Description
技术领域
本实施例涉及一种太阳能电池装置及其制造方法。
背景技术
近来,由于能量消耗增加,开发了将太阳光转化成电能的太阳能电池。
在直接将太阳光转化成电能的太阳能电池发电中,太阳能电池(或光伏电池)是核心部件。
例如,当能量大于半导体的带隙能量的太阳光入射到具有PN结结构的太阳能电池中时,产生电子-空穴对。当电子和空穴被分别收集到N层和P层时,由于在PN结部分形成的电场,在N与P层之间产生光电压。在这种情况下,如果负载连接至设在太阳能电池两端的电极,电流将流过太阳能电池。
特别地,已广泛应用一种CIGS-基太阳能电池,该太阳能电池为PN异质结装置,具有包括玻璃基板、金属背电极层、P型CIGS-基光吸收层、高阻缓冲层及N型窗口层的基板结构。
然而,根据现有技术,当生长作为缓冲层的CdS层时,由于高毒性CdS,沉积废料的费用增加,致使制造太阳能电池的费用增加。
发明内容
技术问题
本实施例提供一种能够改善其环境污染和产率的太阳能电池装置。
技术方案
根据本实施例,提供一种太阳能电池装置,该太阳能电池装置包括:支撑基板;在所述支撑层上的背电极层;在所述背电极层上的光吸收层;在所述光吸收层上的多个缓冲层,所述多个缓冲层具有向上逐渐增加的能带隙;以及在所述缓冲层上的窗口层。
有益效果
根据本实施例所述的太阳能电池装置,能够解决由于Cd引起的太阳能电池装置的制造费用增加的问题,并能改善太阳能电池装置的产率。
另外,能够降低所述光吸收层与所述缓冲层之间的能带隙差别,进而能够改善光电转化效率。
附图说明
图1是示出了根据实施例的太阳能电池装置的截面图;以及
图2到图5是示出了根据实施例的太阳能电池板制造工艺的截面图。
具体实施方式
在对实施例的描述中,应该明白,当某一基板、层、膜或者电极被称作是在另一基板、另一层、另一膜或者另一电极“之上”或者“之下”时,它可以是“直接”或“间接”地在该另一基板、层、膜或电极之上或之下,或者也可以存在一个或多个中间层。参照附图描述了层的这种位置。为了说明的目的,附图中所示的元件的大小可能被夸大,并且可能不完全反映实际的大小。
图1是示出了根据实施例的太阳能电池装置的截面图。参见图1,太阳能电池板包括支撑基板100、背电极层200、光吸收层300、包括第一缓冲层410和第二缓冲层420的缓冲层400,以及窗口层500。
支撑基板100为平板状,且支撑背电极层200、光吸收层300、缓冲层400及窗口层500.
支撑基板100可以是绝缘体。支撑基板100可以是金属基板。另外,支撑基板100可以由不锈钢形成(SUS,STS)。可以根据其中包括的元素物质的比对支撑基板100分类,并且可以包括C、Si、Mn、P、S、Ni、Cr、Mo及Fe中的至少一种。支撑基板100可以是柔性的。
背电极层200设置在支撑基板100上。背电极层200为导电层。背电极层200可以转移太阳能电池的光吸收层300产生的电荷,从而允许电流流向太阳能电池外部。为了执行上述功能,背电极层200必须表现出高导电性和低电阻系数。
另外,在形成CIGS复合物的过程,当在所需的硫(S)和硒(Se)的氛围下进行热处理时,背电极层200必须保持高温稳定性。另外,由于背电极层200与基板100的热膨胀系数存在差异,背电极层200必须表现关于基板100的优越粘合性能以免背电极层200从基板100上剥离。
背电极层200可以包括钼(Mo)、金(Au)、铝(Al)、铬(Cr)、钨(W)和铜(Cu)中的任意一种。在以上材料中,与其他材料相比,Mo的热膨胀系数与支撑基板100的差异更低,所以钼表现出优越的粘合性能,从而防止发生上述剥离现象,并且完全满足背电极层200所需特性。背电极层200的厚度可以在400nm到1000nm的范围内。
光吸收层300可以形成在背电极层200上。光吸收层300包括P型半导体复合物。更详细地讲,光吸收层300包括I-Ⅲ-Ⅵ族-基复合物。例如,光吸收层300可以具有Cu(IN,Ga)Se2(CIGS)晶体结构、Cu(IN)Se2晶体结构、Cu(Ga)Se2晶体结构。光吸收层300的能带隙范围可以为1.1eV到1.3eV,厚度范围可以为1.5μm到2.5μm。
缓冲层400设置在光吸收层300上。根据具有光吸收层300(包括CIGS复合物)的太阳能电池,在作为P型半导体的CIGS复合物薄膜与作为N型半导体的窗口层50之间形成P-N结。然而,由于两种材料在晶格常数和带隙能量上表现出较大差异,所以需要能带隙介于两种材料能带隙中间的缓冲层,以在两种材料之间形成较好的结。
缓冲层400可以包括第一缓冲层410和第二缓冲层420。
第一缓冲层410的能带隙可以高于光吸收层300的能带隙。第二缓冲层420的能带隙可以高于第一缓冲层410的能带隙。
第一缓冲层410的厚度可以与第二缓冲层420的厚度不同。具体地,第一缓冲层410的厚度可以比第二缓冲层420薄。
第一缓冲层410可以包括Zn和Se并且可以具有ZnSe的化学式。第一缓冲层410可以包括比例为1:1的Zn和Se。带隙能可以随着组合物比例变化。第一缓冲层410的能带隙可以在约1.5eV到约2.6eV的范围内。第一缓冲层410厚度可以在2nm到10nm的范围内。
第二缓冲层420可以包括Zn和S并且可以具有ZnS的化学式。第二缓冲层420可以包括比例为1:1的Zn和S。第二缓冲层420的能带隙可以在约2.7eV到约3.7eV的范围内。第二缓冲层420厚度可以在5nm到50nm的范围内。
高阻缓冲层(未示出)可以设置在缓冲层400上。高阻缓冲层可以包括未掺杂杂质的氧化锌(i-ZnO)。高阻缓冲层可以具有高于缓冲层400的能带隙,并且可以具有50nm到60nm的厚度。
窗口层500设在缓冲层400上。窗口层500为透明导电层。窗口层500的电阻高于背电极层200。
窗口层500包括氧化物。例如,窗口层可以包括氧化锌、铟锡氧化物(ITO)或铟锌氧化物(IZO)。另外,窗口层500可以包括铝掺杂的氧化锌(AZO)或者镓掺杂的氧化锌(GZO)。窗口层500的厚度可以形成为在800nm到1000nm的范围内。
根据本实施例所述的太阳能电池,由于形成的缓冲层未包含Cd,能够改善环境污染问题。另外,由于能带隙逐渐变化,能够改善光电转化效率。
图2到图5是示出了根据实施例的太阳能电池板制造工艺截面图。将会参考上面描述的太阳能电池装置来描述本发明制造方法。以上对太阳能电池的描述可以并入本发明制造方法的描述中。
参见图2,在基板100上形成背电极层200。可以通过沉积Mo形成背电极层200。可以通过溅射方案形成背电极层200。另外,可以在支撑基板100与背电极层200之间插入附加层,例如防扩散层。
参见图3,在背电极层200上形成光吸收层300。光吸收层300可以通过广泛采用的方案形成,例如通过同时或分别蒸发铜、铟、镓、硒来形成(Cu(In,Ga)(Se)2(CIGS)基光吸收层300的方案,以及在形成金属前体层之后进行硒化工艺的方案。
相反地,使用Cu靶、In靶和Ga靶的溅镀工艺与硒化工艺可以同时进行。可以通过仅使用Cu靶和In靶或者仅使用Cu靶和Ga靶的溅镀过程或硒化过程来形成CIS基或CIG基光吸收层300。
参见图4,在光吸收层300上形成缓冲层400。可以通过化学浴沉积(CBD)方案形成缓冲层400,该方案包括:过程P1,将基板浸入盛有包含薄膜组成元素的水溶液并且配有用于加热水溶液的加热单元和用于搅拌水溶液的搅拌单元的水槽中;以及过程P2,通过从基板的表面生长薄膜来形成缓冲层。
加热单元通过使用加热器加热水槽的底面或侧面,并且包括温度传感元件以使存储在水槽的水溶液的温度保持在设定温度。搅拌单元搅拌储存在水槽中的水溶液,使得水溶液包含的薄膜组成元素可以广泛地与基板接触,从而快速地形成薄膜。
首先,通过利用Zn溶液和Se溶液作为基础形成具有化学式ZnSe的第一缓冲层410。第一缓冲层410的厚度可以形成为在2nm到10nm的范围内。通过利用Zn溶液和S溶液作为基础形成化学式为ZnS的第二缓冲层420。第二缓冲层420的厚度可以形成为在5nm到50nm的范围内。通过以上工艺可以形成包括第一缓冲层410和第二缓冲层420的缓冲层400。
可以通过在光吸收层300的上表面形成富Se层后再形成ZnS膜的方案形成缓冲层400。在这种情况下,可以形成厚度相对较薄的第一缓冲层410,并可以形成厚度相对较薄的第二缓冲层420。
另外,可以通过USP方案多沉积缓冲层以使其具有双重结构。
然后,在缓冲层400上形成窗口层500。利用溅射方案通过沉积透明导电材料,如铝掺杂的氧化锌(AZO),可以在缓冲层400上形成窗口层500。
在本说明书中每提及“一个实施例”、“某个实施例”、“示例性实施例”等时意味着,结合该实施例描述的具体特征、结构、或特性包含在本发明的至少一个实施例中。在本说明书中不同地方出现的此类短语不一定都是指同一实施例。另外,当结合任何实施例描述具体特征、结构、或特性时,所主张的是,结合其他实施例实现该特征、结构,或特性落入本领域技术人员的能力范围内。
