Abstract

Plasmonic Au nanoparticles were deposited on ITO on the surface of silicon heterojunction solar cells by pulsed laser deposition method, where their densities were controlled through the number of laser pulses used. The effect of Au nanoparticle on the photovoltaic characteristics of solar cells - especially the short circuit current, was investigated. It was found that a maximum gain of a short-circuit current (-5.5%) can be obtained using 6 laser pulses. Both surface density and the average size of the Au nanoparticles have effect on the generated photocurrent.
