For the-se re-a-sons, a gre-at deal of at-ten-tion is de-vo-ted to im-pro-ving the-ir cha-rac-te-ri-stics and espe-ci-ally the-ir ef-fi-ci-ency. One of the many ap-pro-ac-hes in-clu-des HIT so-lar cells (he-te-ro-jun-ction so-lar cell with an in-trin-sic thin amorp-ho-us layer) fa-bri-ca-ted at tem-pe-ra-tu-res be-low 300oC. In this pa-per, the elec-tri-cal cha-rac-te-ri-stics of HIT so-lar cells are si-mu-la-ted by using the TCAD Sil-va-co soft-wa-re pac-ka-ge. The struc-tu-re of HIT so-lar cell is op-ti-mi-zed in or-der to ob-tain the-ir ma-xi-mum ef-fi-ci-ency. In ad-di-tion, the mo-di-fi-ca-ti-ons of the si-mu-la-tion pro-ce-du-re, which al-low the si-mu-la-tion of HIT so-lar cell, are de-scri-bed. %K so-lar cells %K he-te-ro-jun-ction %K amorp-ho-us/crystal-li-ne si-li-con %K si-mu-la-tion %U http://www.savremenimaterijali.info/sajt/doc/file/casopisi/SM1_2/14-bjelopavlic.pdf
