How to Evaluate Emitter Efficiency?

Emitter Efficiency evaluator uses Emitter Efficiency = Electron Diffusion Current/(Electron Diffusion Current+Hole Diffusion Current) to evaluate the Emitter Efficiency, The emitter efficiency is the ratio of carriers injected into the base from the emitter (forward minority carrier injection) to total carriers injected from the base into the emitter (reverse minority carrier injection) plus forward injection. Emitter Efficiency is denoted by ηE symbol.

How to evaluate Emitter Efficiency using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Emitter Efficiency, enter Electron Diffusion Current (InE) & Hole Diffusion Current (Ih) and hit the calculate button.
