Abstract
Nanoscale investigation of material properties is of high interest for improving photovoltaic devices. In this work, we present a technique to assess minority carrier lifetime at nanoscale. To do so, we use Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy on the cross-section of an epitaxial silicon solar cell under modulated frequency electrical bias. Our measurements present a good spatial and temporal agreement with standard material characterization techniques.
