I am examining the thin-film GaAs example, and it seems that in the simulation file, the geometry labeled nAlGaAs (with the material defined accordingly) overlaps with the p+ layer, while the pAlGaAs overlaps with the n+ layer. Is this an error? 

When I switched the geometries and the materials accordingly, the efficiency dropped below the figures listed for the ideal case. I'm confused about what's going on. I was having trouble replicating the simulation results as provided in the article. 

Could someone from Ansys clarify this?

Hi Sanjum,

Thank you for reaching out to us! Please note that this is the optics forum and not the photonics where lumerical related questions are posted. For your next lumerical question please post at: Ansys photonics forum. I will go ahead and transfer this post to the photonics forum.

Kind Regards,

Niki

Dear Sanjum,

 

Do you mean the CHARGE simulation file? It seems you are correct and the structure does not correspond to

but to:

I will ask the authors if they can update it.

 

Best regards,
