Simulation of CZTSSe single solar cells by AFORS-HET software by Buthina M. Jandary, Ayed N. Saleh

“…CdS was selected a buffer because it improves the interface with absorbent CZTSSe and has a lofty  sending  in the blue wavelength. at thickness =1 μm and acceptor concentration (Na=7.9×1015 cm-3) ,a maximum efficiency  (η=11.9%)  is provided  with an open-circuit voltage (Voc=688mv), short-circuit current (Jsc=24.6 mA.cm-2) and fill factor (FF =70.8 of the CZTS solar cell, and Voc=(597 mv), Jsc= (41.7mA.cm-2), FF = (81.2 %) and η= (20.2%) of the CZTSe solar cell. …”
