AB  - A new device design of microcrystalline silicon thin-film solar cell allows for approaching the geometric light-trapping limit. The solar cell is based on triangular textured surfaces in combination with optimized front and back contacts with very low optical losses. In comparison to crystalline silicon solar cells with record energy conversion efficiency the material usage of the thin-film solar cells is reduced to 1–2%, while exhibiting the potential to achieve short circuit current densities of more than 80% of their counterparts. The short circuit current density of the thin-film solar cells is approaching the geometric light-trapping limit commonly known as the Yablonovitch limit under perpendicular incidence. The design of the solar cell is described considering the electrical and optical properties of the textured solar cell.
