Abstract:

P+a-SiC/ I nc-Si/N+a-Si structure solar cells is simulated by AMPS-1D program package to characterize the new thin film solar cell. In order to analyze the characteristics of the device, the thickness of layer are considered. The results show that the thickness of layer and the value of layer have a great effect on the conversion efficiency. Our results suggest a high performance P a-SiC/ I nc-Si/N a-Si structure solar cells with high efficiency of 14.411% and fill factor of 0.738. The simulation result is potentially valuable in exploring gradual bandgap P+a-SiC/I nc-Si/N+a-Si structure solar cells with high performance.
