  • Abstract
    A simple general analytical solution to the minority carrier transport equations in an arbitrarily doped semiconductor (Si, GaAs, and InGaAsP) region is obtained by including an arbitrary non-thermal source term in the continuity equation. Internal quantum efficiencies resulting from AM1 illumination in gaussian doped silicon emitters are calculated by the new analytical expression arnd compared with ``exact´´ computer calculations.
