Random Interfaces

The concept of photonic random textures for application as a light-trapping scheme in thin-film solar cells is introduced. Those textures consist of a randomly textured interface, as commonly applied in thin-film solar cells, which is superimposed with a two-dimensional grating structure. The light-scattering properties of those textures are investigated by scalar scattering theory for transmission into the absorber layer and reflection at the back contact. A quantity to describe the light-trapping efficiency is derived and verified by rigorous diffraction theory. The photonic random textures outperform the random textures and the grating structures significantly.
