The antireflection coating (ARC) suppresses surface light loss and thus improves the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of solar cells, which is its essential function. This paper reviews the latest applications of antireflection optical thin films in different types of solar cells and summarizes the experimental data.
The standard antireflection coating (ARC) for silicon solar cells is a thin layer of Silicon Nitride (SiN x) deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD). It is typically optimized for minimum reflectance at a wavelength of 600 nm. As a single layer antireflection coating, it has larger reflection at other wavelengths.
This paper reviews the latest applications of antireflection optical thin films in different types of solar cells and summarizes the experimental data. Basic optical theories of designing antireflection coatings, commonly used antireflection materials, and their classic combinations are introduced.
