The invention discloses a fine
simulation method of a CdTe-based II-VI group compound
thin film solar cell and a
cell structure designed based on the method. According to the method, a
physical model of a CdTe-based battery is established through numerical
simulation, then the energy band structure of a carrier
transport layer is systematically optimized, and the quantitative criteria that a
hole transport layer needs to meet the requirements that the
Fermi energy level is lower than that of an
absorption layer and the
hole transport layer has enough positive
conduction band offset and an
electron transport layer needs to have a
wide band gap and moderate positive
conduction band offset are determined. And for the
optical layer, the optimal thickness of the antireflection layer is determined, the enhancement effect of the
optical path gain of the textured structure on optical absorption is quantified, and the maximization of the light capture efficiency is realized. According to the method, through electrical-
optical coupling simulation, the CdTe-based
solar cell structure of which the conversion efficiency is remarkably improved can be accurately predicted and guided to be designed, the defects that a traditional experiment is high in
trial and error cost and long in period are effectively overcome, and a reliable theoretical design and optimization tool is provided for research and development of a high-efficiency and low-cost CdTe-based
solar cell.
