Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to present the General Method for illuminated and Not illuminated (GEMINI) simulations. This new concept is used to take into account localized phenomena, within a physically-based TCAD environment. The GEMINI allows the physical simulation of solar cells I(V) characteristics under both dark and illumination, without noticeable extra CPU time.
