1 INTRODUCTION. Forty years after Eli Yablonovitch submitted his seminal work on the statistics of light trapping in silicon, 1 the topic has remained on the forefront of solar cell research due to the prevalence of silicon in the photovoltaic (PV) industry since its beginnings in the 1970s. 2, 3 Despite the rise of a plethora of alternative technologies, more than 90% of
Doubling the light intensity doubled the number of electrons emitted, but did not affect the kinetic energies of the emitted electrons. The more powerful oscillating field ejected more electrons, but the maximum individual energy of the ejected electrons was the same as for the weaker field (Figure 1.3.2 ).

When the input light intensity of silicon photocell is constant, the relationship between the output voltage and current of the photocell along with the change of load resistance is called the volt ampere characteristic.

The basic principle of light trapping is to prevent light that has entered the solar cell from leaving it again and thus increasing the probability of it being absorbed. These can be realised by two effects simultaneously, including 1) diffraction or scattering by surface textures which can change the direction of the incident light

We extend a commonly used analytical model of light trapping in silicon solar cells, which was introduced by Basore in 1993, by including secondary reflections on the surrounding. The extension enables more accurate measurements of bifacial solar cells by analytically decoupling the properties of the background (chuck) and the sample.

When used as a light sensor, a photodiodes dark current (0 lux) is about 10uA for geranium and 1uA for silicon type diodes. When light falls upon the junction more hole/electron pairs are formed and the leakage current increases. This leakage current increases as the illumination of the junction increases. Thus, the photodiodes current is directly proportional to

3. Results and discussion The schematic drawing of the silicon-based thin film solar cell textured by SiSNH array, and the parameters of the array structure, such as period P, Dtop, bottom diameter ( Dbot ), the hole depth of SiSNH array ( L) and the film thickness of SiSNH array ( T ), are shown in Fig. 1 (a)– (c).
In comparison, previous work displayed that the silicon thin film solar cells decorated by nanopillar with 800 nm thick silicon film and a periodicity constant of 500 nm only can yield an ultimate photoelectric conversion efficiency of 27% .
Therefore, the incident light is perpendicularly projected onto the silicon thin film surface with the photon energy varied from 1.1 to 4.0 eV, covering the major solar spectrum in interest. Fig. 1.

However, as an indirect semiconductor, silicon exhibits weak absorption for infrared photons and the efficient absorption of the full above bandgap solar spectrum requires careful photon management.
Another approach to achieve light trapping in silicon solar cells is the use of reflective external light-trapping structures with length scales larger than the involved wavelengths. Such structures can be modeled employing geometrical optics.
