Improved Efficiency of Microcrystalline Silicon Thin-Film Solar Cells With Wide Bandgap CdS Buffer Layer

In this paper, we have reported a new structure based upon an optical simulation of maximum light trapping and management in microcrystalline silicon thin-film solar cells by using multitexture schemes and introducing an n-type cadmium sulphide (CdS) buffer layer with the goal of extreme light coupl...
