Customer ServiceThis 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.
Solar cells exploit the optoelectronic properties of semiconductors to produce the photovoltaic (PV) effect: the transformation of solar radiation energy (photons) into electrical energy. Note that the photovoltaic and photoelectric effects are related, but they are not the same.
This is the case for solar cells, in which electrons need to be able to exit the n side of the cell and holes need to be able to exit the p side (this will be thoroughly analyzed in Section 3.4). If the flow of the majority carriers is also blocked by the passivation layer, the solar cell cannot generate any photocurrent.
The solar cell delivers a constant current for any given illumination level while the voltage is determined largely by the load resistance. The short circuit photocurrent is obtained by integrating the product of the photon flux density and QE over photon energy.
