Abstract

We present an experimental study of light emission in silicon devices, mainly MOSFETs, p-i-n diodes, and MIS structures. The special analysis shows important features below as well as above the gap, indicating the type of mechanism responsible for the light emission. Striking differences we found between planar and vertical-type structures.
