ABSTRACT:
This photovoltaic cell in a principal embodiment comprises a P-type substrate having an unshadowed first surface adapted to receiving incident radiation and a second surface which contains at least one ohmic contact and at least one metal-insulator-semiconductor contact, this structure thereby forming a back contacted minority carrier MIS cell.
