Abstract
When there is substantial interaction between two trap levels in the band gap, the carrier recombination in the depletion layer of a silicon p¿n junction does not follow conventional Shockley¿Read¿Hall statistics. Such a system is capable of producing a current/voltage relationship approximating to the form I¿ exp (eV/1.5 kT).
