What is the significance of diffusion length?

Carrier diffusion length is a fundamental concept in semiconductor physics and refers to the average distance an excess charge carrier (electron or hole) can travel through a semiconductor material before it recombines with an opposite charge carrier or is otherwise lost. It's a measure of how far carriers can diffuse away from their point of generation.

How to Calculate Hole Diffusion Length?

Hole Diffusion Length calculator uses Holes Diffusion Length = sqrt(Holes Diffusion Constant*Hole Carrier Lifetime) to calculate the Holes Diffusion Length, Hole Diffusion Length is the average distance that a hole can travel through the material before recombining with an electron and thereby disappearing. It is a key parameter that characterizes the performance of p-type semiconductor devices such as solar cells, photodiodes, and transistors. Holes Diffusion Length is denoted by L_p symbol.
