Abstract EN
Metal nanodimension structures have multiple applications in modern technology.
Noncontinuous thin island metal films of several types of metals deposited on dielectric or semiconductor surface introduce a unique behavior.
In response to light exposure in certain range, the metal islands present a resonant absorption of light accompanied with a collective behavior of free electrons in these islands.
In this paper, we present one of the possible ways to increase the efficiency of solar cells with metal islands imbedded in a semiconductor junction.
Rough calculation was performed for a silicon solar cell and showed an increase of 17.5% in the overall efficiency of the cell.
