Light Emission from Silicon

ISBN: 9783908450245 出版年：1997 页码：132 Trans Tech Publications Ltd

This volume presents the most recent results concerning the various approaches to obtaining light emission from silicon.This dream of silicon technologists is inspired by the fact that an efficient and stable silicon light emitting device would open the way to the production of monolithic optoelectronic integrated circuits, that were based entirely upon silicon. In fact, some of the main building blocks of optoelectronic devices, such as waveguides and photodetectors have already been developed by using silicon technology. The above possibility would sharply reduce the price of optoelectronic circuits as compared with hybrid ones.
