Analytical study of the minority carrier distribution and photocurrent of a Schottky-barrier silicon solar cell

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Schottky-barrier solar cells have been studied previously by various research workers. In this paper, the excess minority carrier distribution and the photocurrent of Schottky-barrier solar cell have been studied analytically and their dependence of doping concentration and back surface recombination velocity has been reported. An attempt has been made to give an interpretation of the results obtained from theoretical considerations.
