4 Ijectio of excess carriers No-equilibrium! (i some cases: quasi-equilibrium)
5 Carrier ijectio - itroductio carrier ijectio = rocess of itroducig excess carriers i a semicoductor, so that: > i 2 Otical excitatio: shie a light o a semicoductor crystal; if the eergy of the hotos is hν > E g, the Photos absorbed excess electro-hole airs are created: Δ = Δ Other methods: Forward-bias a juctio I a extrisic semicoductor, the relative effect of Δ = Δ is very differet for majority ad miority carriers, sice Let us work out a examle (-tye Si, 0 > 0 at equilibrium) 14/ L.Laceri - Comlemeti di Fisica - Lectures

9 Carrier ijectio - summary carrier ijectio = rocess of itroducig excess carriers i a semicoductor Several methods (otical, etc.) Low-level ijectio: relative effect o cocetratio Negligible o majority carriers Imortat for miority carriers (also called miority carriers ijectio ) High-level ijectio If very high, both cocetratios become comarable Sometimes ecoutered i device oeratio 14/ L.Laceri - Comlemeti di Fisica - Lectures
10 Quasi-equilibrium Examle: Ijectio or Geeratio of a excess of electros ad holes by absortio of hotos i a very short time, about s Excess electros ad holes relax searately to thermal equilibrium i about s ad remai for a much loger time i this quasi-equilibrium state Recombiatio of electros ad holes via several ossible mechaisms takes tyically about 10-6 s; lety of time to do somethig useful with stable electros ad holes! 14/ L.Laceri - Comlemeti di Fisica - Lectures
11 Quasi-equilibrium ad quasi-fermi levels F P F N I quasi-equilibrium coditios: Two differet Quasi-Fermi Levels F N ad F P, describe the searate quasi-equilibrium cocetratios of electros ad holes, each oulatio corresodig to a searate Fermi-Dirac df (oe for electros, aother for holes) 14/ L.Laceri - Comlemeti di Fisica - Lectures
12 Quasi-Fermi levels: defiitio I quasi-equilibrium coditios: Two differet Quasi-Fermi Levels F N ad F P, describe the searate quasi-equilibrium cocetratios of electros ad holes: Electros: ( i e F N E i ) kt = N C e ( E C F N ) kt F N E i + kt l( ) i = E C kt l( N C ) Holes: ( i e E i F P ) kt = N V e ( F N E V ) kt F P E i kt l( ) i = E V + kt l( N V ) 14/ L.Laceri - Comlemeti di Fisica - Lectures

14 Quasi-Fermi levels: a examle Thermal equilibrium Fermi level E F -tye -tye equilibrium No-equilibrium No-equilibrium Quasi-Fermi levels F N, F P 14/ L.Laceri - Comlemeti di Fisica - Lectures
15 Quasi-Fermi levels ad currets At (quasi-)equilibrium, (quasi-)fermi levels are costat Why? Because from the thermodyamic oit of view the Fermi level is the total chemical otetial, icludig the iteral chemical otetial ad exteral otetial eergy cotributios, like for istace the electrostatic otetial eergy. Off-equilibrium, the et movemet of carriers is related to the chagig total chemical otetial or (quasi-)fermi level by: J,x µ F N x J,x µ F P x From the defiitios of F N, F P by substitutio oe obtais: k J,x = qµ E x + qµ B T q x J,x = qµ E x qµ k B T q x drift diffusio D drift diffusio D NB: A quasi-fermi level that varies with ositio i a bad diagram immediately idicates that curret is flowig i the semicoductor!
