The optimum thickness of a silicon solar cell base is determined using phenomelogic parameters, which are the minority carriers diffusion coefficient and the recombination velocity at the back side, influenced by Lorentzs law and the Umklapp process.The results obtained are consistent with the generation of minority charge carriers deep in the base by a monochromatic light of long wavelength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
