Carrier lifetime measurements from the short-circuit photocurrent i(t) decay and both the decay and increase of open-circuit photovoltage v co(t) are studied by taking into account the conditions of the pulse excitation (duration, wavelength, intensity) and the solar cell properties (base width, back contact, emitter doping profile, p-n junction currents). The theoretical analysis and conditions of validity of the above measurement methods are compared with the experimental results obtained with N+ P cells of W = 350 and 450 μm base width submitted to laser pulses of 2 and 60 ns. When using penetrating 1.06 μm pulses, the i(t) decay gives the values and variations with carrier injection level of carrier bulk lifetime and/or effective lifeti...
