The authors report the fabrication of an electroluminescent MOS device using microclustered silicon in silica as the active layer. A DC electroluminescence spectrum is shown and compared with photoluminescence from the same material. A current-voltage curve is presented which shows weak rectifying behaviour and is consistent with a space-charge limited structure with a high resistivity layer.
