Abstract :
Using SCAPS-1D software, a highly efficient
SnS thin film solar cell has been explored and simulated
in this study. A promising material for thin-film solar
cells, Tin Sulfide (SnS) is non-toxic, abundant on Earth,
inexpensive, and readily available. The optical
characteristics that make up an excellent absorber layer,
such as a band gap of roughly 1.6 eV and a high
absorption coefficient more than 104 cm-1, etc. This
study analyzes how the thickness of the buffer and
absorber layers affects the efficiency of solar cells. Due to
its significant hazardous impact on the environment, this
article aimed to discourage the use of cadmium in the
production of solar cells. Numerous photovoltaic
parameters have been determined using ZnSe as a buffer
layer. Efficiency (η), Fill Factor (FF), Open-circuit
Voltage (Voc), Short-circuit current (Jsc), Voltage vs
Junction Capacitance characteristics and other
parameters have been examined in this work by altering
the thickness of the absorber layer between 3 and 8 µm
and the thickness of the buffer layer between 0.05 and 0.5
µm. When the absorber layer thickness
