<p><span style=”font-size: 12pt;”>Hi Khash,<\/span><\/p><p><span style=”font-size: 12pt;”>Thank you for your detailed response and suggestions. I have carefully tried all the recommended steps, but unfortunately, the issue persists, and I am still encountering the same error. Here is what I have observed so far:<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n

    <li style=”font-size: 12pt;”><span style=”font-size: 12pt;”>Material Bandgap<\/strong>: I changed TiO\u2082 and MoO\u2083 to Al(0.8)Ga(0.2)As and Al(0.3)Ga(0.7)As, respectively, as suggested. While this allowed the simulation to run without errors, it does not represent my actual device structure, so it doesn’t fully address the issue with my specific model.<\/span><\/li>\n

    <li style=”font-size: 12pt;”><span style=”font-size: 12pt;”>Mesh Refinement<\/strong>: I experimented with both increasing and decreasing the mesh refinement and added local mesh objects targeting TiO\u2082 and MoO\u2083. The error remained despite ensuring the changes were reflected in the generated mesh.<\/span><\/li>\n

    <li style=”font-size: 12pt;”><span style=”font-size: 12pt;”>Doping<\/strong>: I verified the doping objects in partition mode and ensured they were applied to the intended regions. I also increased mesh refinement in areas with higher doping, but this did not resolve the problem.<\/span><\/li>\n

    <li style=”font-size: 12pt;”><span style=”font-size: 12pt;”>Imported Generation Profile<\/strong>: I tried using the reduced scaling factor in the import, but the issue still persists. When I tried running the model with the solar generation profile and adjusted the thickness of Al(0.8)Ga(0.2)As and Al(0.3)Ga(0.7)As to 10 nm (matching my ETL and HTL setup) in this (https:\/\/optics.ansys.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360042160334-Thin-film-GaAs-solar-cell) model, the simulation ran without issues. <\/span><\/li>\n

    <li style=”font-size: 12pt;”><span style=”font-size: 12pt;”>Initialization Error<\/strong>: I confirmed that the starting voltage is set to 0 and swept up 1.5 volts with a step size of 0.01. Unfortunately, this did not change the outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you have any additional insights or troubleshooting steps, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Thank you again for your help!<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-398584","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/398584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/398584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":398600,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/398584\/revisions\/398600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
