Sharp, strong luminescence has been obtained from erbium in silicon-germanium quantum well structures. The quantum well layers were implanted with erbium, followed by amorphisation using a silicon implant at 77 K. The structures were then recrystallised by solid phase epitaxial regrowth at 550°C. Compared with bulk silicon systems, stronger erbium activity was observed in the quantum well host.
