Abstract

The reverse recovery time is calculated using a general expression for the net recombination rate through a recombination center. When the capture rate of minority carriers is high compared to that of majority carriers, the recovery time increases with the injection level even if the condition of low injection level is satisfied. This means that the apparent lifetime obtained from Kingston's relationship is larger than the true value. An approximate equation which relates the recovery time to the injection level is proposed.
