A theoretical analysis of the band-edge electroluminescence efficiency in silicon diodes and p-i-n-structures has been made. We have shown that maximal possible efficiency can achieve 10 % both at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures. Maximal values of the efficiency are restricted by the interband...
