Modelling and optimization of a-Si:H solar cells with ZnO:Al back reector
Result description
The introduction of aluminium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) as a back reector is an important part of the light-trapping techniques in present thin-lm silicon solar cells. However, the application of the sputtered ZnO:Al at the back contact often results inan S-shaped J?V characteristic and a low ll factor. Using the advanced semiconductor analysis (ASA) simulation program we investigated the origin of the S-shape in the hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells. We carried out a sensitivity study of ZnO:Al properties and back-contact interface parameters on the performance of a-Si:H solar cells.
