At what condition, the rate of electron capture from the conduction band and the rate of the electron emission back into the conduction band must be equal?(a) Thermal equilibrium(b) At room temperature(c) T=250K(d) At boiling temperatureThe question was asked in a job interview.The doubt is from Carrier Life time topic in section Conduction in Semiconductors of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (a) Thermal EQUILIBRIUM

The explanation: At thermal equilibrium, the electron capture RATE and the EMISSION rate will be same in the conduction BAND.
