Background technology
Global energy requirements is climbed to a higher point year by year, and under energy-conservation and environmental consciousness come back, the development renewable energy resources are global common target; With the renewable energy resources, no matter waterpower, wind-force, geothermal power generation, all need obtain conversion efficiency with kinetic energy conversion regime, solar power generation is then the electricity generation system utilizing sunlight to convert electric energy to, without moving part in solar power system, rotary machine must be used unlike in the electricity generation systems such as wind-force, waterpower, underground heat, therefore not have the puzzlement such as HTHP and noise, in power generation process, do not cause environmental pressure, be a cleanly green energy resource.In addition, the characteristic that solar source is inexhaustible, makes 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 does not need to expend extra energy cost, and in other words, these are not had fraction as power source by the energy that people utilize originally now.The sun is irradiated to the energy on earth's surface every day, and exceed the energy required for the whole mankind 30 years, solar cell has become the main flow of following alternative energy source.Estimating to global energy in 2100 uses the utilance of solar energy to reach 60%.
The huge number of solar cell, and CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells has high conversion efficiency and development potentiality and is attracted attention, the most high conversion efficiency of current CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells created by U.S.'s Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and its efficiency reaches 20%.CIGS is developed so far conversion efficiency from nineteen ninety-five and has improved and have 7% more than fully, within the same time CdTe 4%, monocrystalline silicon and polysilicon be respectively 1% of 3% and amorphous silicon, be enough to find out the development potentiality of CIGS in conversion efficiency.CIGS belongs to polycrystalline yellow copper structure (Chalcopyrite) compound of I-III-VI race, be a kind of by II-VI compounds of group zincblende lattce structure (Zinc-BlendStructure) the semi-conducting material that derives, formed by the unit cell storehouse of two zincblende, the lattice position belonging to II race's element originally is replaced by I race and III race and is formed, lattice position residing for the inner In of chalcopyrite then can be the Ga element that adds replace.CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) has the P-type characteristic of semiconductor of direct gap (Directband-gap) character, and has quite high absorption coefficient of light α (α=10
4~ 10
5cm
-1), be 100 times of monocrystalline silicon, most solar spectrum can be contained, compared with other solar cell, therefore only need the thickness of 1 ~ 3 μm, be i.e. the incident sunlight of Absorbable rod more than 99%.The most high conversion efficiency of current CIGS thin film solar cell created by U.S.'s Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and its efficiency reaches 20%.And NREL shows in assessment report in 2011, CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) up can grow up with annual 0.3% in conversion efficiency.
CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells be developed so far its modular construction roughly part be made up of top electrode (AL/Ni), anti-reflecting layer (MgF2), optical window layer (AZO/ITO), resilient coating (CdS), absorbed layer (CIGS), back electrode (Mo) and substrate (SS/GLASS/PET), in single rete, the parameter allotment of each material composition ratio, film crystal structure, processing procedure mode and various factorss such as optimizing processing procedure are the challenge on it is prepared, in addition, also need to consider that each rete is stacked into the matching of assembly, the many factors such as to influence each other between each Film preparation mode and processing procedure, especially CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) is shown for extremely responsive for component influences various process parameter from pertinent literature, more increase the difficulty of CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film solar cells in preparation, also make technology door relatively improve simultaneously, a kind of solar cell that technical difficulty is larger is thought at international photovoltaic circle.
Target has the mother metal of solid shape for sputter coating.If target can be divided into metal and pottery two large classes simply according to materials classification, if melting processing procedure and the large class of powder metallurgy processing procedure two usually generally can be divided into according to processing procedure classification.Most metals target adopts melting processing procedure, and minority target just adopts powder metallurgy processing procedure in view of the factors such as grain size controls, alloy composition fusing point gap is too large during use.Generally adopt vacuum induction melting to allocate composition for metal or alloy target material, and obtain required target through machining mode such as the forging of back segment and heat treatments.As touch screen, integrated circuit, liquid crystal display screen, building glass, blooming and thin-film solar cells etc. in current photoelectricity and semiconductor industry, be obtain large-area uniformity and production, associated film uses vacuum magnetic control sputter process all in a large number.
Multi-element compounds solar cell is at present by belonging to one of object material, be that the solar battery obsorbing layer formed with I race of race of race-III-IV can the regulation and control of its composition carry out being change and reaching best photoelectric conversion efficiency, wherein, I race is copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), III race is aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), IV race is sulphur (S), selenium (Se), antimony (Te), the highest with copper indium gallium selenium solar cell photoelectric conversion efficiency at present.
In CIGS rete, absorbed layer is the important rete affecting 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 characteristic of large area film forming and the better uniformity of acquisition.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) according to base material from lower to upper, general dorsum electrode layer, optical window layer adopt vacuum splashing and plating mode, resilient coating adopts chemical waters mode, compared in each rete of modular construction, 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, comprises plating and coating etc.; Wherein use that to prepare resilient coating main cause absorbed layer surface made by the current stage in chemical bath mode very thick, need reach complete batch of resilient coating by immersion method is overlying on absorbed layer, but, in whole production CIGS solar cell process, immersion method processing procedure mode is used to have several restriction: 1. do not add for continuous production; 2. large-area uniformity is wayward; 3. need in immersion method manufacturing process to consume large water gaging; 4. immersion method uses chemical solvent subsequent treatment cost high.If the surface planarisation of absorbed layer just can not be able to be adopted waters method to do resilient coating, avoid the discontinuity of producing to enhance productivity and yield, and reduce production cost.
Absorbed layer film is prepared for a large amount of and large area, current processing procedure mode system adopts sputter precursors and rear selenizing processing procedure, wherein, early stage precursors metallic film is designed to single-element or double base alloying metal adopts multiple gun sputter, processing procedure passage is many, time is grown and has the factors such as low-melting alloy processing procedure unsteadiness, but because precursor layer is containing the phosphide element of low melting point, traditional filming parameter is used the predecessor roughness of film made to be become large (>300nm), CIGS surface in the future after high temperature selenizing cannot reach desirable planarization, be unfavorable for the preparation of follow-up resilient coating and optical window layer, and required formation absorbed layer phase change temperature reduces, cause follow-up selenizing cannot continue to diffuse in precursors film and react, make selenizing not exclusively and conversion efficiency cannot effectively promote, improve manufacturing cost because of above-mentioned reason and reduce process rate and productive rate.And CIGS solar cell is mostly adopt one chip to produce before the present invention, volume production rate is low, and required is manually more, and relative production cost also cannot decline to a great extent.Some people adopts the mode of volume to volume evaporation film-forming on PI to make CIGS battery in addition, light-weighted demand can be reached, but because process temperatures cannot be drawn high (<300 DEG C), effectively homogeneous CIGS phase cannot be formed, so battery efficiency rests on 5-10% always, the method that there is no breaks through.
