TY - JOUR ID - TI - Analysis of Performance of ZnO/CdS/SnS Solar Cell Using Software Program SCAPS-1D AU - Rasha F. Hasan, Raad A. Rassol PY - 2023 VL - 19 IS - 2 SP - 9 EP - 14 JO - Iraqi Journal of Applied Physics المجلة العراقية للفيزياء التطبيقية SN - 18132065 23091673 AB - Photovoltaic solar cells were analyzed numerically to ascertain whether or not the proposed physical structure was feasible. In this study, the effectiveness of a solar cell made of a CdS window and an SnS absorber was determined. ZnO was incorporated as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). All of the ZnO, CdS and SnS-related programming settings were entered into SCAPS-1D before it was used. The ideal thickness of the SnS absorption layer in a solar cell was determined to be 2 m. The effect of the energy gap on the behaviour of the absorbing layer was studied. Maximum light absorption by solar cells is achieved when their energy gaps are in the sweet spot of the average solar spectrum (about 1.5 MG). Capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics and solar cell performance were also studied to see how they changed with temperature.
