“…The latter is merely an approximation, which assumes that all SCR generation/recombination processes may be effectively lumped in a single SRV-like parameter. This assumption has been examined by increasingly elaborate numerical simulations as well as analytical developments [77,78,80,89,441,532,535,536]. It was usually found to be satisfactory (i.e., introducing an error of several percent at most) for free surfaces as well as Schottky contacts, including cases with minority carrier trapping.…”
