On the impact of the capture rates on the generation/recombination lifetime ratio of a single deep level

The impact of the capture rate ratio on the determination of the generation/recombination (GR) level position from the ratio of the generation and recombination lifetime of a single deep centre is investigated. This is achieved by a further elaboration on the work by Schroder (1982). It is shown that for realistic lifetime ratios (/spl ges/50), the derived trap energy E/sub T/ should be close to the real value, irrespective of the capture rates.
