1 Naomaterials for Photovoltaics (v11) 1 6. Homojuctios / juctio diode The most imortat device cocet for the coversio of light ito electrical curret is the / juctio diode. We first cosider isolated ad regios with o electric cotact. I this case, we caot assume the materials to be i electrical equilibrium with oe aother. I other words, the Fermi level is ideedet i each material: I equilibrium, the Fermi level becomes costat by a redistributio of mobile carriers i the viciity of the juctio to form a electric field, with a cocomitat bad bedig. Electros ted to lowest available eergy, so we ca ifer that the juctio has a built-i electric field oit from to We ca fid the built-i otetial (voltage) bi V without ay detailed kowledge of the carrier distributios ear the juctio. First fid the work fuctio o each side of the juctio. O the -side:

A useful aalysis uses the deletio aroximatio. It is assume that adjacet regios o either side of the juctio are fully deleted of mobile carriers, with oly the immobile, ioized doats cotributig to the electric field. The roblem is the oe of electrostatics. This charged volume ear the juctio is called the deletio regio or the sace-charge regio (SCR).

The voltage dro across the SCR is aaretly w q Εxdx NAw NDw Vbi V xw Usig the revious derivatio, the width of the SCR is: Vbi V 1 1 ww w q NA N D Notice that the SCR becomes arrower i forward bias ( V 0 ) ad wider i reverse bias ( V 0 ). I the eutral regios (outside of the SCR),we exect E F A e i E kt E F Ei kt N i, ND i e I the SCR, the quasi-fermi levels are aroximately determied by those of the majority carrier o either side. (We will look at this more carefully later).

If there are o hotogeerated carriers there is o quasi-fermi level slittig outside the SCR: It is fairly easy to see that the Fermi level far from the juctio is aroximately determied by the majority carrier cocetratio. / juctio: o-equilibrium (IV) First, aalyze without hotogeeratio.

The carriers move quickly through the SCR, because of the large electric field there. Let s estimate the trasit time for carriers to cross the SCR. For this, we comute the drift velocity i a costat electric field give by the average field i the SCR, which is E Emax i the deletio aroximatio.

15 Naomaterials for Photovoltaics (v11) 15 Plots: carrier cocetratios i deletio arox. The lots below show the mechaisms for curret i the cases of forward bias with o geeratio ad forward bias with geeratio. I the deletio aroximatio, the miority-carrier cocetratios at the edges of the SCR are ideedet of their cocetratios farther from the juctio. So, if o hotogeeratio occurs, miority carriers will diffusive away from the juctio, which costitutes the diode curret. If adequate hotogeeratio occurs, miority carriers will diffuse towards the juctio ad cotribute to the hotocurret.
