Journal ArticleDOI
Contactless determination of current–voltage characteristics and minority‐carrier lifetimes in semiconductors from quasi‐steady‐state photoconductance data
Ronald A. Sinton,Andres Cuevas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method for implementing the steady-state photoconductance technique for determining the minority-carrier lifetime of semiconductor materials is presented, using a contactless instrument.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Quasi-steady-state photoconductance, a new method for solar cell material and device characterization
TL;DR: In this article, a new method for minority carrier lifetime determination using a contactless photoconductance instrument in a quasi-steady-state mode was proposed, which permits the use of simpler electronics and light sources, yet has the capability to measure lifetimes in the nanosecond to millisecond range.

TL;DR: A future with ∼10 TW of PV by 2030 and 30 to 70 TW by 2050 is envisioned, providing a majority of global energy, and what is needed in research in PV performance, reliability, manufacturing, and recycling is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental boron-oxygen-related carrier lifetime limit in mono- and multicrystalline silicon
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a universal empirical parameterisation predicting the stable carrier lifetime from the boron and oxygen content in the crystalline silicon material, which can be regarded as a fundamental upper limit for multicrystalline silicon.
