How do you measure lifetime of a carrier?

Traditionally, direct electrical measurements of minority carrier lifetimes are made using direct current (DC) photoconductive decay (PCD) measurements, whereas non-invasive, contact-free lifetime measurements are made using time-resolved microwave reflectance (TMR), or time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL).

How to Calculate Carrier Lifetime?

Carrier Lifetime calculator uses Carrier Lifetime = 1/(Proportionality for Recombination*(Holes Concentration in Valance Band+Electron Concentration in Conduction Band)) to calculate the Carrier Lifetime, The Carrier Lifetime formula is defined as carrier lifetime is defined as the average time it takes for a minority carrier to recombine. The process through which this is done is typically known as minority carrier recombination. Carrier Lifetime is denoted by T_a symbol.
