Carrier generation and recombination
In the
solid-state physics
of
semiconductors
,
carrier generation
and
recombination
are processes by which mobile
charge carriers
(
electrons
and
electron holes
) are created and eliminated. Carrier generation and recombination processes are fundamental to the operation of many
optoelectronic
semiconductor devices
, such as
photodiodes
,
LED
s and
laser diodes
. They are also critical to a full analysis of
p-n junction
devices such as bipolar junction transistors and p-n junction
diodes
.
