Electron-beam scanning method suggested for determining back-surface recombination velocity, SB, of back-surface-field (BSF) solar photovoltaic cell. Recombination velocity important because smaller value correlated with smaller saturation current and therefore higher cell efficiency. Method involves analyzing short-circuit current measured while electron beam scanned along edge of cell.
