Abstract

Anti-reflection coating (ARC) plays an important role in reducing the reflection of incident light and absorbing more photons to produce more photoelectrons. In this paper, a single-layer TiO2 anti-reflection coating is performed on GaAs solar cells. In the simulation study, we compared the solar cell before and after ARC by using PC1D simulation software. The I–V characteristics, reflectance, and external quantum efficiency have been simulated with a refractive index of 2.324 at 600 nm wavelength. The simulated results show that the ARC-coated solar cell performs better. It is found that the power conversion efficiency of 24.75% reflection is 9.5%, and the EQE is 95% at the 62 nm thickness of the ARC layer. The optimized reflectivity was found to be around 5%, which is quite lower than that without ARC (32%).
