A security feature is presented for a security or value document. The security feature comprises a zinc sulfide luminophore in the form of particles. The zinc sulfide luminophore has the general chemical formula ZnS:Cu, M, X; here, M represents one or more elements from a group comprising the chemical elements Co, In and Ni; X represents one or more elements from a group comprising the halides F, Cl, Br and I; and the following applies: 0<x<0.002 and 0::; y<0.00015 and 0::; z<0.00050. The particles each have cubic phase portions and hexagonal phase portions. When excited by an electrical field, the zinc sulfide luminophore emits a first radiation in the range of the light spectrum between 580 nm and 780 nm. When excited by heating the luminophore to a temperature between 100° C. and 150° C., the zinc sulfide luminophore emits a second radiation in the light spectrum.

Security feature and method for the detection thereof, and security or value document

The present invention firstly relates to a security feature for a security or value document. The security feature comprises a zinc sulfide luminophore in the form of particles. The zinc sulfide luminophore has the general chemical formula ZnS: Cu, M, X; here, M represents one or more elements from a group comprising the chemical elements Co, In and Ni; X represents one or more elements from a group comprising the halides F, Cl, Br and I; and the following applies: 0<x<0.002 and 0≤y<0.00015 and 0≤z<0.00050. The particles each have cubic phase portions and hexagonal phase portions. When excited by an electrical field, the zinc sulfide luminophore emits a first radiation in the range of the light spectrum between 580 nm and 780 nm. When excited by heating the luminophore to a temperature between 100° C. and 150° C., the zinc sulfide luminophore emits a second radiation in the light spectrum. Furthermore, the invention relates to a security and value document, which may for example be a bank note or a passport, an identity card, a driving license or a postage stamp. The invention also relates to a method for detecting and/or verifying the security feature according to the invention.

The present disclosure provides methods for fabricating multi-layered electronic architectures in silicon and/or germanium. In particular the disclosure provides an advanced marker design and a methodology for aligning devices on multiple layers of a multi-layered electronic architecture. The disclosure also provides a process for growing a semiconductor material with high quality surfaces.
