We present a model of the temperature dependence of point-defect-mediated luminescence in silicon derived from basic kinetics and semiconductor physics and based on the kinetics of bound exciton formation. The model provides a good fit to data for W line electroluminescence and G line photoluminescence in silicon. Strategies are discussed for extending luminescence to room temperature.
