In a solar cell the light initially passes through the n-type silicon to reach the pn-junction where it is desired that the light absorption occur. If we want at least 90 percent of the light entering a silicon solar cell to reach the pn-junction region, what is the maximum thickness of the n-type material for 0.6 ?m light assuming pure silicon?
