Carrier transport in double-heterostructure active layers

Use of the diffusion equation (with an effective coefficient De) for describing carrier diffusion and drift parallel to the junction in the active layer of a semiconductor double-heterostructure is justified under commonly encountered conditions, and the effective De is evaluated. This equation is b...

Zusammenfassung:Use of the diffusion equation (with an effective coefficient De) for describing carrier diffusion and drift parallel to the junction in the active layer of a semiconductor double-heterostructure is justified under commonly encountered conditions, and the effective De is evaluated. This equation is basic to the description of any laser or light emitting diode phenomenon where the injected carrier density is nonuniform. UFoff
