Abstract
Most theoretical investigations of solar cells use a 1-dimensional model for the calculation of the minority-carrier concentration and the characteristics. However, if the surface of the junction is no longer flat, a more-dimensional analysis will, be necessary. A numerical 2-dimensional analysis based on an integral-equation technique is presented to solve the problem.
