Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper reports on the optimization of fabrication parameters of a heterojunction silicon solar cell using computer simulations and comparison of the simulation data with experimental results. The optimization of the photovoltaic devices was performed with respect to the thicknesses of amorphous silicon layers. As a result, a reasonable correlation between the simulation data and experimental results is observed within the acceptable margin of error with respect to heterojunction silicon solar cells with efficiency exceeding 20%.
