A NUMERICAL SIMULATION ON ZINC SULFIDE (ZnS) BUFFER LAYER IN CuInS2 BASED THIN FILM SOLAR CELL

摘要

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is the most suitable candidates for the CuInS2 among of the corresponding alternatives buffer layer. In this paper, the simulated performance of the baseline model of conventional CdS buffered-CuInS2 based thin film solar cell is proven with the performance of fabricated model. This method of simulation uses the experimental data from literature and an adequate fitting procedure. Meanwhile, the effect of the ZnS and the widths of buffer layer (CdS and ZnS) with the focus on energy diagram have been investigated.
