  • Abstract
    An investigation of the effects of bulk and interface degradation processes on the junction ideality factor is presented. The ideality factor is extracted from a description of the simulated current–voltage characteristics of the junction, using a double exponential model. The junction ideality factor appears as a sensitive parameter appropriate to characterize the effect of recombination losses and to quantify the magnitude of junction devices degradation.
