Abstract
Contactless photovoltage method is presented as a generalization of convent ional surface photovoltage investigation of semiconductor parameters. Exist ence of two space charge regions causing two signals of opposite sign was t aken into account and calculated photovoltage was compared with experimenta l data. The method has been used for evaluation of parameters of silicon so lar cells. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
