    Abstract: This disclosure includes systems, methods, and techniques for controlling a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). For example, a circuit includes a switching device, where the switching device is electrically connected to an LED of the plurality of LEDs, and where the switching device is configured to control whether the LED receives an electrical signal from a power source. Additionally, the circuit includes processing circuitry configured to receive a photocurrent signal indicative of a photocurrent value corresponding to the LED, compare the photocurrent value with a threshold photocurrent value, and control, based on the comparison of the photocurrent value with the threshold photocurrent value, an output current of the LED.

    Abstract: A method for producing a semiconductor component with a semiconductor body includes providing a substrate of a first conductivity type. A buried semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type is provided on the substrate. A functional unit semiconductor layer is provided on the buried semiconductor layer. At least one trench, which reaches into the substrate, is formed in the semiconductor body. An insulating layer is formed, which covers inner walls of the trench and electrically insulates the trench interior from the functional unit semiconductor layer and the buried semiconductor layer, the insulating layer having at least one opening in the region of the trench bottom. The at least one trench is filled with an electrically conductive semiconductor material of the first conductivity type, wherein the electrically conductive semiconductor material forms an electrical contact from a surface of the semiconductor body to the substrate.
