(а)
Equation for electron hole recombination rate in terms of excess electron concentration and
excess carrier lifetime is
R =
Here Sn(1) is excess electron concentration, R is electron hole recombination rate and r is
excess carrier lifetime.
Substitute 5x10" cm' for Sn and 5x10 s for r
R_ =-
(5x10“ cm)
(5x10" s)
= 10" cm's
Therefore electron hole recombination rate is R = 10" cm's"
Step2
b)
(b)
In semiconductor
"Po = n}
P.
Here n, and P, are the thermal-equilibrium concentrations of electrons and holes.
Again
P. = N.
= 2x10" cm
Now n,=
P.
Substitute 1,8 x 10° cm for n, and 2x10" cm"for Po.
P.
(1.8×10* cm")
(2x10" cm")
=1.62 x10 cm
Recombination rates are equal for both electrons and holes
Therefore
- P.
