    Abstract: This study focuses on optimizing the thickness, doping, and bandgap energy of the Front Surface Field (FSF) layer in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells using predictive simulation with SILVACO-TCAD. SHJ solar cells are known for their high efficiency, low-cost manufacturing, and low-temperature fabrication processes. The FSF layer, typically ... Show More
