Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An electroluminescence peak at the increasing energy with decreasing silicon layer thickness has been observed in indium tin oxide/ultrathin silicon dioxide film/ultrathin silicon layer/buried silicon dioxide devices. This indicates that the peak is due to quantum confinement effects in a two-dimensional structure. A thinning method to improve the thickness uniformity of an ultrathin silicon layer in a defined area by photoetching with N-fluoropyridinium salts using a system with a projector and reduction optics has been developed.
