Abstract
2 D Silvaco Atlas software is used for the study of a CIGS thin film solar cell in the configuration : ZnO(200 nm)/n-type CdS(50 nm)/ p-type CIGS(350 nm)/Mo. The cell performance is evaluated by implementing the defects created at the grain boundaries of the polycrystalline CdS and CIGS material and at the interface CdS/CIGS.The J-V characteristics and the external quantum efficiency EQE are simulated under AM 1.5 illumination. The conversion efficiency of 20.35% is reached and the other (...)
