TOPIC Direct and I ndirect R ecombination of Electron and Holes
Recombination When the electron in the conduction band surpasses the energy gap and reaches the valence band, it becomes stable and occupies the position of a hole in the valence band . Direct recombination Indirect recombination
Direct Recombination
Continue…. Emitted as a photon, Recombination is radiative , Gallium arsenide,
Indirect Recombination
Continue…. Involves the trapping of an electron or holes followed by re-emission into the valance and conduction band. Silicon germinium
Application of Direct and I ndirect Recombination Laser LEDs light generation Transmission Modulation
