A numerical analysis of ZnTe/AZO as tunnel junction in CdTe/Si tandem solar cell

Abstract: Recently, interest has shifted towards developing multijunction or tandem solar cells due to their high potential to generate higher efficiency than traditional single-junction solar cells. Cadmium telluride (CdTe) and silicon (Si) solar cell materials have demonstrated significant potential in photovoltaic energy generation as tandem structures if fully developed. One approach for optimising CdTe/Si is to develop an effective tunnel junction that can electrically and optically interconnect the cadmium telluri… Show more

“…In this work, a highly doped p++ zinc telluride (ZnTe) and n++ aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) (ZnTe/AZO) is proposed as TJ to connect the two subcells. The doping concentrations are 10 20 cm −3 and 10 19 cm −3 for ZnTe and AZO, respectively 39 . These high doping concentrations resulted in significant bending of the Ec of ZnTe towards the Ev of AZO to ease non-local band-to-band tunneling between the top and the bottom cells, as seen in Fig.…”
