  • Abstract
    Photoelectric fields induced in semiconductors with nonuniform impurity profiles cancel the built-in electric field. In the case of strong photoexcitation, the maximum open-circuit voltage approaches the internal built-in potential difference due to the impurity gradient between the ohmic contact probes on the semiconductor slice.
