Patent abstract
A silicon-based light emitting structure is formed as a high density array of light-emitting p-n junctions that substantially increases the intensity of the light emitted in a planar region. The p-n junctions are formed using standard CMOS processing methods, and emit light in response to applied voltages that generate avalanche breakdown and an avalanche current.
