    The document contains 5 equations related to diodes and solar cells. The first two equations are the ideal and realistic diode equations, explaining the parameters J0, Jph, Rs, and Rp. The third equation is for calculating the open-circuit voltage Voc given the short-circuit current density Jsc and reverse saturation current density J0. The fourth equation is the diode equation for a Schottky junction, where J0 is mainly controlled by the barrier height and width at the metal-semiconductor interface as well as temperature. The last equation defines the air mass coefficient AM as a function of the solar altitude or zenith angle.

    Equations

    1) Write down the idealistic diode equation. Explain the parameters.

    𝑒.𝑉
    𝐽(𝑉) = 𝐽0 . [𝑒 𝑘𝐵.𝑇 − 1] − 𝐽𝑝ℎ

    2) Write down the realistic diode equation. Explain the parameters.

    𝑒.(𝑉−𝐽𝑅𝑠 ) 𝑉 − 𝐽𝑅𝑠
    (𝑉) = 𝐽0 . [𝑒 𝑛.𝑘𝐵 .𝑇 − 1] + − 𝐽𝑝ℎ
    𝑅𝑃

    3) Write down the equation for determining the Voc when knowing Jsc and J0.

    4) Write down the diode equation for a Shottky type junction. Explain J0 for a Shottky
    type junction. Which parameters are controlling the size of J0 in a Shottky junction?

    J0 represents the reverse saturation current density, which is the current density that flows when
    the diode is biased in the reverse direction. This current is due to the thermally generated
    minority carriers (electrons or holes) that can tunnel through the barrier at the interface
    between the metal and the semiconductor.
    J0 in a Schottky junction is mainly controlled by the barrier height and width at the interface
    between the metal and the semiconductor, as well as the temperature of the device. A higher
    barrier height and/or width leads to a smaller J0, while a higher temperature leads to a larger
    J0.

    5) Write down the equation for the Air Mass (AM).
