Good light trapping is essential to make high efficiency InGaN-based solar cells. As InGaN wafers are being made increasingly, thinner, light trapping becomes even more important. In this study, we propose a structure of one-dimensional InGaN grating for the InGaN-based solar cells is proposed. The solar energy absorption characteristics of this structure are studied by the the Finite element method (FEM) method. By alternately altering the grating depth and the filling factor, a new type of grating structure is proposed. For such a structure, different gratings are studied. Numerical computation shows that the absorptance of the InGaN grating structure is over 0.88 throughout the entire computational band. The optimum parameters of the proposed structure are period (a = 480 nm), a filling factor (ff = 50 %) and depth (d=210 nm), which indicates the proposed structured surface may have potential applications in solar cells manufacturing.
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.
