Abstract:Using Matlab software to calculate the spectral response of amorphous silicon thin film based on the intrinsic absorption, simulations were carried out on the spectral response of the films composed by a number of amorphous silicon thin films with different band gaps. And an amorphous silicon film with gradient bandgap was designed. Simulation results indicate that the designed silicon thin film can not only effectively broaden the spectral response range, but also improve the response value on the respective wavelengths.
