摘要
Contribution of carrier recombination from the p/i interface regions and the bulk to the dark current-voltage (J(D)-V) and short-circuit current-open-circuit voltage (J(sc)-V-oc) characteristics of hydrogenated amorphous-silicon (a-Si:H) p-i-n and n-i-p solar cells have been separated, identified, and quantified. Results are presented and discussed here which show that a maximum 1 sun V-oc for a given bulk material can be validly extrapolated from bulk dominated J(sc)-V-oc characteristics at low illumination intensities.
