  • Abstract
    Light emission-intensity profiles, images and nonuniform photon counts from reverse biased n+-diode fabricated by LOCOS and trench isolation are measured. Both spatial fluctuations of the emission profiles and nonuniform photon counts are relatively larger in trench-isolated diodes than those in LOCOS-isolated ones, and decrease as the reverse current increases
