Abstract
In this paper we propose a model for a proper kinetic description of the Auger effect as a generation/recombination mechanism for electrons and holes in a bipolar device. Boltzmann-type equations for the two-species population in a phonon background are presented, and equilibria and their stability are investigated. Particles and quasiparticles are allowed to obey generalized statistics, in order to possibly include nonstandard or nonextensive effects. The macroscopic recombination/generation rate is recovered as hydrodynamic limit.
