Since the response of a hole is the same as the response an electron would have
if the electron were in the unoccupied level ( point 2 above ) , this completes the
demonstration that holes behave in all respects like ordinary positively charged ...

A hole current flows from the n - to the p - side of the junction , known as the hole
generation current . As the name indicates , this current arises from holes that are
generated just on the n - side of the depletion layer by the thermal excitation of ...
