Check the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) for snapshots of the UGent SCAPS page. Or contact Prof. Marc Burgelman’s group directly via email (address on UGent site).
Even without a formal checksum, following the first three steps will ensure that you are using a verified, safe copy of SCAPS‑1D.
For further assistance, refer to the official manual (available on the download page) or contact the development team directly. Happy simulating!
To help you get started with your modeling project, tell me:
Model graded bandgap structures, which are critical for high-efficiency CIGS cells.

is the latest iteration of this powerful one-dimensional numerical modeling tool, developed at the University of Gent, Belgium. Whether you are optimizing Perovskite solar cells, ensuring you have a verified download is critical for data integrity and academic citation. How to Get Your Verified SCAPS 3.3.10 Download
is the gold standard for researchers simulating thin-film heterojunction solar cells. Version
Once you have secured your verified download, the first step is to load one of the "definition files" (.def) included in the package. These templates provide a baseline for CIGS or CdTe cells, allowing you to tweak parameters immediately and see the resulting J-V curves and Quantum Efficiency (QE) plots.
