Provided are a silicon nitride layer for a light emitting device, light emitting device using the same, and method of forming the silicon nitride layer for the light emitting device. The silicon nitride layer of the light emitting device includes a silicon nitride matrix and silicon nanocrystals formed in the silicon nitride matrix. A light emitting device manufactured by the silicon nitride layer has a good luminous efficiency and emits light in the visible region including the short-wavelength blue/violet region and the near infrared region.

Silicon nitride layer for light emitting device, light emitting device using the same, and method of forming silicon nitride layer for light emitting device

Provided are a biosensor with a silicon nanowire and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, a biosensor with a silicon nanowire including a defect region formed by irradiation of an electron beam, and a method of manufacturing the same. The biosensor includes: a silicon substrate; a source region disposed on the silicon substrate; a drain region disposed on the silicon substrate; and a silicon nanowire disposed on the source region and the drain region, and having a defect region formed by irradiation of an electron beam. Therefore, by irradiating a certain region of a high-concentration doped silicon nanowire with an electron beam to lower electron mobility in the certain region, it is possible to maintain a low contact resistance between the silicon nanowire and a metal electrode and to lower operation current of a biomaterial detection part, thereby improving sensitivity of the biosensor.

Biosensor and method of manufacturing the same

Provided is a semiconductor light emitting diode, in which a plurality of upper electrodes is formed on a surface of an upper doping layer or an emission layer and at least one lower electrode is formed on a surface of a lower doping layer or a substrate in a silicon-based light emitting diode or a nitride-based light emitting diode to enhance a spreading characteristic of current applied to the electrodes, thereby maximizing an emitting area of the emission layer and inducing an emission having a uniform intensity on an entire surface of the emission layer to further enhance the luminous efficiency of the light emitting diode.

Semiconductor light emitting diode

Due to the indirect transition characteristic of silicon semiconductors, the light extraction efficiency of a silicon-based light emitting diode is lower than that of a compound semiconductor-based light emitting diode. For this reason, there are difficulties in practically using and commercializing silicon-based light emitting diodes developed so far. Provided is a silicon-based light emitting including: a substrate with a lower electrode layer on a lower surface thereof; a lower doped layer that is formed on an upper surface of the substrate and supplies carriers to an emitting layer; the emitting layer that is a silicon semiconductor layer including silicon quantum dots or nanodots formed on the lower doped layer and has a light-emitting characteristic; an upper doped layer that is formed on the emitting layer and supplies carriers to the emitting layer; an upper electrode layer formed on the upper doped layer; and a surface structure including a surface pattern formed on the upper electrode layer, a surface structure including an upper electrode pattern and an upper doped pattern formed by patterning the upper electrode layer and the upper doped layer, or a surface structure including the surface pattern, the upper electrode pattern, and upper doped pattern, wherein the surface structure enhances the light extraction efficiency of light emitted from the emitting layer according to geometric optics.

A silicon-based light emitting diode simultaneously adopts doping layers and Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR). The silicon-based light emitting diode includes an active layer having mutually opposing a first side and a second side. A first reflecting portion faces with the first side of the active layer, and a second reflecting portion faces with the second side of the active layer. A first doping layer is interposed between the active layer and the first reflecting portion. A second doping layer is interposed between the active layer and the second reflecting portion. A first electrode is electrically connectable to the first doping layer, and a second electrode is electrically connectable to the second doping layer. Here, At least one of the first reflecting portion and the second reflecting portion has the DBR that is formed by alternately stacking two kinds of differently composed silicon-containing insulating layers and a gate.
