Abstract

The homoleptic compound erbium{tris[bis (trimethylsilyl)]amide} displays high doping ability for incorporation of the rare earth element into epitaxially grown semiconducting host materials for fabrication of temperature-independent, monochromatic solid state optoelectronic devices. Electronic characteristics derived from erbium doped semiconducting films have been obtained. Several more volatile and lower melting representatives of this class of compounds have been synthesized, characterized by various analytical techniques and examined for their suitability to incorporate optically-active erbium centers into a semiconducting environment.
