Rational impurity doping for enhanced hole mobility in silicon quantum dots for light-emitting diodes

Abstract

We report on the impact of impurity doping on the performance enhancement of silicon quantum dot (SiQD) light-emitting diodes. The increase in hole mobility resulting from boron doping increases the external quantum efficiency of electroluminescence by a factor of 12 and the optical power density by a factor of 2.65.
