Abstract

Summary form only given. Smart pixels present the possibility of integrating an array of light detectors and an array of light sources on a single chip. The demonstration chip used for experiments was based on monolithic integration of LEDs and optical detectors and was fabricated as part of MIT´s OPTOCHIP project. Each pixel in our design included a LED in the middle, and a pair of MSM and OPFET detectors. These results demonstrate the validity of the model for integrated LED sources and provide a base for implementation of more advanced sensor systems.
