We can get the position dependent currents, that is Jn(x,y) and Jp(x,y). Many researcher calculate separately the electron and hole terminal currents mainly when simulating the time response of photodetectors in order to show that the hole current is causing the broadness in the response. The question is how these two currents are calculated separately. To clarify my question: you may know the electron and hole current distribution in a simple 1-D pn junction, the total terminal current is the sum of the two currents at any position, can anyone tell me what is the terminal hole current or electron current? Or how to calculate them separately?
Dear Dr. Narayanan,
Can you please explore more on how to calculate them. Let's say in one dimension first, for the case of a pn junction where we have numerically solved the equations and obtained Jn(x) and Jp(x). How to find Jelectrons and Jholes?
