New Vonk Article: "Can you analyse the effect of sunlight on the contact resistance in solar cells by performing simulations in Silvaco?"
While the efficiencies of solar cells rise closer and closer to the efficiency limits, the focus is on eliminating the small factors that cause power loss within the solar cell, by trying all kinds of different cell structures and materials. Such factors can be surface reflection, charge carrier separation and contact resistance. Contact resistance occurs at the interface of two material surfaces. The resistance occurs because of two main contributors. The first contributor is the difference in work function of the two materials.
