currents{ recombination_model{ } }¶
\(\mathrm{\textcolor{Aquamarine}{optional}}\)
items: \(\mathrm{exactly\;1}\)
This group controls which recombination processes are included in the drift-diffusion model, and if generation for these processes is taken into account as well.
Generation process can be is enabled and disabled using enable_generation for all recombination processes at once.
Thus, enabling only generation without also enabling recombination is not possible (enable_generation = yes has no effect then).
If radiative recombination is calculated (radiative = yes), then the photo_current is included in the file IV_characteristics.dat.
Additionally, the internal quantum efficiency is written to the file internal_quantum_efficiency.dat.
Maintained Keywords¶
The keywords below are available in at least one of currently published releases and are planned to be included also in the next release.
SRH¶
\(\mathrm{\textcolor{Aquamarine}{optional}}\)
type: \(\mathrm{choice}\)
choices: \(\mathrm{yes\;/\;no}\)
default: \(\mathrm{no}\)
If set to yes then bulk Shockley-Read-Hall recombination (Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination) is included in the model.
Auger¶
\(\mathrm{\textcolor{Aquamarine}{optional}}\)
type: \(\mathrm{choice}\)
choices: \(\mathrm{yes\;/\;no}\)
default: \(\mathrm{no}\)
If set to yes then bulk Auger recombination (Auger recombination) is included in the model.
radiative¶
\(\mathrm{\textcolor{Aquamarine}{optional}}\)
type: \(\mathrm{choice}\)
choices: \(\mathrm{yes\;/\;no}\)
default: \(\mathrm{no}\)
If set to yes then bulk radiative recombination (direct recombination) (Radiative recombination) is included in the model.
enable_generation¶
\(\mathrm{\textcolor{Aquamarine}{optional}}\)
type: \(\mathrm{choice}\)
choices: \(\mathrm{yes\;/\;no}\)
default: \(\mathrm{yes}\)
If set to yes then bulk generation processes for SRH and Auger recombination processes, if they are included in the model.
