Electrical and optical properties of electroluminescent porous silicon pn diodes have been investigated. The measurements were performed under pulsed conditions to maintain high quantum efficiency (∼0.2%) operation. Diodes with different peak wavelengths, obtained by varying the etching parameters, were used. A high correlation between electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) of porous silicon (PSi) structures was observed: similar luminescence peak position, spectral width, quantum efficiencies, decay time constants, and luminescence quenching at increasing temperature, suggesting the same recombination mechanism for both EL and PL. The temperature dependence of the forward current and EL revealed a thermally activated conduction mechanism with an activation energy of ∼0.1–0.2 eV which is attributed to potential barriers in the undulating silicon wires. EL quenching and a redshift of the EL peak at an increased temperature were also observed. This is attributed to shorter nonradiative lifetime...
