Excess Carrier Generation and Recombination
When external force (electric, optical, thermal) is applied, excess electrons and holes are create in pairs
With generation of excess carriers, concentration of electrons and holes are increased
Electrons and holes are recombined at the same time of generation are equalSlide8

Carrier Generation and Recombination in Equilibrium (Band-to-Band)
For direct band-to-band generation, the electrons and holes are created in pairs
For direct band-to-band recombination, the electrons and holes are combined in pairs
In thermal equilibrium, the generation and recombination rates are equalSlide9Slide10Slide11Slide12Slide13Slide14
