The effects of CIGS absorber layer thickness and band gap energy on the performance of CIGS thin film solar cell: a numerical simulation

This work examines the effects of the Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) absorber layer on the performance of a CIGS photovoltaic cell through numerical simulation using Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structure – 1Dimensional (AMPS – 1D) software. The band gap energy and thickness of...
