Abstract
Performance optimization of Graphene-GaAs schottky barrier solar cell have been performed by considering variables such as substrate thickness, Graphene thickness, dependence between graphene work function and transmittance. The optimized parameter was extensively used to numerically model the design using TCAD Atlas. The results show the enhanced performance of the design with the optimized thickness of Graphene (0.3μm) and GaAs (10μm), resulting in significant increase in power conversion efficiency from 0.732% to 2.581% and reasonable fill factor up to 70%. It was further analysed that maximum potential was developed in the vicinity of the anode, which results in better charge collection hence improving the overall performance of the solar cell. The results are validated with the reported experimental work.
