“…This is because such measurements potentially enable the extraction of L in the absorber material inside a complete cell structure. Diffusion length values were successfully extracted from open circuit voltage measurements on solar cell junctions [433,443,444,446,449,451,455]. As long as the top region in a homojunction, or the window layer in a heterojunction, are considerably more heavily doped than the absorber (which is usually the case), the depletion region is contained almost entirely within the absorber layer, just like in the case of a free surface or a Schottky contact.…”
