摘要
Carrier transport processes are studied for p-n homo- and hetero-junctions where trap levels do not simply exist at the interface, but are distributed in space. The equation for the injected current is derived for the process of electron-hole recombination throughout the depletion region, and processes of electron-trapping and hole-tunnelling are included. The emitter injection efficiency is discussed with respect to the location of the trap levels existing in heterojunctions.
