Modeling and Analysis Tool for Silicon Substrate Solar Cells
The flexible material database of Crosslight allows for easy creation of mobility and lifetime data for Si and poly Si as functions of impurity concentration and grain size. It enables device simulation in conjunction with process simulation. The simulation results for Si rear-contacted cells (RCC) match experimental results. By using Crosslight's 2D/3D ray tracing module, simulations that take into account the complex structures and surface states of solar cells can be performed. A PERT cell device with n contact on the surface and buried n contact in the texture and coating was simulated, and the results were selected and presented.
