초록

본 연구는 페이즈 필드법 기반으로 하는 위상최적화를 이용하여 박막형 태양 전지의 광포획 구조의 반사층 설계를 목표를 하였다. 이를 위하여 입사된 빛이 설계영역인 반사층에서 반사되어 원하는 방향으로 진행하도록 하고자 하였다. 또한 같은 방법을 근적외선 영역의 반사판의 설계에 적용한 적외선 피탐지 구조의 개념 설계를 수행하였으며, 페이즈 필드법 기반의 결과와 밀도법 기반의 결과를 비교하였다. 목적함수는 에너지의 흐름을 나타내는 포인팅 벡터값의 최대화로 설정하였고, 반사된 빛의 방향을 조절하기 위하여 지정된 측정영역에서 값을 측정하였다. 본 연구의 유한요소해석 및 최적화 과정은 상용 프로그램인 COMSOL과 Matlab 프로그램을 이용하여 수행되었다.

This study focused on the design of the reflecting layer of a light trapping system fora thin film solar cell using topology optimization based on the phase field method. Therefore, incident light was caused to propagate in the desired direction by reflecting it from this layer, which is the design domain. The same method was applied to the conceptual design of an infrared stealth structure in near infrared range. The results using the phase field method were compared with those using the density method. The design objective was to maximize the Poynting vector value representing the energy flux, which was measured in a measuring domain to control the reflected wave direction. A finite element analysis and optimization process were performed using the commercial package COMSOL combined with the MATLAB programming.
