Abstract
We calculated the light trapping effect of nanoimprinted-textured (NT) structure for monocrystalline silicon solar cell using 2-dimentional simulator. Our calculation revealed that the 10 μm width for textured pyramid, in the case of ZnO used as a NT material, produced lower efficiency than the cell without NT structure, due to the light absorbance in the ZnO layer in short length region. On the other hand, ZrO2-NT cell performance showed the highest efficiency of 23 %. In addition, we found the optimized texture width was 0.25 μm for both materials.
