    The experimental static current-voltage I-V characteristics of almost ideal silicon p-n junctions are not adequately described by the classic Sah-Noyce-Shockley theory. The I-V characteristics are accurately modeled by admitting the presence of a new class of defects in addition to Shockley-Read-Hall generation-recombination centers. The new center, modeled as a donor-acceptor twin, behaves as a pure generation center.
