摘要：
In this paper, we present a theoretical model for the optimization of multilayer anti-reflection coatings for PEDOT:PSS/c-Si heterojunction solar cell based on optical interference transfer-matrix theory. A comprehensive idea of designing multilayer anti-reflection coatings (ARCs) on the solar cell and minimization of the overall reflectance is provided in this work. Optical reflectance values for various single, double and three layer anti-reflection coatings on PEDOT:PSS deposited c-Si substrate have been deduced using a MATLAB program and compared with that of the measured value. The reflectance value is calculated to be lower than 4% in the visible wavelength spectra for ARC by alternately using high and low refractive index materials. This low value of reflectance suggests that the anti-reflection coating layers proposed in this study can be employed as the standard ARC materials for optical coatings of the PEDOT:PSS/c-Si heterojunction solar cells.
