Abstract

The thermovoltaic characteristics of the p-n junction fabricated on the basis of technical silicon melted by means of solar radiation have been measured. The thermovoltaic effect that becomes apparent at temperatures T ≥ 60°C has been detected. This effect is evidently associated with the thermal generation of electron-hole pairs with the participation of impurities and surface states of intergrain boundaries.
