Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? Thanks! I guess my last real question is.....the energy band for the acceptor atoms....is that the energy needed for? What...a electron to fall into a hole? Or does an electron to fall into a hole need a ton of energy? I guess on the other end im not really sure what that energy level on the P-Side would mean? |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? Ah gotcha, so the Donors atom energy level is right below the conduction band which is why it requires so little energy to go to the conduction band. Ok finally getting it all. Thanks for being patient haha. |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? Is this because Electrons on the Donor atoms are already sort of "in" the conduction band? (I didn't realize this before, but since it's an extra electron it's going to not be in the valence band i'd assume?) |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? I mean the energy required to remove an electron from an atom, that energy is much lower on a Donor atom (nside) than an Acceptor Atom (pside) |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? Ok So basically the de-ionization of an acceptor atom in the p-side requires a much higher energy to deionize put simply? |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? I guess im confused (sorry) if the energy gap is the same (on the p-side and n-side) ~1eV....then the P-Side should be releasing the electrons from the acceptor atoms too? since the n-side did that at room temperature. or are u saying the energy required for the N-side to ionize a electron is much lower than the p-side? (Im confused because u said the energy gap was the same.....which if it was, both the p-side acceptor atoms, and n-side donor atoms would release electrons at room temp) |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? Ah, but the thermal energy required for the N-Side dopants to release electrons is much lower correct? Since it happens at room temp anyways? |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? Oh thats what I meant, that once the depletion region was formed...how often a Acceptor atom de-ionizes. |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? Makes sense, but can you answer one quick question: In the scenario that you mentioned (Which makes sense). How often would this de-ionization happen? Or do typically the electrons in the P-Side stay with their respective Atoms? Because if it happened alot...it seems like the depletion region would be unstable (as in shifting alot) since electrons would be popping in and out alot. |

Ionized Depletion Region, Why aren't those charged being excited? @boyfarrell thats a fair rewording. Because im mainly concerned with why at room temp electrons are being ionized....but still being trapped with the acceptor atoms. But I also suppose I wonder why electrons aren't filling the donor atoms either (but Im assuming thats because of electric field....which makes sense) |

Carrier Electrons Generation and Recombination Time Is this how fast they are generating? or how long it's lasting before falling back into it's own hole. And when it's generated...is it most likely to fall back into the hole its left? or another hole "near" it? |
