Efficient light trapping structure in thin film silicon solar cells

Thin film silicon solar cells are believed to be promising candidates for continuing cost reduction in photovoltaic panels because silicon usage could be greatly reduced. Since silicon is an indirect bandgap semiconductor, its absorption coefficient is low for photons in the wavelength ranges betwee...
