Light-Emitting Silicon Coupled With Conventional Circuitry

Engineers have successfully integrated a porous silicon light-emitting diode into conventional microelectronic circuitry, creating an all-silicon system that can process both light and electricity. The breakthrough strengthens the material to withstand manufacturing processes, making it more suitable for mass production.
