Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. The effects of low-energy electron irradiation on the conversion efficiency of Si-based solar cells are experimentally analyzed. The energy of the electron beam is 20-80 keV and the fluence of the beam is changed from 10/sup 12/-10/sup 17/ electrons/cm/sup 2/. The low energy beam has the range of several tens /spl mu/m, which is less than the thickness of the solar cells.
