Q.

The recombination in indirect band-gap semiconductors is slow.

A. true
B. false
Answer» A. true
Explanation: in an indirect band-gap semiconductor, the maximum and minimum energies occur at different values of crystal momentum. however, three-particle recombination process is far less probable than the two-particle process exhibited by direct band-gap semiconductors. hence, the recombination in an indirect band-gap semiconductor is relatively slow.
