Abstract
The collection efficiency ηc for photoexcited carriers is an important factor in solar cell efficiency. We have measured ηc for a‐Si : H‐Pt Schottky‐barrier solar cells and shown how it changes with the thickness of the barrier‐depletion layer. The results show that carrier generation requires an electric field in addition to light.Keywords
