3 Contents Introduction Modeling the optimization of Metal contacts. Modeling the tandem cell (SCAPS- 1D). Modeling the tandem cell (Multiphysics ANSYS). 3

4 Objective: Modeling Multi-terminal Tandem Thin Film Solar Cells Introduction Develop an opto-electronic model of the 4-terminal tandem device structure in view of its integration in a module. The complexity of the cell calls for a detailed analysis of the structure. 4

5 Introduction Calculate the Electric Field inside the cell. Use Maxwell equations..d Gauss Law D = ε E (1).B 0 E Faraday Law H Ampere Law 5

6 From Gauss Law and (1).E (2) As no variable magnetic field is present from Faraday Law: E 0 thus the electric field is expressed by the gradient of a potential: E V (3) Substituting (3) in (2):.E. V V which is the Poisson Equation: Introduction V 6

7 Laplacian of V [V/m 2 ] with vacuum permittivity V = x [F/m] Introduction Charge density [C/m 3 ] Permittivity [F/m] or: V Electron charge [C] q = C Particle density [m -3 ] 7

8 The particle density Introduction depends on the concentration of electrons and holes in the semiconductor and on the concentration of donors and acceptors. Typically: + charge in defects) The hole and electron continuity equations are:. Generation rate. Recombination rate 8
