  • Abstract
    We presented the novel structure of the solar cell that has the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) diode at the side wall of the power generation layer (1). The purpose of this research is to simulate influence of the field-effect on the recombination of carriers for the micro-wall solar cell. It was found that the increase ratio of conversion efficiency under the gate voltage application is 4.5 times at the maximum in comparison with non-gate application corresponding to the conventional solar cell.
