The optimization of functional layers of solar cells based on n-ZnMgO / p-CuO and n-ZnMgO / p-Cu2O heterojunctions

Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of the calculations of optical losses in the solar cell layers based on n-ZnMgO / p-CuO(p-Cu2O) heterojunctions with AZO and ITO front contacts. The calculations were carried out considering of light absorption in the auxiliary layers of the device. Thus, the spectral dependencies of transmittance in the absorber layer of solar cell were defined. It is made possible to optimize the design of the solar cells based on such heterojunctions.
