p> The rate at which diffusion occurs depends on the velocity at which carriers move and on the distance between scattering events. It is termed diffusivity and is measured in cm 2 s -1. Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix.
However, the solar cells produced using the newly developed diffusion process demonstrated significant advantages in terms of open-circuit voltage and current, although there was a slight decrease in the fill factor. Moreover, a notable improvement in photovoltaic conversion efficiency was observed.
Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix. Since raising the temperature will increase the thermal velocity of the carriers, diffusion occurs faster at higher temperatures. A single particle in a box will eventually be found at any random location in the box.
