| Description | A summary of selected experimental results obtained on lithium-diffused bulk silicon is presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the radiation-induced degradation and thermal annealing of minority carriers in bulk silicon because solar cell output is related to the minority carrier lifetime. The temperature dependence of the minority carrier lifetime indicates the density and energy levels of the recombination centers and provides clues to their identity. Electron spin resonance and infrared absorption techniques are used to investigate the introduction and anneal of three specific radiation induced defects, which are thought to contribute to the recombination process. |
