Image force effects have been shown to play an important role in deciding the current-voltage characteristics of the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) Solar Cell. Because of reduction in barrier height and the barrier width, the dark saturation current is increased, and thereby the open circuit voltage is greatly affected.
