Parameter Explanation

• $N_{levels}$
• $N_{trap}$ : trap density. $c{m}^{-3}$ negative sign as electron trap and poisitive sign as hole trap
  
• Et : depth of trap related to Ec. $(eV)$
  
• degeneracy : degeneracy of traps, we usually set as 1.
• ${\tau }_e$ : nonradiative lifetime of electrons. $(Sec.)$
  
• ${\tau }_h$ : nonradiative lifetime of holes. $(Sec.)$
  

Note that usually $\tau =\frac{1}{N_t{v}_{th}\sigma }$. Therefore, when Nt is increased, the non-radiative lifetime should decrease as well. Users need to adjust this by themselves.

Example

$multitraps
2
-1e+17  1.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7 1e+18  2.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7
-1e+17  1.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7 1e+18  2.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7
-1e+17  1.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7 1e+18  2.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7
-1e+17  1.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7 1e+18  2.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7
-1e+17  1.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7 1e+18  2.1  1  1.0e-7  1.0e-7

This means 2 trap levels. One is electron trap where the trap level is below conduction band 1.1eV. The other trap levels is hole trap levels, which is below conduction band 2.1 eV
