Abstract

The ability to maximize the reflectance losses due to silicon is of paramount importance in the design, fabrication, and operation of silicon solar cells. Optimally designed antireflection coatings are required to improve photon collection in solar cells. For efficient performance, solar cells need to have low reflectance and high absorptance in the visible to near-infrared region. In this study, reflectance due to varying thicknesses of various dielectrics such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon dioxide (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), magnesium fluoride (MgF2), and silicon nitride (Si3N4) has been simulated in the range of visible to near infrared by mathematical modelling using MATLAB simulations. The results of the evolution of spectral properties, as a function of dielectric material thickness, on silicon substrates are presented.
