Abstract—We perform the numerical analysis of a CIGS solar cell parameters such as open circuit voltage, short circuit current, maximum power, fill factor, and external quantum efficiency as a function of absorber layer band gap. These parameters are known to be the key parameters of a solar cell to determine its performance. We change the band gap of the CIGS absorber layer by changing its alloy composition. ATLAS SILVACO is used to construct and simulate the CIGS solar cell structure with standard AM1.5 spectra. The open circuit voltage and the maximum power increase almost linearly ...

Abstract-New integrated optical devices combining an InGaAsP/InP HPT and an inner-stripe LED are proposed and their fabrication processes are described. The device functions of light amplification, optical bistability, and optical switching are demonstrated in the 1-um wavelength region. I. INTRODUCTION MONOLITHIC integration of well-developed discrete devices such as lasers, light-emitting diodes (LED’s), phototransistors, p-i-n diodes, and avalanche photodiodes (APD’s) has been drawing much attention for better performance and higher reliability [ 11, [2]. By integration, on the ...

An effective BSF is a key structural element for an efficient solar cell, either in a multi-junction or in a single-junction device. In this paper, two important materials AlGaAs and InAlGaP with their varied thickness (i.e. 0.05–1.0) μm both for top BSF and bottom BSF cells are investigated using the computational numerical modeling TCAD tool Silvaco ATLAS. It has been found that under the current matching condition with the relatively thinner (30 nm) top BSF layer and the thicker (1,000 nm) bottom BSF layer, the cell exhibit an overall enhancement of short-circuit current density ...

  After discovering the carbon nanotube (CNT) by Aijima, scientific research about this structure are expanded due to its excellent electronic properties. One of the important properties of this structure is quasi-ballistic transport with very high carrier mobility. Using carbon nanotube, two types of field effect transistors have been discussed. The first type is Schottky barrier carbon nanotube field effect transistor (SB-CNTFET) and second type is MOSFET-like CNTFETs (MOSCNTs). The MOSCNT was more favorable because of the high on-off current ratio, but leakage current (IL) of this ...
