We theoretically investigate the light-trap** properties of one-and two-dimensional
periodic patterns etched on the front surface of c-Si and a-Si thin film solar cells with a silver …

In this paper, TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide) incorporating ultrathin Ag intermediate
film is proposed as a new buffer layer to enhance the efficiency of CIGS thin-film solar cells …

Abstract Cu (In, Ga) Se2-based solar cells have reached efficiencies close to 23%. Further
knowledge-driven improvements require accurate determination of the material properties …

To simulate the complicated, graded structure of modern thin film CIGS solar cells, we
followed a 'material driven'approach. Each layer is considered as a compound A1-yBBy; the …

In this paper we present an optimization of rear-passivation parameters (cell pitch, opening
width, and interface trap density) in u-CIGS solar cell using TCAD tools. The proposed …

We use Silvaco-TCAD tools to optimize ultrathin Cu (In 1-x Ga x) Se 2 solar cells with rear
surface passivation. First of all, the single CIGS structure was performed and calibrated with …

This article focuses on the modeling and simulation of thin-film silicon solar cells to obtain
increased efficiency. Computer simulations were used to study the performance limits of …

Solar cell simulation software offers an intuitive platform enabling researchers to efficiently
model, simulate, analyze, and optimize photovoltaic devices and accelerate desired …

In order to decrease their cost and the use of rare metal elements, thin film solar cell
thicknesses are continuously reduced at the expense of their efficiency, due to a lack of …

This paper proposes a design using a 2-D photonic crystal (PhC) structure-based thin film
heterojunction GaAs solar cell with a periodic pattern extending from top transparent …
