Abstract

Here we fabricated and characterized a CMOS compatible metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) plasmonic tunnel junction for Si-based photonic circuitry. A grating structure was realized on MIS plasmonic tunnel junction via focused-ion-beam milling (FIB) to increase the intensity of the light emission that occurs during inelastic electron tunneling. Approximately 65 times higher intensity of light emission is achieved with the grating structure during the measurements.
