摘要
A two-dimensional (2D) analytical model based on the Green's Function method is applied to an n(+)-p thin film polycrystalline solar cell that allows us to calculate the conversion efficiency. This model considers the effective Gaussian doping profile in the p region in order to improve cell efficiency. The dependence of mobility and lifetime on grain doping is also investigated. This model is implemented through a simulation program in order to optimize conversion efficiency while varying thickness and doping profile in the base region of the cell. Compared with n(+)-p standard structure, our proposed structure shows a 43% improvement in conversion efficiency for a polycrystalline solar cell.
