In this study, an NIR-emitting electroluminescent (EL) device based on a Cr3+-doped beta-Ga2O3 on a silicon substrate was investigated. The device exhibited excellent electrical properties and thermal stability. The emitted spectrum was both sharp and broadband, attributed to the incorporation of Cr3+ ions in the beta-Ga2O3 host.
Near-infrared (NIR) light spectroscopy has been utilized generously in wide applications, especially for plant growth supplements. However, providing an NIR light-emitting device that has excellent thermal stability re-mains a formidable challenge, due to the inherent characteristics of semiconductor materials when exposed to temperature variations. Herein, we present our investigation on an NIR-emitting electroluminescent (EL) device based on a Cr3+-doped beta-Ga2O3 fabricated on a silicon substrate. The beta-Ga2O3 inherits excellent electrical properties that lead to satisfactory performance as an EL device. Due to the intermediate crystal field strength of incorporating Cr3+ ions in the beta-Ga2O3 host, it emits both sharp and broadband spectrum attributed to the metal ions transition energy levels in the octahedral site. The dependence of EL spectroscopy on applied voltages, frequencies, and temperatures is investigated. The results revealed acceptable performance and thermal stability that are potentially used in harsh environmental conditions.
