Numerical Simulation of CZTSe Based Solar Cells Using Different Back Surface Field Layers: Improvement and Comparison

Rkia El Otmani et al.

Summary: This work focuses on numerical modeling of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin film solar cells and proposes an optimal conventional cell structure as well as improved structures with different highly P-doped materials as back surface field (BSF) layers. The insertion of the BSF layer results in enhanced photovoltaic parameters and reduced recombination rate in the CZTSe absorber.
