Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Due to the expectation for the renewable energy source, photovoltaic devices with novel materials such as organic substances have attracted much attention. To get deeper insight of the device performance, the extraction of device parameters by fitting the illuminated current-voltage characteristics with the 1-diode equivalent circuit model, which consists of an ideal photocurrent source, a diode, and series and parallel resistances, is routinely carried out. In many cases, the forth quadrant of the characteristic is mainly used for this purpose. Although a lot of papers on the efficient fitting computational methods have been published, the features of the model itself in terms of the curve fitting have been rarely discussed. Here, it is shown that the fitting ability of the simple one-diode model is so high that the evaluation of the ideality factor of the diode is difficult, when the target photovoltaic device has sufficiently high series resistance and low parallel resistance. This condition is frequently satisfied by bulk-heterojunction organic thin-film photovoltaic devices. On the other hand, the estimation of the ideality factor from the dark characteristics is found to be rather easy, because of the high parallel resistance.
