ABSTRACTA study on light absorption enhancement of an InAs quantum dots embedded into InxGa1-xAs quantum well with GaAs as a barrier solar cells was carried out. Solar cell devices were fabricated from different structures, which were grown by using molecular beam epitaxy, with the In mole fraction (x) varied between 0 – 25 %. Poly-L-Lysine ligands and ZnO sol-gel was used to modify the surface of the solar cells and act as anti-reflection coatings. The anti-reflection characteristic of the ligands and the sol-gel were investigated by measuring the solar cell characteristics before and after the solar cells surface modifications. The current-voltage characteristics were measured of the fabricated solar cells before and after Poly-L-Lysine and ZnO coatings. A significant enhancement on the order of 40 % of the solar cells performance was observed. This type of enhancement was observed in the power conversion efficiency, spectral response measurements, and external quantum efficiency.

A numerical simulation study accounting for trap and defect effects on the current-voltage characteristics of a 4H-SiC-based power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is performed in a wide range of temperatures and bias conditions. In particular, the most penalizing native defects in the starting substrate (i.e., EH6/7 and Z1/2) as well as the fixed oxide trap concentration and the density of states (DoS) at the 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface are carefully taken into account. The temperature-dependent physics of the interface traps are considered in detail. Scattering phenomena related to the joint contribution of defects and traps shift the MOSFET threshold voltage, reduce the channel mobility, and penalize the device current capabilities. However, while the MOSFET on-state resistance (RON) tends to increase with scattering centers, the sensitivity of the drain current to the temperature decreases especially when the device is operating at a high gate voltage (VGS). Assuming the temperature ranges from 300 K to 573 K, RON is about 2.5 MΩ·µm2 for VGS > 16 V with a percentage variation ΔRON lower than 20%. The device is rated to perform a blocking voltage of 650 V.

Semiconductor materials cadmium sulfide (CdS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) are employed in the fabrication of thin film solar cells of relatively excessive power conversion efficiency and low producing price. Simulations of thin film CdS/CdTe solar cell were carried out using SCAPS-1D. The influence of temperature field on the variation of CdTe solar cell parameters such as current–voltage, capacitance–voltage characteristics and the external quantum efficiency was investigated theoretically. For use temperatures, one obtains the external quantum efficiency has the same profiles. However, the effect of the temperature on the Mott-Schottky curves is slightly noted by variations on the characteristics. This conclusion can be used by solar cell manufacturers to improve the solar cell parameters with the biggest possible gain in device performance.

Natural dyes extracted from black rice are used as sensitizer for dye sensitized solar cell. The anthocyanin extracted with various pH in acidic and neutral coditions. Preparation of fotolectrode TiO2 film using doctor blade method and resulting average grain size 33,9 nm using X-Ray Diffractometer. Characterization of morphology and cross-section film TiO2 is confirmed by Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM). Optical absorption using UV-Visible Spectroscopy to obtain spectrum absorbance of anthocyanin in various pH. The current-voltage (J-V) characterization shows the performance DSSC have a match relation to the optical absorption. The best absorption of anthocyanin obtained at pH 6 as well as conversion efficiency reaches 2.26% at this pH condition.
