摘要
We report on current injection induced terahertz electroluminescence from 4H-SiC p-n junctions with operating temperature up to 270K. The emission is assigned to intracenter optical transitions in donor centers, initiated by the injection of non-equilibrium carriers into the n-doped region of a SiC p-n junction. At a pumping current of 300mA at 100K, the integrated output power was 58 mu W from the device surface with an area of 3mm(2). These results suggest that THz emitting devices can be fabricated with simple structures of SiC p-n junctions, with relatively high operating temperatures and reasonable output powers.
