HIT solar cell using ZnTe as an emitter layer

This work is concentrated on a new structure of HIT solar cell using Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) material along with a-Si and c-Si. The proposed structure ITO/ZnTe(p)/a-Si(i)/c-Si(n)/a-Si(n)/ITO is modeled and observed a Significant solar cell efficiency of 27.7%. The thicknesses of the layers are varied to show the relation between the thickness and the performance of the solar cell. The HIT solar structure is developed in AFORS-HET Simulating tool.
