When one chooses to regard the current as being carried by positive holes rather
than negative electrons, the electrons are best regarded as merely the absence
of holes; i.e., levels occupied by electrons are to be considered unoccupied by ...

To deduce the dependence on V of the current that flows when a p-n junction is "
biased" by the application of an external voltage, we must consider separately
the currents of electrons and holes. Throughout the discussion that follows we
shall ...

The resulting generation current is insensitive to the size of the potential drop
across the depletion layer, since any hole, having entered the layer from the n-
side, will be swept through to the p-side.9 A hole current flows from the p- to the ...
