Simulation of Planar Solar Cells with Transfer Matrix Method

Full Documentation

This template demonstrates the use of the transfer matrix method (TMM) of TCAD Sentaurus for the calculation of solar cell characteristics: reflectance and transmittance spectra, quantum efficiency, and I-V curves. A planar silicon structure is used in the setup.
