The effect of surface texturization on the thermal and electric characteristics of photovoltaic devices

표면 texturizaton에 따른 photovoltaic device의 열적 전기적 특성

We studied the thermal and electric effect of 2D and 3D p-n photovoltaic diode structures with and without surface texturing. By analyzing the numerical simulation results of I-V characteristics and lattice temperature distributions, we systematically studied the effect of different texturing structures and different doping concentration on the characteristics of the silicon p-n photovoltaic devices. The, efficiency of the device with the surface texturing shows more than ~ 2% enhancement compared to the reference devices without texturing. The tendency of the efficiency of doping concentration has been studied with boron doping of $10^{14}{\sim}10^{17}cm^{-3}$ and phosphorus doping of $10^{15}cm^{-3}$. In addition to that, the study of changing phosphorus doping of $10^{15}{\sim}10^{18}cm^{-3}$ with boron doping of $10^{14}cm^{-3}$ has been examined. It has been shown that the texturing structure not only improves the light trapping but also plays an important role in the heat radiation.
