A kinetic approach for chemically reacting systems is derived on the basis of a nonequilibrium Green's function method. This approach is used to take into account nonideality effects in the rate equation for the exciton density in a semiconductor. Numerical results, especially for the impact ionization coefficient, are given in the case of germanium.
