Abstract:
The magneto-transport equation relating to the density of the photogenerated minority carriers in the base of the silicon solar cell is studied under monochromatic illumination. The optimum thickness (Hopt) of the base of the solar cell is obtained, by the graphical method of representing the recombination velocity of the minority carriers on the back side. The optimum thickness (Hopt) decreases with both, the applied magnetic field and temperature, and justifies the material saving by established modeling expressions.
