Abstract
In this study, light trapping of textured silicon solar cell based on light scattering and angle of incident light of plasmonics indium nanoparticles (In NPs) of various dimensions is demonstrated. The light trapping modes of textured surface with and without In NPs for incident angles of 0?, 35.3?, and 54.7? are proposed and characterized. The optical reflectance, external quantum efficiency and photovoltaic performance depended on the dimensions of plasmonics In NPs and angles of incident light are measured and compared. © 2017 IEEE.
