초록
본 연구에서는 기본적인 평면 태양 전지 구조에 1차원 주기를 가지는 에미터 전극 배치를 통해 광학 및 전기적 효율을 최적화 하는 설계방법을 제안한다. 에미터 전극의 주기가 줄어들면 애퍼처 비율이 감소해 빛 흡수율이 줄어들어 태양 전지 성능 저하에 영향을 끼친다. 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션을 통해 가장 간단한 평판형 태양 전지 구조 내에서 에미터 전극 배열의 최적안을 제시 하였다. 광학적 측면에서 에미터 전극이 없이 광흡수층 전면에서의 광흡수를 하는 레퍼런스 소자와 성능이 유사한 조건을 도출했 다. 그리고 광흡수 및 전기적 효율 측면을 모두 고려하여 가장 효과적인 전극 구조를 제안하였다. 본 연구 결과는 광전 변환으로 생성된 전하를 전극으로 가장 효율적으로 전달할 수 있는 구조를 제안함으로써, 대체 에너지원에서 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 태양 전지의 활용성을 높이는데 기여할 것이다.
Abstract
In this study, we propose a design method to optimize the electro-optical efficiency of a planar solar cell structure by adjusting one-dimensionally periodic emitter electrodes. Since the aperture ratio of the active layer decreases as the period of the emitter electrode decreases, the amount of light absorption diminishes, affecting the performance of the device. Here we design the optimal structure of the periodic emitter electrode in a simple planar solar cell, by simulation. In terms of optics, we find the condition that shows optical performance similar to that of a reference without the emitter electrode. In addition, the optimized electrode structure is extracted considering both the optical and electrical efficiency. This work will help to increase the utilization of solar cells by suggesting a structure that can most efficiently transfer charge generated by photoelectric conversion to the electrodes.
