That definition made things a bunch clearer for me and once again, thank you for your reply and your effort! However, what I may have expressed badly is that I am wondering whether minority carriers generated within the depletion region contribute to the drift current, or only those not in...

Thank you very much for your reply! It cleared a huge amount up for me and I am eternally grateful... Just one more question- if I understood your reply to 1) correctly you say there are many more minority carriers at the boundary than within the depletion region- why is this? Shouldn't there...

Any answers? This would really mean a world to me...

I'm having trouble fully conceptualizing drift current- what I always hear is that it is caused by minority carriers within one diffusion length of the junction being swept across by the electric field that is generated by the imbalance caused by diffusion of electrons. Here is what I am...
