Surface type Schottky barrier solar cells are photovoltaic cells. PV characteristics of the surface barrier is to use only one and a kind of impurity-doped semiconductor (n-type or p-type, photo-V effect comes this piece of semiconductor surface barrier zone. If the surface barrier by the formation of different materials, surface potential barrier photocell two basic categories: One is all solid state battery, the other is electrolytes / solid battery. all solid state battery of metal / semiconductor (MS) or metal / insulator / semiconductor (MIS) structure, Toshiba Satellite P500 battery often referred to as Schottky barrier solar cell. electrolyte / solid battery liquid / semiconductor structure, known as electrochemical photovoltaic cells (EPC).
