Abstract
A new carrier transport model describing the characteristic features of the photovoltaic property in a-Si solar cells has been developed, where transport of both electrons and holes is taken into consideration. Based upon this model, collection efficiency spectra have been theoretically calculated and compared with experimental data to evaluate some basic parameters; mobility lifetime products and effective surface recombination velocities. Through the systematic examinations of thus obtained parameters in various a-Si solar cells, a correlationship between the photovoltaic performance and the cell fabrication conditions has been made clear.
