p> The rate at which diffusion occurs depends on the velocity at which carriers move and on the distance between scattering events. It is termed diffusivity and is measured in cm 2 s -1. Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix.
Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix. Since raising the temperature will increase the thermal velocity of the carriers, diffusion occurs faster at higher temperatures. A single particle in a box will eventually be found at any random location in the box.
This process is called diffusion and the resulting carrier flow diffusion current. As we did earlier for the case of a photocurrent in a solar cell, it will be more convenient to talk about current densities (expressed in A/cm2) to make the discussion independent of the semiconductor area.
Diffused emitter In practical silicon solar cells the emitter is generally fabricated by diffusion of impurities into the semiconductor wafer. This creates a thin layer where the impurity gradient is very high and the approximation of constant doping concentration does not hold.
p - n solar cells: (Fig. 3.9) Here, one remarks that the transport of electrons and holes occurs mainly in the bulk of the p - and n -regions, where there is no significant electric field; this transport is governed by diffusion. Thus, the p - n solar cell is called a “diffusion-controlled device”.
The theory of solar cells explains the process by which light energy in photons is converted into electric current when the photons strike a suitable semiconductor device.
