Why should the front n-layer of a c-Si solar cell be thinner than the p-layer?
A. The solar cell would actually have the same performance if the n-layer were thicker than the p-layer, as long as a p-n junction is created between these two.
Because the diffusion length of the photogenerated holes is larger in the n-layer than in the p-layer.
C. Because n-doping is required to absorb the incoming light.
D. Because most of the photons are absorbed close to the front surface of the solar cell and the thickness should be smaller than the hole diffusion length in the emitter.
