The shape of the contrast can be treated mathematically to determine the minority carrier properties of the semiconductor, such as diffusion length and surface recombination velocity.
32.
The diode prevented the transistor from saturating by minimizing the forward bias on the collector-base transistor junction, thus reducing the minority carrier injection to a negligible amount.
33.
The minority carrier traps can be also observed for the p-n junctions by application of forward bias pulses, which inject minority carriers into the space charge region.

35.
After all the discussion of electrons, holes, majority and minority carriers etc . each come down to an equation that most directly relates to the circuit designer.
36.
The injected minority carriers are reduced in number as they travel into the bulk by " recombination " mechanisms that drive the excess concentrations toward the bulk values.
37.
"I think it will be good news for minority carriers and bad news for a lot of bigger firms, " said Miller, the owner of C & D Carriers.
38.
In these cells the diffusion length of minority carriers ( the length that photo-generated carriers can travel before they recombine ) must be large compared to the cell thickness.
39.
By injecting minority carriers ( holes ) from the collector p + region into the n-drift region during forward conduction, the resistance of the n-drift region is considerably reduced.
40.
By 1938, Boris Davydov had developed a theory of the copper-oxide rectifier, identifying the effect of the p n junction and the importance of minority carriers and surface states.
