Simulation of Organic Solar Cell at Different Active Layer Thickness

The J-V characteristics of organic hetero junction solar cell of different active layer thicknesses have been simulated by AMPS-1D software. A composite of P3HT: PCBM is used as photo active layer material, sandwiched between a transparent ITO electrode and Al back side contact. The simulation results clearly demonstrated that the dark J-V characteristics and electric field across the junction of hetero junction solar cell are affected by the active layer thickness.
