Abstract

The optical absorption properties of the thin-film solar cell (SC) is an important manifestation of its performance. Finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method is employed to discretize the Maxwell´s equations for the designed structure. The relationship between the absorbed power density with the design structure and the incident angle were deeply explored. Our numerical results can provide a reference for the design and optimization of thin film solar cells.
