Abstract
A survey of dominant recombination mechanisms in semiconductors is given in terms of elementary physical processes. A division between avoidable and unavoidable recombination mechanisms is convenient. In the former, group recombination through crystallographic defects and impurities, in the latter, group band-band Auger recombination, can be important. The evidence for the dominance of radiative recombination is rather limited.
