摘要
A series of n-type amorphous silicon/p-type crystalline silicon solar cells has been exposed to different fluences of 1MeV electrons. For intermediate fluences up to 1.10(13) electrons/cm(2), an enhancement of the spectral response at shorter wavelengths and a increase of the short circuit current has been observed, while for higher fluences the usual device degradation due to the decrease of the charge carrier diffusion length in the crystalline silicon base after irradiation has been found.
