Abstract
The binary semiconductor compound Molybdenum telluride (MoTe 2 ) is For high efficiency and better thermal stability, Molybdenum telluride (MoTe 2 ) is considered as potential solar cell. AMPS (Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structures) simulator is used to investigate the cell performance parameters for ultra-thin MoTe 2 PV cell. In this research work, it has been explored that the cell conversion efficiency of MoTe 2 PV cell is improved with the insertion of Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) as back surface field (BSF) above the back contact metal. The highest conversion efficiency of 25.29% was found for ZnTe BSF with only 0.7 µm of absorber layer whereas it was 17.06% for no BSF with 1 µm thickness of absorber layer. The thermal stability of MoTe 2 PV cell with ZnTe BSF showed better stability.
