Abstract

In this study, a heterojunction (P⁺ a-SiC/i intrinsic/n-Si) solar cell has been examined and characterized using the Analysis of Microelectronics and Photonic Structures (AMPS-1D) simulator. In this heterojunction solar cell, an intrinsic layer is imposed to enhance the efficiency and performance. The optimum efficiency of 36.52% ( V, mA/cm², and ) has been achieved with this intrinsic layer. It has also been observed the solar cell without intrinsic layer. In this case, the maximum efficiency of 2.378% has been observed which is very poor. The heterojunction solar cell also has been investigated with electron blocking layer (EBL) and defect layer. In this case, the simulation result shows the lower efficiency (34.357%) than the previous. This research paper introduces an optimized model of a heterojunction solar cell enhanced with an intrinsic layer to improve efficiency. The proposed design shows significant promise in its theoretical framework. Looking forward, the design could be realized in laboratory settings and has the potential to be scaled up for broader applications.

转换效率最大化：采用 AMPS-1D 的 P+ a-SiC/i 接口/n-Si 异质结太阳能电池的数值分析

本研究使用微电子和光子结构分析（AMPS-1D）模拟器对异质结（P+ a-SiC/i 本征/n-Si）太阳能电池进行了研究和表征。在这种异质结太阳能电池中，施加了本征层以提高效率和性能。利用本征层实现了 36.52% 的最佳效率（V、mA/cm2 和）。此外，还观察了不含本征层的太阳能电池。在这种情况下，观察到的最高效率为 2.378%，非常低。此外，还研究了带有电子阻挡层（EBL）和缺陷层的异质结太阳能电池。在这种情况下，模拟结果显示效率（34.357%）比前一种低。本研究论文介绍了一种优化的异质结太阳能电池模型，该模型通过增强本征层来提高效率。所提出的设计在其理论框架中显示了巨大的前景。展望未来，该设计可在实验室环境中实现，并有可能扩大应用范围。
