Working Principle
The following processes take place in a
general photovoltaic cell:
Presence of a built in electric field. On exposure to light, electron-hole pair is
generated. The electron-hole thus move in opposite direction under the influence of build-in electric field. If both the ends are connected, a current flows in the outer circuit.

Fabrication
Demonstrated Application
A silicon nanowire pH sensor was
powered by a single coaxial silicon nanowire photovoltaic device. The operation of AND logic gates fabricated from nanowires and powered by two coaxial silicon nanowires photovoltaic devices.
Simulation
The device has been simulated using
Silvaco ATLAS, a 2D/3D semiconductor device simulator. The following steps were taken for simulation:
DeckBuild run-time environment received the input
files. Within the input files, Silvaco Atlas was called to execute the code. TonyPlot was used to view the output of the simulation.
