Abstract
We propose Si/SrTiO3 single quantum well (SQWs) structures for
silicon-based optoelectronic device applications. They are modeled
according to experimental and theoretical data recently published. By
assuming quantum confinement of carrier's, electron-light hole exciton
and electron-heavy hole exciton based luminescence, the calculations
show the possibility of Si/SrTiO3 SQWS Structures to emit light in the
1.00-1.20 mum wavelength range. Considering the existence of smooth
interfaces up to 15 Angstrom. thick, we have demonstrated that shifts on
the excitons energies as strong as 50 meV can be attained in the case of
thin (similar to40 Angstrom) silicon wells. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science
