|
|
|
|
| • | At temperatures
> °K |
||||||||
| – | Some electrons
move into conduction band |
||||||||
| • | Electron-Hole
pairs are formed |
||||||||
| – | Hole is vacancy
left in lattice by an electron |
||||||||
| that moves into
conduction band |
|||||||||
| – | Continuous
recombination occurs |
