Abstract
The intermediate band (IB) solar cells is one of the candidates to realize a higher conversion efficiency than the Shockley-Queisser limit of single-junction solar cells. By using device simulation of intermediate solar cells developed based on drift-diffusion method, we studied the fundamental properties of IB cell. Light concentration technique is very important to reduce the recombination via IB.
