abstract = {n this work, we report on the prototyping of thin-film
silicon tandem solar cells with periodic light-trapping
textures. Our approach combines an industrial applicable
nano-imprint process, for the fabrication of advanced light
management concepts, with state-of-the-art thin film silicon
solar cell technology. In a joint experimental effort
between project partners of the European thin-film silicon
project “Fast-Track”, we demonstrate that optimal
periodic light-trapping nano-textures at the front-side of a
multi-junction solar cell enhance the power conversion
efficiency of the device in comparison to solar cells with
conventional textured TCO (transparent conductive oxide)
front contacts from $11.7\%$ to $12.1\%.$ This improved
power conversion efficiency is mainly driven by an
enhancement of the short-circuit current density through the
use of periodic light-trapping nano-textures.},
