Abstract:In this paper, we have simulated a copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cell using a physically based two-dimensional device simulator SILVACO Atlas. The simulation of electrical characteristics and quantum efficiency was under AM1.5 illumination and a temperature of 300 K. In this work, we changed the band gap of CuInxGa1 -xSe to optimize the efficiency of the solar cell. We obtained it by varying the absorber layer thickness with different mole fractions x that affects the efficiency of the … Show more
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.
