title: Design rules for net absorption enhancement in pseudo-disordered photonic crystal for thin film solar cells.
abstract: The role of pseudo-disordered photonic crystals on the absorption efficiency of simplified thin film crystalline silicon solar cells is presented and discussed. The expected short circuit current can thus be further increased compared to a fully optimized square lattice of holes, thanks to carefully controlled positions of the nanoholes in the considered realistic simplified solar cell stack. In addition, the pseudo-disordered structures are less sensitive to the angle of incidence, especially in the long wavelength range.
