Interference effects observed in ultra-thin c-si solar cells: modeling and experiment
Interference effects observed in ultra-thin c-si solar cells: modeling and experiment
A crystalline silicon solar cell with an ultra-thin active silicon layer of 200 nm has been fabricated from SOI wafers. The cell was fully characterised electrically by measuring the I-V and spectral response measurements and optically by ellipsometry. The spectral response of the cell showed interference effects due to multiple reflections from the different layers within the cell structure. A mathematical model was developed based on multilayer film theory to account for the different reflections and transmissions with the cell structure. The theoretical spectral response predictions reproduced excellently the essential features of the measured spectral response.

Abstract
A crystalline silicon solar cell with an ultra-thin active silicon layer of 200 nm has been fabricated from SOI wafers. The cell was fully characterised electrically by measuring the I-V and spectral response measurements and optically by ellipsometry. The spectral response of the cell showed interference effects due to multiple reflections from the different layers within the cell structure. A mathematical model was developed based on multilayer film theory to account for the different reflections and transmissions with the cell structure. The theoretical spectral response predictions reproduced excellently the essential features of the measured spectral response.
