Abstract

In this work we suggest looking for influences of a constant magnetic field and the base doping rate on a parallel vertical junction silicon solar cell under multispectral illumination in static regime. A study on the coefficient and the length diffusion according to the magnetic field B and the doping rate Nb is made. The minority carriers density in the base was studied according to the depth of the base for various values of the base doping rate and the magnetic field. This study allows us to determine the influences of the doping rate and the magnetic field on the photocurrent density, the photovoltage, the space charge region capacitance.The study of these electrical parameters is done according to the concept of the junction surface recombination velocity of excess minority carriers. The logarithm of the capacitance versus photovoltage leads to transitional capacitance.
