Improvement of Silicon Nanowire-Based Photovoltaic Solar Cell with the Integration of CIGS Quantum Wells
Résumé
The present work focuses on the modeling and simulation of a new photovoltaic solar cell based on a CIGS/Si nanowire. The study of the effect of inserting quantum wells in a nanowire structure for different characteristic parameters has been done to evaluate the potential of the confinement phenomenon. The best results of the solar cell are obtained with a number of 14 quantum wells integrated in a Si nanowire-based solar cell with an efficiency of 3.16%, FF of 73.50%, Voc equal to 0.41 V and Jsc equal to 10.50 mA/cm2.
