Numerical Simulation Study of CIGS-based Thin Film and Heterojunction Solar Cells: Doping and Buffer/Absorber Layer Optimization for Maximum Efficiency

Numerical Simulation Study of CIGS-based Thin Film and Heterojunction Solar Cells: Doping and Buffer/Absorber Layer Optimization for Maximum Efficiency

In this work we present the results of the numerical simulation study of the electrical characteristics of a CIGS-based thin film and heterojunction solar cell and their interpretations. First, we will simulate two solar cells of structures: ZnO/CdS(n)/CIGS(p)/Mo and ZnO/ZnS(n)/CIGS(p)/Mo using the...
