Scanning electron microscope charge-collection images of grain boundaries
Journal Article
·
· J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)
Images of grain boundaries obtained in the scanning electron microscope operated in the electron beam-induced current mode are calculated. Images of boundaries in semicrystalline silicon solar cells are measured in the experiment and agree within 2% with theory. The calculated profiles depend strongly on the diffusion length of the semiconductor, providing a new method for determining the diffusion length of the material.
