Boosting the electrical performance of solar cells by using PIN diode structure with different layout styles controlled by MOS capacitor
In this study, an innovative solar cell (SC) design is proposed and analyzed using the Sentaurus Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) simulator. Departing from conventional rectangular architecture, a half-circular geometry is introduced to improve light absorption and enhance electrical performance. The simulation framework models the solar cell’s behavior under standard test conditions, incorporating realistic material properties and stratified layer structures. Key electrical performance metrics, Fill Factor (FF), and conversion Efficiency are evaluated. The results demonstrate that the half-circular configuration achieves an energy conversion efficiency of 15.33 %, and an FF of 74.2 %. This work lays the groundwork for future experimental validation and encourages the investigation of alternative geometries to improve photovoltaic device performance further.
