The main problem in making electrophotonic circuits entirely in silicon is to have a light source compatible and embeddable in an integrated circuit manufacturing technology. Light Emitting Capacitors (LEC) based on Silicon Rich Oxide (SRO) are an alternative to solve this problem. However, the volt...
