The optical properties have been numerically investigated in crystalline silicon nanoholes array for various structural parameters. We have demonstrated that the light absorption can be greatly enhanced in silicon nanoholes array especially for long wavelength absorption compared with single diameter nanoholes array. We have also obtained the optimal parameters for absorption wavelength control, at which the photocurrent enhancement factors have been achieved to be 14.43% compared to silicon thin film. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism of the absorption enhancement in dual-diameter nanoholes array has been discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
