The application of submicron grating structure for light trapping in thin silicon solar cells has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. A gain in absorption corresponding to an increase in thickness of more than a factor of 4 for polarized light and about 3 for unpolarized light has been demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
