In a silicon-based light emitting diode-photodiode (LED-PD) arrangement, the LED is implemented as an avalanche LED (ALED) and the ALED and PD are integrated into a common integrated circuit. The ALED is formed around a cross-shaped PD and is separated from the PD by a deep trench region. In order to create current crowding close to the deep trench the ALED includes an NBL or PBL having a narrowing at its end. |
