Broadband light absorption enhancement in thin-film silicon solar cells.
Currently, the performances of thin film solar cells are limited by poor light absorption and carrier collection. In this research, large, broadband, and polarization-insensitive light absorption enhancement was realized via integrating with unique metallic nanogratings. Through simulation, three possible mechanisms were identified to be responsible for such an enormous enhancement. A test for ...
متن کاملLight Trapping Enhancement in a Thin Film with 2D Conformal Periodic Hexagonal Arrays
Applying a periodic light trapping array is an effective method to improve the optical properties in thin-film solar cells. In this work, we experimentally and theoretically investigate the light trapping properties of two-dimensional periodic hexagonal arrays in the framework of a conformal amorphous silicon film. Compared with the planar reference, the double-sided conformal periodic structur...
متن کاملEfficient light absorption with integrated nanopillar/nanowell arrays for three-dimensional thin-film photovoltaic applications.
Efficient light absorption in thin-film photovoltaic (PV) devices is crucial for improving their efficiency and reducing cost. Here we have not only developed a low-cost and scalable method to fabricate a unique type of integrated-nanopillar-nanowell (i-NPW) structure by integrating nanopillar and nanowell arrays together vertically, but also demonstrated the attractive optical property of the ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Polycrystalline Silicon Thin-Film Transistors
The nonlinear behavior of the transfer characteristics of polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) at the threshold voltage was analyzed. The threshold voltage VT was defined as the gate voltage giving half of the maximum transconductance (GmMAX=2). The nonlinear parameter V was also introduced as the maximum transconductance divided by the differential of Gm at VT. VT and V...
متن کاملAbsorption enhancement in thin-film silicon solar cells by two-dimensional periodic nanopatterns
A major problem of current silicon thin film solar cells lies in low carrier collection efficiency due to short carrier diffusion length. Instead of improving the collection efficiency in a relatively thick solar cell, increasing light absorption while still keeping the active layer thin is an alternative solution. Absorption enhancement in a thin film Si solar cell by incorporating a two-dimen...
