Abstract: This paper is concerned with the modelling and simulation of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon optoelectronic devices. The physical model and its mathematical formulation are extensively described. Its numerical reduction is also discussed together with the presentation of a computer program dedicated to the simulation of the electrical behaviour of such devices. This computer program, called ASCA (Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells Analysis), is capable of simulating, on one- and two-dimensional domains, the internal electrical behaviour of multi-layer structures, homojunctions and heterojunctions under simple or complex spectra illumination and externally applied biases.
