Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an injection type element,which can emit light in a visible region at a normal temperaure, by forming an electrode comprising a transparent oxide conductive film forming a rectifying junction on the one surface of an amorphouse silicon carbide film including hydrogen, and providing a second electrode through an n-type or p-type amorphous silicon film including hydrogen on the other surface. CONSTITUTION:A transparent electrode 12 is formed on a transparent insulating substrate 11 such as glass as the first electrode. The electrode 12 is made of, e.g., indium tin oxide, tin oxide, indium oxide, or the like,and formed by an EB evaporation method and the like. On the transparent electrode 12, an undoped a-SiC:H film 13 and an n type or p type a Si:H film 14, in which impurities are doped, are sequentially deposited by a glow discharge decomposition method. On the surface thereof, a metallic electrode 15 made of Al and the like is evaporated as the second electrode, which forms ohmic contact. Thus a light emitting element is completed. In the light emitting element formed in this way, light emission in a visible region can be seen at a normal temperature, when a DC voltage is applied between the metallic electrode 15 and the transparent electrode 12.
