Numerical simulations of ultrathin CdTe solar cells with a ZnxCd1−xS window layer and a Cu2O hole transport layer

CdTe solar cells are investigated using a solar cell capacitance simulator software. First, a conventional fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)/i-SnO 2 /CdS/CdTe structure is simulated using input experimental data to verify the simulation process. To make the cell more economical, the thickness of the Cd...

Abstract	CdTe solar cells are investigated using a solar cell capacitance simulator software. First, a conventional fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)/i-SnO 2 /CdS/CdTe structure is simulated using input experimental data to verify the simulation process. To make the cell more economical, the thickness of the CdTe layer is decreased, resulting in a degradation of the device performance. To decrease the minority-carrier recombination loss of the designed structure, a p -type Cu 2 O layer is exploited at the back contact as a hole transport electron blocking layer (HT–EBL). To address the performance degradation, a ZnS/CdS bilayer is used as the window layer. The interdiffusion of Cd into the ZnS due to annealing treatment and the formation of Zn x Cd 1− x S compound are also studied. Cell parameters include the thickness, doping concentration, and carrier lifetime are then optimized to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE). The proposed FTO/i-SnO 2 /Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/CdTe/Cu 2 O configuration shows the best PCE of 17.5%, short-circuit current density ( J sc ) of 27.8 mA/cm 2 , open-circuit voltage ( V oc ) of 0.87 V, and fill factor of 72.34% under AM1.5G illumination.
