- Abstract
- We perform a systematic numerical study to characterize the tradeoff between the plasmonic enhancement and optical loss in periodically aligned, silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays integrated with a silver back reflector (Ag BR). Optimizing the embedded depth of the wire bottoms into a silver reflector achieved a highly efficient SiNW solar cell. Compared to the SiNW solar cell employing a flat back reflector, the embedded depth of similar to 20 nm resulted in the relative increase of similar to 5% in ultimate solar cell efficiency.
