Abstract
A method is suggested for determining the charge transport mechanism in p-n junctions by analyzing the temperature dependence of forward current-voltage characteristics at a low injection level. The method has been experimentally tested with Si:Au diodes, green GaP LEDs, and blue AlGaN/InGaN/GaN LEDS with a quantum well.
