Description

A kind of method for preparing porousness precursor layer and absorbed layer thin film planarization
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method for preparing porousness precursor layer and absorbed layer thin film planarization, belong to the solar cell photovoltaic field.
Background technology
The global energy demand is climbed to a higher point year by year, and under energy-conservation and environmental consciousness came back, the development renewable energy resources were the common target in the whole world; With the renewable energy resources, no matter waterpower, wind-force, geothermal power generation, all need to obtain conversion efficiency with the kinetic energy conversion regime, solar power generation is to utilize sunlight to convert the electricity generation system of electric energy to,, without moving part,, unlike using rotary machine in the electricity generation systems such as wind-force, waterpower, underground heat, therefore do not have the puzzlements such as HTHP and noise in solar power system, not causing environmental pressure in power generation process, is a green energy resource cleanly.In addition, the characteristic that solar source is inexhaustible, make solar power system can have the large advantage of one of continuous utilization; Although the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar power generation is still not high now, it is its advantage that solar power system need not expend extra energy cost, and in other words, these energy that originally by people, do not utilized have the part ratio now as power source.The sun shines the energy on earth's surface every day, surpasses 30 years needed energy of the whole mankind, and solar cell has become the main flow of following alternative energy source.
The kind of solar cell is numerous, and CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells has high conversion efficiency and development potentiality and is attracted attention, at present the high conversion efficiency of CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells is created by U.S.'s renewable energy resources laboratory (NREL), and its efficiency has reached 20%.CIGS develops so far conversion efficiency from nineteen ninety-five and has improved and have fully 7% more than, compared to CdTe in the same time 4%, monocrystalline silicon and polysilicon be respectively 3% and amorphous silicon 1%, be enough to find out the development potentiality of CIGS on conversion efficiency.CIGS belongs to polycrystalline yellow copper structure (Chalcopyrite) compound of I-III-VI family, a kind ofly by II-VI compounds of group zincblende lattce structure (Zinc-Blend Structure), derived and the semi-conducting material that comes, unit cell storehouse by two zincblende forms, the lattice position that belongs to II family element originally is replaced and is formed by I family and III family, and the inner In of chalcopyrite lattice position of living in can be the Ga element that is added and replaces.CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) has the P-type characteristic of semiconductor of direct gap (Direct band-gap) character, and quite high absorption coefficient of light α (α=10 are arranged 4~ 10 5cm -1), be 100 times of monocrystalline silicon, can contain most solar spectrum, compare with other solar cell,, therefore only need the thickness of 1 ~ 3 μ m, can absorb the incident sunlight more than 99%.At present the high conversion efficiency of CIGS thin-film solar cells is created by U.S.'s renewable energy resources laboratory (NREL), and its efficiency has reached 20%.And NREL shows in assessment report in 2011, and CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) can up grow up with annual 0.3% on conversion efficiency.
CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells development so far its modular construction roughly part formed with substrate (SS/GLASS/PET) by top electrode (AL/Ni), anti-reflecting layer (MgF2), optical window layer (AZO/ITO), resilient coating (CdS), absorbed layer (CIGS), back electrode (Mo), in single rete, the parameter allotment that each material composition compares, the film crystal structure, the processing procedure mode is the challenge in its preparation with various factorss such as optimizing processing procedure, in addition, also need consider that each rete is stacked into the matching of assembly, the many factors such as influence each other between each Film preparation mode and processing procedure, especially show that from pertinent literature CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) is for extremely responsive for component influences under various process parameter, more increase the difficulty of CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells in preparation, simultaneously also make the technology door relatively improve, think at international photovoltaic circle a kind of solar cell that technical difficulty is larger.
Target is to have solid shape to be used for the mother metal of sputter coating.If target can be divided into metal and pottery two large classes simply according to materials classification, if according to the processing procedure classification, usually can generally divide into melting processing procedure and the large class of powder metallurgy processing procedure two.The factors such as the most metals target is adopted the melting processing procedure, and minority target grain size when using is controlled, alloy composition fusing point gap is too large just adopt the powder metallurgy processing procedure.Generally adopt vacuum induction melting to allocate composition for metal or alloy target material, and the machining mode such as the forging of process back segment and heat treatment obtain required target., as touch screen, integrated circuit, liquid crystal display screen, building glass, blooming and thin-film solar cells etc., be to obtain large-area uniformity and production in present photoelectricity and semiconductor industry, relevant film all uses the vacuum magnetic control sputter process in a large number.
The multi-element compounds solar cell is for being belonged to most at present one of purpose material, be that can its composition regulation and control to carry out with solar battery obsorbing layer that I family-III family-IV family was formed can be change and reach best photoelectric conversion efficiency, wherein, I family is copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), III family is aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), IV family is sulphur (S), selenium (Se), antimony (Te), and is the highest with the copper indium gallium selenium solar cell photoelectric conversion efficiency at present.
In the CIGS rete, absorbed layer is the important rete that affects battery efficiency and the mode of production, and absorbed layer generally uses vacuum evaporation and vacuum magnetic control sputter to add the heat treated two kinds of main processing procedures of rear selenizing, has the large tracts of land film forming and obtains better inhomogeneity characteristic.Typical case's CIGS solar cell is Mo (molybdenum dorsum electrode layer)/CIGS (CuInGaSe absorbed layer)/CdS (cadmium sulfide resilient coating)/ZnO+AZO (zinc oxide with mix aluminum zinc oxide optical window layer)/Al (aluminium upper electrode layer) from lower to upper according to base material, general dorsum electrode layer, optical window layer are adopted the vacuum splashing and plating mode, resilient coating is adopted chemical waters mode, in each rete of modular construction, the absorbed layer preparation method is divided into two large classes: 1. vacuum process comprises common evaporation and sputter precursors and selenizing processing procedure; 2. antivacuum processing procedure, comprise plating and coating etc.; Use wherein that to prepare the resilient coating main cause in the chemical bath mode very thick as current stage made absorbed layer surface, needing to reach complete batch of resilient coating by immersion method is overlying on absorbed layer, yet, in whole production CIGS solar cell process, use immersion method processing procedure mode that several restrictions are arranged: 1. do not add for continuous production; 2. large-area uniformity is wayward; 3. need the large water gaging of consumption in immersion method manufacturing process; 4. immersion method uses the chemical solvent subsequent treatment cost high.If can just can not adopt the waters method to do resilient coating the flattening surface of absorbed layer, avoid the discontinuity of producing to enhance productivity and yield, and reduce production costs.
prepare the absorbed layer film for a large amount of and large tracts of land, the processing procedure mode is to adopt sputter precursors and rear selenizing processing procedure at present, wherein, early stage precursors metallic film is designed to single-element or the double base alloying metal adopts the multiple gun sputter, the processing procedure passage is many, time is long and the factor such as low-melting alloy processing procedure unsteadiness arranged, no matter the present invention was that binary (CuGa) predecessor or ternary (CuInGa) predecessor process parameter are mainly to make thin film densification in the past, the filming parameter that uses is being mainly less than 5mtorr aspect work atmosphere pressure, and use the high power plated film, make the plating rate obtain high fine and close rete greater than 10nm/min.But the phosphide element that contains low melting point due to the precursor layer, use the predecessor roughness of film that traditional filming parameter will make to become large (〉 300nm), CIGS surface after the high temperature selenizing can't reach desirable planarization in the future, be unfavorable for the preparation of follow-up resilient coating and optical window layer, and required formation absorbed layer phase change temperature reduces, causing follow-up selenizing can't continue to diffuse in the precursors film reacts, making selenizing not exclusively reach conversion efficiency can't effectively promote, because of above-mentioned former thereby improve manufacturing cost and reduced process rate and productive rate.
