Abstract :
In this paper, nanopore texturing surface is systematically investigated and optimized via simulation for silicon thin film photovoltaic application, where the optical characteristics are closely correlated with the nanopore structural parameters. The result provides an additional design guideline of nanostructure surface texturing for photovoltaic applications.
