Abstract

A simulation of the AZO/i-ZnO/CdS/CFTS solar cell was carried out using SCAPS software. The results were obtained (Voc=0.55 V, Jsc=6.2 mA/cm², FF=39 %, ɳ=1.35 %). Simulation results were compared with experimental research and we got convergence in the results (Voc=0.56 V, Jsc=6.5 mA/cm², FF=37 %, ɳ=1.37 %). The simulated solar cell is improved by increasing the doping concentration and thickness of the buffer and absorption layers. The efficiency of the solar cell was improved to ɳ=4.29%, fill factor FF=52.92%, open circuit voltage Voc=0.74 V and short circuit current Jsc=10.8 mA/cm²
