Abstract
In this work the influence of surface recombination on the optimum thickness and the limiting efficiency of silicon solar cells with optical confinement is studied. To this extent a model is set up for the carrier generation rate as a function of depth in cells with a Lambertian back side reflector. This model is then incorporated into a one dimensional solar cell simulator and current-voltage characteristics are calculated. Results of these calculations are shown as a function of cell thickness, for different surface recombination velocities and for different cell acceptance angles.
