ABSTRACT:
An induced junction solar cell includes a silicon semiconductor wafer with an aluminum ohmic contact layer on one surface, a thin oxide layer on the other surface, a grid-type aluminum contact on the oxide layer and an electret, i.e. charged outer polymer layer covering the grid-type contact and exposed oxide layer. The electric field of trapped charges in the electret penetrate the semiconductor and separate photogenerated carriers. Minority carriers are extracted through a rectifying grid-type contact to permit a build-up of potential and a barrier for majority carriers.
