ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating an electroluminescent device includes, on a prepared substrate, depositing a rare earth-doped silicon-rich layer on gate oxide layer as a light emitting layer; and annealing and oxidizing the structure to repair any damage caused to the rare earth-doped silicon-rich layer; and incorporating the electroluminescent device into a CMOS IC. An electroluminescent device fabricated according to the method of the invention includes a substrate, a rare earth-doped silicon-rich layer formed on the gate oxide layer for emitting a light of a pre-determined wavelength; a top electrode formed on the rare earth-doped silicon-rich layer; and associated CMOS IC structures fabricated thereabout.
