We propose a hybrid nanostructure that comprises nanopyramids and nanoholes for thin film silicon (Si) solar cells. The hybrid structure demonstrates a stronger light trapping ability that is beyond the Lambertian limit. This is achieved with the smaller dimension nanohole structure which effectivel...
