A Three-Terminal Silicon-PMOSFET-Like Light-Emitting Device (LED) for Optical Intensity Modulation
A Si- p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOSFET)-like LED has been developed for light emission modulation. In contrast to a two-terminal Si-diode LED modulated by current signal, a major advantage of this three-terminal Si-PMOSFET LED is that the optical intensity modulat...
