The MIS SBSC under Illumination

The electrical characteristics of the MIS SBSC under forward bias have been presented in sections 2.2 and 2.3. In this and the following sections of the chapter the performance of the cell under illumination and the factors limiting its conversion efficiency ill be discussed. 

Therefore from equations 22 and 23 the output current density is given by 

Using a similar analysis it may also be shown that for a p-type silicon MIS SBSC the output current density is given by 

The output characteristic for both n and p-type silicon MIS SBSCs under illumination may then be written in the form 

Under open circuit conditions in equation 27 is equal to
