Abstract(in English) We have multiply-stacked Si-QDs in SiO_2 by repeating a process sequence of Si dot formation by LPCVD using pure SiH_4 followed by surface oxidation and modification by remote plasmas in which pulse injection of either B_2H_6 or PH_3 during the Si dot formation leads to δ-doping to Si-QDs. In this work, we focused on boron doped Si-QDs/SiO_2 stacked structure on ~4nm-thick SiO_2/p-Si(100) and studied the influence of B δ-doping into Si-QDs on their luminescence properties in comparison to pure and P-doped Si-QDs. From hard x-ray photoemission measurements, we confirmed B or P incorporation into Si-QDs. Under bias conditions for both electron injection from a semitransparent Au top electrode and hole injection from the p-Si(100) substrate, the electroluminescence (EL), in the visible and near-infrared regions at room temperature was observed and the emission intensity increased with the current over the threshold bias of 3V. It should be noted that the B δ-doping to Si-QDs significantly reduce the threshold voltage for EL and enhance the emission intensity by about three and two orders of magnitude under the same bias condition compared with pure and P-doped Si-QDs, respectively. This result indicates that B acceptors can contribute to an increase of charge injection rate in EL.
