Two-Dimensional Simulations of Thin-Silicon Solar Cells

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    Quantitative analysis or numeric simulation on a cross-section of silicon devices offers many insights into understanding material problems and their effects on device performances as well as device structure optimizations. Such two-dimensional simulations on semiconductor devices are standard design practices and are routinely done with expensive software packages. The availability of lessexpensive software tools nowadays, such as MicroTec(R) for 2D modeling of semiconductor devices, affords us a more detailed examination of polycrystalline thin-silicon materials and solar cells.
