ABSTRACT:
The application discloses a back-well cell, for example, a solar cell which comprises a first semiconductor material of one conductivity type with one face having the same conductivity type but more heavily doped to form a field region arranged to receive the radiant energy to be converted to electrical energy, and a layer of a second semiconductor material, preferably highly doped, of opposite conductivity type on the first semiconductor material adjacent the first semiconductor material at an interface remote from the heavily doped field region. Instead of the opposite conductivity layer, one may employ a metallic layer to form a Schottky diode. If the metallic Schottky diode layer is used, no additional back contact is needed. A contact such as a gridded contact, pervious to the radiant energy may be applied to the heavily doped field region of the more heavily doped, same conductivity material for its contact.
