Electrophysical characteristics of p- and n-Si contacts with YBa2Cu3O7 ceramics have been studied. Basing on comparative consideration of those characteristics with other experimental data on CuO and YBa2Cu3O7, a possible model has been proposed for the YBa2Cu3O7 energy structure where the ceramics is presented as a multiband material with consecutive symmetric arrangement of central and side valleys. The model of nonequilibrium charge carriers cascade recombination has been proposed consisting in a hierarchic change of the recombination mechanisms under variation of the applied voltage and temperature from the three-molecular recombination to bimolecular and then single-molecular ones.
