Plasmonic light trapping in thin film silicon solar cells is a promising route to achieve high efficiency with reduced volumes of semiconductor material. In this paper, we study the enhance…
Photocurrent enhancement in thin a-Si:H solar cells via plasmonic light trapping
Photocurrent enhancement in thin a-Si:H solar cells due to the plasmonic light trapping is investigated, and correlated with the morphology and the optical properties of the selfassembled silver nanoparticles incorporated in the cells' back reflector. © 2014 OSA.
