Title Modeling and simulation of Organic solar cell consisting of Nanoscale Layers and Films by Using Silvaco ATLAS Software
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Organic Photovoltaic, Simulation, Silvaco, ATLAS
Abstract An organic photovoltaic device (OPV) with poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) absorber layer was designed and simulated using SILVACO ATLAS software. The effective area of the cell was 6 mm2. Langevin recombination, a.singlet and s.binding models were used to simulate this device. Under an illumination of one Sun (AM 1.5G, 100 mW/cm2), the simulated cell showed an open-circuit voltage of 0.32 V, a short-circuit current density of 0.07 mA/cm2 and a fill factor of 29.5%, resulting to a power conversion efficiency of 0.005%.
