Abstract
In both limiting cases of the strong and absence of bulk recombination the Shockley model of Current-Voltage Characteristic (CVC) of the p-n junction leads to unphysical results. The model needs to be properly modified and corrected. Some of the modifications are addressed in this communication. It is shown, in particular, that the Peltier effect strongly affects the CVC of p-n diodes weakly biased.
