• The injected holes diffuse through the bar and recombine with a
carrier life time τp or we can say that the carrier will recombine
only after the period τp. In steady state condition, the excess
carrier concentration decays to zero for large values of x i.e., as x
tends to infinity.
• The diffusion length Lp is the
distance at which the excess hole
distribution is reduced to times
the value at the point of injection i.e.,
at x=0.
