Abstract

Description: The article theoretically investigated the effect of temperature on the values of the non-ideality coefficient of the I – V characteristic of an illuminated SC. Semi-empirical expressions are obtained for determining the temperature dependence of the nonideality coefficient of the current – voltage characteristic of an illuminated semiconductor SC. It is stated that the value of the coefficient of non-ideality of the photo I – V characteristic of the SE has different values for different points of the photo I – V characteristic and also that its value is almost independent of the temperature in the range 160 K.
