investigate the structural changes in the material. The influence of a surface structure on the photoluminescence from the silicon oxide layer is discussed in terms of a simple model describing the main effect. View this paper
