However, silicon's abundance, and its domination of the semiconductor manufacturing industry has made it difficult for other materials to compete. An optimum silicon solar cell with light trapping and very good surface passivation is about 100 µm thick.
In general, an increase in absorber thickness can result in higher values for two key parameters of the solar cell: short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage. This increase is attributed to the greater absorption of solar light by the solar cell, leading to a higher generation of charge carriers.
The color of the solar cell was controlled bythickness and optical constant of the PEDOT:PSS films. Afterward, the PCBM with 20 mg/ml concentration was spin-coated on the rear side with 2000 rpm for 60 s. Then, the Si substrates were transferred into the high vacuum evaporation system.
Basic schematic of a silicon solar cell. The top layer is referred to as the emitter and the bulk material is referred to as the base. Bulk crystalline silicon dominates the current photovoltaic market, in part due to the prominence of silicon in the integrated circuit market.
Absorber thickness is one among keys parameters that can have significant effects on the performance of the solar cell. An appropriate absorber thickness should be chosen to optimize the performance of the cell.The main objective of this work is to offer a perovskite solar cell with high efficiency using a suitable thickness of the active layer.
Specifically, it is observed that Voc and FF decrease as the thickness increases, primarily due to the rise in series resistance. In general, an increase in absorber thickness can result in higher values for two key parameters of the solar cell: short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage.

The color of perovskite cells can be tuned by varying the thickness, porosity, and composition, hence the bandgap of perovskite film. An increase in perovskite layer thickness mainly affects transmission and leads to a right shift (an increase in the x-chromaticity coordinate) in the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) chart. 38 An increase in porosity results in …
