However, Lumerical has some disadvantages and new physics like excitonic behavior can't be added to it :) Join ResearchGate to ask questions, get input, and advance your work.
The present contribution provides an overview of the leading solar cell simulation programs, detailing their scope, availability, and limitations. Notably, advancements in computer capacity and speed have significantly enhanced the features, speed, applications, and availability of these simulators in recent years.
The solar cell simulator package, SETFOS, can be employed to model the electrical and optical properties of semiconductor devices. This powerful and CPU-efficient simulator written in Java was developed by Professor Ruhstaller, Fluxim AG , and specifically designed to create cutting-edge thin-film optoelectronic technologies.
The simulator offers four parameter-driven modules: steady-state, impedance, transient, and loss analysis. The cell's time-dependent characteristics and output power, the transient decay of photocurrent and photovoltage, and the standard measurement of losses due to optical and electrical processes can be accurately modelled by these modules.
