Urgent requirement for an optical emitter that is compatible with standard silicon based ultra large scale integration(ULSI) technology.
• III-V Semiconducting materials
Engineering of existing III-V semiconductors such as GaAsSb.

Background
Silicon
Bulk silicon has an indirect energy bandgap and is therefore highly inefficient as light source.
GaAs
GaAs has a direct band gap.

Why β-Fesi2?
• It exhibits quasi direct bandgap around 0.8eV corresponding to 1.5μm wavelength.

β-Fesi2 band structure
![Page 9: Electrical Transport Studies of Electro Optically Active Semiconductors](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56814d45550346895dba689c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
•Light emission has been observed only in strained films of β-Fesi2.An alternative to strain is band structure modification by alloying.
