SOLID STATE TRANSDUCERS WITH STATE DETECTION, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract: solid state transducers with state detection, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. a solid state transducer system may include a support substrate that carries a solid state emitter and a state device. the solid state emitter and the state device may be stacked along a common axis. further, the state device may be positioned to detect a state of the solid state emitter and/or an electrical path of which the solid state emitter forms a part. the solid state emitter may include a first semiconductor component, a second semiconductor component, and an active region between the first and second semiconductor components. the state device may include a state-sensing component having a composition different than that of the active region and the first and second semiconductor components. in some embodiments, the state-sensing component may include an electrostatic discharge protection device, a thermal sensor, a photosensor, or a combination thereof.
