| Abstract: | By using the abrupt-depletion approximation, one obtains a linear equation for the minority-carrier concentration in a semiconductor. This equation describes the diffusion and the recombination statistics of the carriers under steady-state conditions. In a 2-dimensional geometry, this equation can be replaced by an equivalent integral equation, so that the given problem can be easily solved numerically. |
