4.3.1 P-N Junction under Illumination

Course subject(s) Module 4 – The P-N junction

Illuminated Junction – Depletion Region

In the final section of module 4, we discuss the most important part of the p-n junction behavior for solar cell operation: the p-n junction under illumination. In this video you will learn how illumination influences the concentration of charge carriers, the built-in voltage and the width of the  depletion region.
