摘要
The observation of light-induced degradation (LID) in indium-doped silicon has led to the idea of an A(Si)-Si-i-defect responsible for LID. Generation of silicon self interstitials (Si-i) leads, in consequence of the A(Si)-Si-i-defect model, to an enhancement or activation of LID, respectively. This was observed several decades ago at the beginning of solar cell investigation for space application. Boron-doped float-zone (FZ) silicon solar cells show LID after electron irradiation, gallium-doped FZ solar cells do not. The literature data is summarized and interpreted in view of the ASi-Sii-defect model. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
