Abstract: This paper presents a detailed performance analysis of silicon solar cells using the SILVACO TCAD software. Silicon, a widely used material in photovoltaic technology, is known for its durability, efficiency, and low maintenance. This simulation utilizes precise mesh generation through similar X and Y mesh parameters providing accurate modeling of critical device regions. SILVACO TCAD offers a comprehensive platform for designing solar cell structures, specifying material properties, and including advanced physical models, such as Shockley-Read-Hall recombination and Auger recombination. Under typical AM1.5 lighting circumstances, key performance indicators such as consistency, filling factor, no-load voltage, and maximum current density are retrieved. And spectral response of the device is analyzed by evaluating the internal photoelectric efficiency and spectral responsive in terms of photon count across a range in wavelengths. This study highlights the importance of simulation tools in analyzing photovoltaic device performance and advancing the development of efficient solar technologies.
