Abstract

The invention discloses a thin-film / crystalline-silicon stacked solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. A dual-junction stacked cell structure consists of a bottom cell which is a crystalline-silicon cell and a top cell which is a silicon film cell. The crystalline-silicon cell employs an n-type silicon slice as a substrate to form a base region for the cell, wherein on a front surface of the silicon substrate, a p-type layer is formed as a cell emission region by using high temperature diffusion, and on the back surface of the silicon slice, a passivation layer and a back electrode are deposited. The silicon film cell is deposited on the front surface of the crystalline-silicon cell, wherein the deposition can occur in the following sequence: an n-type layer, an intrinsic layer and a p-type layer. A transparent conducting thin film is deposited on the p-type layer, and the top of the transparent conducting thin film is provided with a metal electrode. The inventive thin-film / crystalline-silicon stacked solar cell and the manufacturing method thereof are characterized in that due to the larger forbidden band width of the silicon film material, a short wavelength light with high energy is absorbed by the top silicon film cell, and the light which is transmitted through the top cell is absorbed by the bottom crystalline-silicon cell, the thickness of which is adjustable in order to obtain an electric current density matched with that of the top cell. By means of the dual-junction stacked cell structure, it is possible to expand a spectral response range of the cell, improve a conversion efficiency of the cell, and meanwhile to obtain a high open-circuit voltage and a better high-temperature performance.
