Description

一种含有双背场结构的太阳电池
技术领域
本发明涉及一种太阳电池,具体地,涉及一种含有双背场结构的太阳电池。
背景技术
太阳电池因其可将太阳能直接转换为电能,是当前利用绿色能源的最有效方式之一。III-V族半导体太阳电池相较于传统的硅太阳电池,其转换效率高、抗辐照能力强、温度特性好等优点,被公认为是新一代高性能长寿命空间主电源,已在航天领域得到广泛应用。随着化合物半导体生长技术(如金属有机化合物汽相外延——MOCVD) 的不断进步,III-V族太阳电池的效率得到了很大提高,三结太阳电池效率已经超过34%。如何进一步提升III-V族太阳电池的转换效率成为当前研究热点。背场的引入在太阳电池中主要有两个作用:一是对电池的后表面形成良好的钝化层,减小载流子的复合速率;二是在一定程度上增加电池的开路电压,从而增大电池的转换效率。传统太阳电池一般选用一种材料作为背场,或者对同一材料进行两个浓度水平的掺杂。随着高效III-V族太阳电池的发展,多结太阳电池的效率已经超过34%,进一步提高电池的转换效率变得越来越困难。
传统的太阳电池一般选用一种材料来作为背场,以此来对电池后表面进行钝化,减小载流子在后表面的复合速率,并且背场的引入可以在后表面形成少数载流子的阻挡层,增加了有效少数载流子数量,提高了短路电流密度,从而提高了开路电压。图1为传统太阳电池中基区与背场的能带图。随着太阳电池所用半导体材料带隙的提高,选择符合条件的材料作为背场变得越来越困难。
发明内容
本发明的目的是提供一种太阳电池,在太阳电池中采用材料来构造新型双背场结构,降低载流子在背表面处的复合速度,同时也可以在一定程度上增大电池的开路电压。 
为了达到上述目的,本发明提供了一种含有双背场结构的太阳电池,其中,该太阳电池为双背场结构;基区厚度为100~500nm,双背场结构中每个背场的厚度分别为5~100nm。
上述的含有双背场结构的太阳电池,其中,所述的基区采用GaInP,所述的双背场结构,其中一个背场采用Al0.13GaInP,另一个背场采用Al0.25GaInP。
上述的含有双背场结构的太阳电池,其中,所述的基区采用Al0.13GaInP,所述的双背场结构,其中一个背场采用Al0.20GaInP,另一个背场采用采用Al0.25GaInP。
本发明提供的含有双背场结构的太阳电池具有以下优点:
(1)可以更有效的反射少数载流子,提高短路电流密度;(2)双背场结构可以在能带中形成一个辅助电场,提高载流子的迁移率。
附图说明
图1为传统太阳电池中的基区与背场能带图。
图2为本发明的含有双背场结构的太阳电池的基区与双背场能带示意图。
图3为本发明的含有双背场结构的太阳电池的优选实施例结构示意图。
具体实施方式
以下结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式作进一步地说明。
本发明提供的含有双背场结构的太阳电池,该太阳电池为双背场结构;基区厚度为100~500nm,双背场结构中每个背场的厚度分别为5~100nm。基区与双背场能带示意图参见图2。
基区采用GaInP(镓铟磷),双背场结构,其中一个背场采用Al0.13GaInP(铝镓铟磷),另一个背场采用Al0.25GaInP。
或者基区采用Al0.13GaInP,双背场结构,其中一个背场采用Al0.20GaInP,另一个背场采用采用Al0.25GaInP。
实施例1
如图3所示,以单结太阳电池为例,首先在GaAs(砷化镓)衬底上外延生长GaAs缓冲层1,接着依次生长Al0.20GaInP背场2,Al0.25GaInP背场3,Al0.13GaInP有源层4,Al0.13GaInP发射区5,AlInP(铝铟磷)窗口层6,GaAs帽子层7。基区厚度为200nm,双背场结构中两个背场的厚度分别为10nm和50nm。该结构采用低压金属有机物化学气相沉积(LP-MOCVD)设备生长。
实施例2
以单结太阳电池为例,首先在GaAs衬底上外延生长GaAs缓冲层1,接着依次生长Al0.13GaInP背场2,Al0.25GaInP背场3, GaInP有源层4, GaInP发射区5,AlInP窗口层6,GaAs帽子层7。基基区厚度为400nm,双背场结构中两个背场的厚度分别为80nm和40nm。该结构采用低压金属有机物化学气相沉积设备生长。
本发明提供的含有双背场结构的太阳电池,在太阳电池中采用新型双背场结构,以优化电池后表面的钝化效果,并且提高电池的开路电压。利用两种背场材料带隙的差异增强背场的钝化作用,并形成增强载流子输运的飘移电场,以达到减小载流子复合速率、增大开路电压的目的。采用该结构能解决宽带隙太阳电池中的背场材料选择问题,提升背场的钝化效果,改善载流子的迁移率和有效寿命,为多结高效太阳电池的研制提高了保障。
尽管本发明的内容已经通过上述优选实施例作了详细介绍,但应当认识到上述的描述不应被认为是对本发明的限制。在本领域技术人员阅读了上述内容后,对于本发明的多种修改和替代都将是显而易见的。因此,本发明的保护范围应由所附的权利要求来限定。
