Determination of the charge transport mechanism in p-n junctions by analyzing temperature dependences of forward current-voltage characteristics

Semiconductors volume 42, pages 1532–1535 (2008)Cite this article

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.
