High efficiency silicon solar cells with back ZnTe layer hosting IPV effect: a numerical case study

To get enhanced long-wavelength absorption, an impurity photovoltaic (IPV) mechanism was implemented within a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) at the rear of a solar cell. The numerical simulation of the N+/P (silicon)/IPV-TCO device was carried out by using SCAPS-1D program which allows the inclu...
