Abstract

The quasiequilibrium assumption for p-n junctions is used to simplify the analysis of junction devices. It is useful to know if this assumption can be used for arbitrary forward injection levels. A recent proof which insists that the assumption is restricted to low injection levels is shown to be in error. An alternative approach via quasi-Fermi levels yields the conclusion that the assumption can be verified only after the bulk behavior has been established.
