Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention The present invention relates to a new use of gold oxide silicon structure, which can be generated by electrical excitation. Light instead of light emitting diodes. Although Metal-Oxide-Silicon (abbreviated as 1403) structure was proposed by Moll, Pfann, and Garrett in 1959, it was never used for the purpose of generating light by electro-stimulation before the invention was proposed. The metal oxide silicon structure was first used as a voltage-controlled capacitor. In 1970, Boyle and Smith proposed the concept of charge depletion and made a charge-coupled device (CCD). Currently, they are CCD cameras and digital Key components of the camera. In the 1980s, MOS became a very important structure in integrated circuits. CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) made of N-type and P-type MOS field-effect transistor (MOSFET) synthesis and became a very large integrated circuit. (VLSI) or very large integrated circuit (ULSI). Even in solar cells, MOS is a highly regarded structure. Although MOS plays a very important role in the electronics field, the indirect bandgap of silicon (Silicon) makes the situation that MOS may produce rice is not optimistic. The innovative concept proposed by the present invention can not be restricted by the indirect bandgap of Silicon, so that E can also produce light β. The basic principle of this new type of gold oxide silicon light emitting diode is to apply quantum mechanics Tunneling effect (TunneUng effect). From the theoretical calculations of quantum mechanics, it is known that when the thickness of the oxide layer is as thin as a few nanometers (nm), the probability of tunneling by the electron will increase greatly, and the tunneling probability will be biased with the forward direction. The pressure increases with the increase, but the oxide layer is not the size of the paper.

Description of the invention (2) It is a conductor, so there is still a large voltage across the oxide layer, that is, the metal and Dream Semiconductor have different voltages, which causes the energy band of the silicon semiconductor to bend. If the P-type silicon is under a negative bias (metal is connected to a negative voltage and Shixi Semiconductor is connected to a positive voltage), near the interface between the oxide layer and Shixi Semiconductor, the energy band of the silicon semiconductor is bent upwards, so the potential of the hole is formed. Potentiai well, and a large number of accumulated holes 'At this time, a large number of electrons reach the potential well position of this hole from the metal end through a tunneling effect', so a large number of electrons And holes can be recombined here to emit photons. In the case of n-type silicon, the principle of generating photons by electrical excitation can also be deduced by analogy. The invention breaks through the traditional understanding of the structure of metal oxide silicon, so that it can also be used as a light emitting element. This breakthrough is because we start from basic quantum mechanics and re-understand the tunneling effect of the oxite structure and its possible impact on the characteristics of the device, especially the myth that silicon semiconductors cannot emit light. In practice, a very thin oxide layer has also been successfully grown so that the tunneling effect of electrons can occur, and the electroluminescence characteristics of the metal-oxide-silicon (MOS) structure have been verified. Summary of the Invention The present invention breaks through the past knowledge of solid state physics ideas and technologies, and uses innovative concepts to enable MOS to generate photons by electrical excitation. Based on the inventor's in-depth understanding of quantum mechanics and semiconductor device physics, it is known that an oxide layer as thin as a few nanometers (nm) can have the following characteristics: ι_ can allow electrons to pass through the tunneling effect, and this tunneling probability ( tunneHng probability) increases rapidly as the applied voltage increases. ----- : ----- ^: .1 Pack-(_Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) * tr ·. -¾ 45 60 57 A7 B7 Warp standard Mi% X Consumer Cooperation Printed by Du V. Description of the Invention (3) 2_ Provide a potential difference between the metal and the semiconductor, so that the electrons passing through can be transitioned from a high energy level to a low energy level, or combined with an electric hole, so it can release the corresponding Photons of energy. 3. Because of the potential difference between the metal and the semiconductor, the energy band of the silicon semiconductor is bent near the interface between the oxide layer and the semiconductor. The potential energy wells that form electrons or holes accumulate a large number of electrons or holes. Increase their chances of transitioning from high-energy steps to low-energy steps, or combining them to produce photons. 4. Because Shixi Semiconductor periodically terminates near the interface, the demand for momentum conservation is reduced, which greatly increases the probability of #radiative recombination. Therefore, the present invention proposes to use a silicon semiconductor and a metal to sandwich an extremely thin oxide layer, which can be used as the light emitting diode β, which is an extremely thin oxide layer. The oxide layer can be generated by various methods to 'contact the silicon surface with oxygen' or through By the way, the oxide layer grows very thin and without gaps under appropriate conditions. Then metal is deposited on this oxide layer to form a Metal Oxide Silicon Light Emitting Diode (MOSLED). Because the fabrication of the MOS structure of this metal-oxide-silicon light-emitting diode is the same as that of the traditional MOS structure, and it is made on the crystal board, it can be fully integrated with the current silicon chip integrated circuit, making Silicon wafers can be used not only in electronic products, but also as light-emitting elements. Monolithic integration of electronic b-sheets and light-emitting elements can further expand the application range of silicon wafers and silicon materials. In addition, the MOS structure and manufacturing process of this metal-oxide-silicon light-emitting diode are quite simple, and the production cost is low. The paper scale is applicable to the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (2I0XZ97 mm) of the paper. Refill this page} .D ^ —. --- ^ fil i 11 1 n —Ha mt 1 I f ^ n-II —

Description of the Invention (5) Detailed explanation of the electro-luminescence of the gold gas generating structure (Electro 丨 u min esce nee) ... In order to avoid P-type and N-type semiconductors At the same time, the possible mix-ups in the description will be described in this description using only a gold-oxide-silicon light-emitting diode on a P-type semiconductor as an example. As shown in the gold oxide silicon light emitting diode structure shown in Fig. 1, the silicon wafer 0) is set as a p-type semiconductor '(2) is an ultra-thin oxide layer, and (3) is a metal. When the bias voltage is not applied, the structure diagram of the energy band is shown in Fig. 3 (a). Under thermal equilibrium, the energy band is curved. At this time, no current flows, and therefore no light is emitted. When a negative voltage is applied to the metal terminal, ‘this curved band gradually flattens, but before it ’s fully flattened’, the electrons from the metal tunnel still need to pass through some potential barriers, so the current is still small. On the other hand, because the energy band is still bent downwards', there are no accumulated holes near the interface near the silicon oxide layer, so no significant number of electron hole recombination occurs. When the negative voltage at the metal terminal continues to increase until the energy band is completely flattened, the voltage at this time is called the flat band voltage, and the energy level barriers that electrons need to cross from tunneling through the metal also decrease, so the current increases. . When the negative voltage continues to increase, the 'energy band becomes upwardly curved, so the arm and arm coming from the metal tunnel does not need to' cross any energy barrier, and because the band of the oxide layer becomes a triangular cone at the metal end, as shown in Figure 5 (a As shown in the figure, according to the WKB method of quantum mechanics, the tunneling probability is greatly increased, so the current increases sharply (called tuimeling current). Figure 6 shows the current-voltage characteristics of a metal-oxide-silicon light emitting diode under forward bias. This figure shows that the current increases rapidly when the voltage is greater than the flat band voltage. When the energy band changes upward, the valence band is close to the interface of the Shi Ximei layer to form a potential energy well. Therefore, a large number of paper standards have been accumulated for China National Sample (CNS) A4 »( 210X297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page). Binding, printed by the Central Government Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and printed by the cooperative. 4 5 60 5 7 A7. _______B7 Five 'invention description (6) Electric hole, At the same time, a large number of electrons tunneled from the metal end to the interface near the silicon oxide layer, so a considerable number of electron hole recombination occurred. On the other hand, 'Since the silicon crystal is interrupted at the interface of the Shixi oxide layer', the momentum of the electron hole is different from that of the bulk silicon semiconductor, which makes the original situation that does not meet the conservation of momentum, so that the light cannot be changed. Therefore, the electron beam hole recombination can have a higher probability, and under the current increase, it emits considerable light. Figure 7 shows the light intensity-current characteristics of a metal-oxide-silicon light emitting diode under forward bias. The emission spectrum of the electron-emitting composite with the photoluminescence is shown in Fig. 8. This center wavelength corresponds to the band gap energy Eg (Bandgap energy) of the Shi Xi semiconductor. The energy of the band gap will decrease slightly with the temperature. Therefore, when the current is increased, the thermal effect causes the temperature to increase. Therefore, the emission spectrum shown in Figure 8 has a red shift as the current increases. In addition to the light-emitting compound through the electron hole, when the negative voltage at the metal terminal continues to increase, the Fermi level of the metal continues to rise, so it passes through from the metal terminal to arrive; the electrons of δ Xi will not only enter The lowest point of the Shi Xi conductive band can also enter the position of the conductive band with higher energy. In fact, the number of electrons that tunnel into higher conductive bands will be greater than the number of electrons entering the lowest point of the conductive band due to the following two factors: (1) The energy level density of the silicon conductive band increases with increasing energy; (2) As the electrons entering the lowest point of the fragmented conduction < ητ pass through, the energy level barrier they face increases with the negative voltage at the metal end, so their tunneling probability decreases instead. The above two factors result in two results. The first is the decrease in the number of electrons entering the lowest point of the silicon conductive belt. Therefore, the recombination of light through the electron hole is reduced, and even the paper scale is subject to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297). Male thin) (Please read the precautions on the back and then fill in 4 pages) Pack. 1T ―j, 456057 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (7) Loss ° The second is that although the luminous compoundness through the electron hole is reduced However, the number of electrons passing through the position of the conductive belt increases, and the number of electrons that tb enters the lowest point of the conductive belt increases, so a population inversion is formed between the high-energy conductive belt and the lowest point of the conductive belt. Therefore, the corresponding light can be emitted. Its emission frequency (wavelength) will change with the applied voltage, and it can be from far infrared to near infrared, or even visible light. Therefore, the use of the gold-oxide-silicon structure of the present invention can not only generate light corresponding to the energy gap and energy Eg of silicon semiconductors, but also light in the wavelength range from far infrared to visible light. The above description is only for the metal-oxide-semiconductor light-emitting diodes on P-type semiconductors. For the metal-oxide-semiconductor light-emitting diodes on N-type or undoped semiconductors, the light emission process can be analogized by β. In summary, the present invention is based on a breakthrough The concept of sexual innovation, so that the metal oxide silicon structure used to be limited to the electronic field can also be illuminated in an electrically excited manner, which will have a profound impact on the future silicon semiconductor industry and applications.
