Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005020287A2] Methods and devices are disclosed for producing controllable light emission from a bipolar transistor. Also, a method is disclosed for increasing the speed of a bipolar transistor, including the following steps: providing a bipolar transistor having emitter, base, and collector regions; providing electrodes for coupling electrical signals with the emitter, base, and collector regions; and adapting the base region to enhance stimulated emission to the detriment of spontaneous emission, so as to reduce carrier recombination lifetime in the base region.
