Question

We consider a half-infinite bar of p-type silicon, as shown in the figure below, with a "minority carrier digester" at (x=0), such that the electron concentration, np, at this location is zero (i.e., np(x=0)=0). This bar is uniformly illuminated and as a result carriers are generated at a rate g′. The electric field in the bar is zero and we consider a steady-state situation.

 

The expression for the excess minority carrier concentration as a function of x is given by:
