SIMULATION OF THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE, DEFECT DENSITY AND ABSORBANT THICKNESS ON CIS BASED SOLAR CELLS WITH SCAPS-1D SOFTWARE

In this paper, the performance of CIS Based solar cells was investigated, using a simulation program named SCAPS-1D Software (Solar Cells Capacitance Simulator). CIS cell structure is based on Cu(In, Ga), (Se,S)2; which is a semiconductor compound as an absorber layer; un-doped Zinc Oxyd (i) ZnO as...
