Abstract: In this paper, a method of determining the Emitter Extension space charge Region in a silicon Solar Cell Operating in short-circuit condition, is presented. The excess minority carrier’s density versus base Depth is established in Dynamic Regime under monochromatic Illumination. Considering the junction as a plane capacitor, the emitter extension region X0e is determined for various wavelengths,by using Gauss’s law.
Keywords: Silicon Solar Cell – Minority Carrier’s Density – Monochromatic Illumination – Dynamic Regime – Gauss’s Law – Emitter Extension Region.
