Abstract

In order to apply to the White light emitting diodes (WLEDs), The $Y_2SiO_5:Eu^{3+}$ as red phosphor was synthesized by solid state reaction method. The highest emission of $Y_2SiO_5:Eu^{3+}$ was shown when the $Eu^{3+}$ concentration was 0.02. A single phase was observed from X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of synthesized samples and secondary phase wasn't found.
