Abstract
An approximate closed-form solution for the transport equations in heavily doped regions is proposed, leading to an expression for the minority carrier currents, in which the influence of technological parameters is easily readable. As an example, the emitter collection efficiency for a photovoltaic device is evaluated in some significant cases
