Abstract

1435135 Electroluminescence PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 10 July 1973 [13 July 1972] 32794/73 Heading C4S [Also in Division H1] The recombination volume of an electroluminescent semi-conductor device including a forward-biased junction J between a body 1 and a region 2 is controlled by an electric field induced in a zone 2b of the latter by an electrode 5 capacitively coupled to the region 2 through a dielectric layer 4. In accordance with the magnitude and polarity of the field in zone 2b minority carriers may be caused to recombine preferentially near the surface of the region 2 where recombination is non-radiative and no electroluminescence results, or deep in the bulk of the semi-conductor material where recombination is radiative and electroluminescence is produced. The thickness of the region 2 is preferably 1-10 minority carrier diffusion lengths, while the zone 2a below the field zone 2b is less than one diffusion length thick. In a device such as that illustrated different voltages applied to the two capacitive electrodes 5, 6 may cause one part of the device to radiate, e.g. through transparent dielectric and electrode layers 4, 5, while another part remains dark, and this facility may be employed in a display device having either a common junction J or a plurality of junctions each of which underlie a corresponding capactive electrode. The junction J is preferably a PN junction and may be formed by epitaxy or diffusion. In the former case it may be a heterojunction, e.g. between N-type GaAs body 1 and Te-doped GaAs 0À6 P 0À4 region 2. The region 2 preferably includes Zn introduced by diffusion and subsequently outdiffused so as to contain a concentration of recombination centres which diminishes as the surface is approached. Other semi-conductor materials mentioned are GaP and GaAlAs. The dielectric layer 4 may be an oxide of Si or Al, while the transparent electrodes 5, 6 may be of tin oxide, indium oxide or Cr of appropriate thinness. The surface of the dielectric layer 4 between the electrodes 5, 6 may be covered with an opaque insulating coating, optionally covered itself by a conductive layer.
