Carrier Confinement

Carrier Confinement is a physical mechanism in semiconductor heterostructures wherein charge carriers (electrons and holes) are spatially restricted within a quantum well region due to energy potential barriers created by bandgap engineering, thereby enhancing radiative recombination efficiency in laser diodes.
