We demonstrate that SiGe/Si interfacial potential fluctuations, within a high quality RTCVD grown multiple quantum well structure, lead to an efficient exciton localisation in the form of a strong blue shift of the low temperature exciton photoluminescence energy with increasing excitation power density. Moderate annealing of the sample at temperatures well below the growth temperature leads to the formation of striations only along the [011] direction. A study of the effect of different annealing temperatures on the D-line emission and striation structure is presented. Finally we also present first results on the characterisation of a light emitting diode using a transparent indium-tin-oxide layer as a top ohmic contact.
