Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19754945A1] A silicon-based, IC-compatible luminescent diode (LED) or laser diode (LD) has a light-emitting layer based on semiconductor ruthenium silicide (Ru2Si3) on silicon for the near infrared wavelength range around 1.5 mu m. This component has an epitaxial Si/Ru2Si3Si or Si/Ru2Si3 heterostructure with band discontinuities of more than 0.05 eV for electrons or holes in order to achieve charge carrier confinement and thus an efficient light yield at room temperature.
