3.7 Generation and Recombination

All described models in the next subsections evaluate a specific carrier recombination rate $R$. The sum of the calculated rates gives the overall recombination rate for the corresponding carrier type. This overall rate denotes the inhomogeneity of the corresponding continuity equations (3.2) and (3.3).
