The steady-state recombination rate for recombination via donor-acceptor pairs is worked out using a phenomenological model similar to that employed by Shockley and Read for single, isolated defects. Simplified expressions are given for the extrinsic case, for very small injection levels, and for very large injection levels. The effect of pair recombination on diode current and injection electroluminescence is also considered. The results are compared with the Shockley-Read mechanism wherever meaningful comparisons can be made.
