The maximum recombination rate is Umax. If the electron and the hole capture cross-sections are equal, which one of the following is FALSE? With all other parameters unchanged, Umax decreases if the intrinsic carrier density is reduced. WY, Umax f Ura Occurs at the edges of the depletion region in the device.
