Consider the recombination process via bulk traps in a forward biased $p n$ homojunction diode. The maximum recombination rate is $U_{\max }$. If the electron and the hole capture cross sections are equal, which one of the following is FALSE?

A

$U_{\max }$ occurs at the edges of the depletion region in the device.

B

$U_{\max }$ depends exponentially on the applied bias.

C

With all other parameters unchanged, $U_{\max }$ increases if the thermal velocity of carrier increases.

D

With all other parameters unchanged, $U_{\max }$ decreases if the intrinsic carrier density is reduced.
