Technical field
The present invention relates to solaode and have quantum well structure thin-film solar cells and Its manufacture method, particularly have quantum well structure cadmium telluride diaphragm solar battery structure and Its manufacture method.
Background technology
Since French scientist AE.Becquerel 1839 find opto-electronic conversion phenomenon with After, within 1883, first solaode with semiconductor selenium as substrate is born.Nineteen forty-six Russell obtains the patent (US.2,402,662) of first solaode, its photoelectricity Conversion efficiency is only 1%.Until 1954, the research of AT&T Labs is just found that doping Silica-base material has high photoelectric transformation efficiency.This research is established for modern sun energy battery industry Determine basis.In 1958, Haffman Utilities Electric Co. of the U.S. was that the satellite of the U.S. is loaded onto First piece of solar panel, its photoelectric transformation efficiency is about 6%.From this, monocrystal silicon and many The solaode research of crystalline silicon substrate and production have had quick development, solar energy in 2006 The yield of battery has reached 2000 megawatts, the photoelectric transformation efficiency of monocrystaline silicon solar cell Reaching 24.7%, commercial product reaches 22.7%, the opto-electronic conversion effect of polysilicon solar cell Rate reaches 20.3%, and commercial product reaches 15.3%.
On the other hand, the Zhores Alferov of the Soviet Union in 1970 have developed first GaAs base High efficiency III-V race's solaode.Owing to preparing the key technology of III-V race's thin-film material MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition) is until about 1980 are just successfully researched and developed, beautiful The applied solar energy Battery Company of state was successfully applied to this technology and prepares photoelectricity and turn in 1988 Change III-V race's solaode of the GaAs base that efficiency is 17%.Thereafter, with GaAs base The doping techniques of III-V race's material of sheet, the technology of preparing of plural serial stage solaode obtains Research and development widely, its photoelectric transformation efficiency reached 19% in 1993,2000 Reach 24%, within 2002, reach 26%, within 2005, reach 28%, within 2007, reach 30%.2007 Year, big III-V solaode company of race Emcore and SpectroLab of the U.S. two produces High efficiency III-V race solar energy commercial product, its photoelectric conversion rate reaches 38%, this two company Occupy the 95% of III-V race's solaode market, the whole world, nearest American National Energy Research Institute Announce, they successfully have developed its photoelectric transformation efficiency be up to 50% plural serial stage III- V race's solaode.Owing to the substrate of this kind of solaode is expensive, equipment and process costs Height, is mainly used in the fields such as Aeronautics and Astronautics, national defence and military project.
External solaode research and production, substantially can be divided into three phases, i.e. have three For solaode.
First generation solaode, with the silica-based single constituent element of monocrystal silicon and polycrystalline the most too Sun can battery be representative.Only pay attention to improve photoelectric transformation efficiency and large-scale production, also exist The problems such as high energy consumption, labour intensive, and high cost unfriendly to environment, it produces the valency of electricity Lattice are about 2~3 times of coal electricity;Until 2014, the yield of first generation solaode is still Account for the 80-90% of global solar battery total amount.
Second filial generation solaode is thin-film solar cells, is grew up in recent years new Technology, it pays attention to reduce the energy consumption in production process and process costs, and brainstrust is called green Color photovoltaic industry.Compared with monocrystal silicon and polysilicon solar cell, the use of its thin film HIGH-PURITY SILICON Amount is its 1%, meanwhile, low temperature (about about 200 DEG C) plasma enhanced chemical gas Depositing deposition technique, electroplating technology mutually, printing technology is extensively studied and is applied to thin film too The production of sun energy battery.Owing to using the glass of low cost, rustless steel thin slice, macromolecule substrate As baseplate material and low temperature process, greatly reduce production cost, and be conducive to large-scale Produce.The material of the thin-film solar cells that success is researched and developed the most is: CdTe, its photoelectricity turns Changing efficiency is 16.5%, and commercial product is about about 12%;CulnGaSe (CIGS), its light Photoelectric transformation efficiency is 19.5%, and commercial product is about 12%;Non-crystalline silicon and microcrystal silicon, its light Photoelectric transformation efficiency is 8.3~15%, and commercial product is 7~12%, in recent years, due to liquid crystal electricity Depending on the research and development of thin film transistor (TFT), non-crystalline silicon and microcrystalline silicon film technology had significant progress, And it has been applied to silicon-based film solar cells.Focus around thin-film solar cells research It is that exploitation is efficient, low cost, long-life photovoltaic solar cell.They should have as follows Feature: low cost, high efficiency, long-life, material source are abundant, nontoxic, scientists ratio Relatively have an optimistic view of amorphous silicon thin-film solar cell.Account for the thin-film solar cells of lion's share at present Being non-crystal silicon solar cell, usually pin structure battery, Window layer is that the p-type of boron-doping is non- Crystal silicon, then one layer of unadulterated i layer of deposition, the N-type non-crystalline silicon of redeposited one layer of p-doped, And plated electrode.Brainstrust is it is expected that owing to thin-film solar cells has low cost, high effect Rate, the ability of large-scale production, at following 10~15 years, thin-film solar cells will become Main product for global solar battery.
Amorphous silicon battery typically uses PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) method makes the gases such as high purity silane Decompose deposition.This kind of processing technology, can be aborning continuously in multiple vacuum moulding machines Room completes, to realize producing in enormous quantities.Owing to deposition decomposition temperature is low, can be at glass, stainless Thin film is deposited, it is easy to large area metaplasia is produced, and cost is relatively on steel plate, ceramic wafer, flexible plastic sheet Low.The structure of the non-crystalline silicon based solar battery prepared on a glass substrate is: Glass/TCO/p-a-SiC/i-a-Si/n-a-Si/TCO, at the bottom of stainless steel lining, preparation is non- The structure of crystal silicon based solar battery is: SS/ZnO/n-a-Si/i-a-Si/p-na-Si/ITO.
Internationally recognized amorphous silicon/microcrystalline silicon tandem solaode is next of silicon-base thin-film battery Generation technique, is the important technology approach realizing high efficiency, low cost thin-film solar cells, is thin film The industrialization direction that battery is new.Microcrystalline silicon film is since nineteen sixty-eight is by Veprek and Maracek Having used hydrogen PCVD since 600 DEG C are prepared first, people start it Potential premium properties has had Preliminary study, until 1979, Usui and Kikuchi of Japan Strengthen chemical gaseous phase by the process and low-temperature plasma using high hydrogen silicon ratio to deposit Technology, prepares doped microcrystalline silicon, and people are the most gradually to microcrystalline silicon materials and in solar-electricity Application in pond is studied.1994, SwitzerlandM.J.Williams and M.Faraji team proposes with microcrystal silicon for end battery first, and non-crystalline silicon is the lamination electricity of top battery The concept in pond, this battery combines non-crystalline silicon good characteristic and the long-wave response of microcrystal silicon and steady Qualitative good advantage.Mitsubishi heavy industrys in 2005 and the non-crystalline silicon/crystallite of Zhong Yuan chemical company Silicon laminated cell assembly sample efficiencies respectively reach 11.1% (40cm × 50cm) and 13.5% (91cm × 45cm).Japanese Sharp company in JIUYUE, 2007 realizes non-crystalline silicon/microcrystal silicon and folds Layer solar cell industrialization produces (25MW, efficiency 8%-8.5%), Oerlikon (Europe, Europe Rui Kang) company's in JIUYUE, 2009 announces its amorphous/the highest turn of crystallite lamination solar cell laboratory Change efficiency reach 11.9%, at 2010 6 in the solaode exhibition " PVJapan of Yokohama opening 2010 ", on, Applied Materials (AMAT) announce the conversion efficiency of 0.1m × 0.1m module Having reached 10.1%, the conversion efficiency of 1.3m × 1.1m module has reached 9.9%.Improve battery The maximally effective approach of efficiency is to try to improve the efficiency of light absorption of battery.For silica-base film, Using low bandgap material is inevitable approach.The low bandgap material used such as Uni-Solar company is A-SiGe (amorphous silicon germanium) alloy, their a-Si/a-SiGe/a-SiGe three-knot laminated battery is little Area cells (0.25cm2) efficiency reaches 15.2%, stabilization efficiency reaches 13%, 900cm2Assembly is imitated Rate reaches 11.4%, and stabilization efficiency reaches 10.2%, and product efficiency reaches 7%-8%.
For thin-film solar cells, a unijunction, there is no the silion cell of optically focused, reason In opinion, maximum electricity conversion is 31% (Shockley Queisser restriction).According to band gap What energy reduced order, the silion cell not having optically focused of binode, in theory maximum photoelectric conversion Efficiency rises to 41%, and three knots can reach 49%.Therefore, development multi-knot thin film is too Sun energy battery is an up the important channel of solar battery efficiency.For cadmium telluride diaphragm solar Battery, the fusing point of the high or low band gap material matched with cadmium telluride is the lowest, and unstable, difficult To form the efficient series-connected solar cells of many knots.For CIGS thin film solaode, with The high or low band gap material that CIGS matches is difficult to prepare, and is not easy to form the efficiently series connection of many knots Solaode.Band gap for silicon-based film solar cells, crystalline silicon and non-crystalline silicon is 1.1eV's and 1.7eV, and the big I of the band gap of nano-silicon foundation crystallite dimension is at 1.1eV And change between 1.7eV.Si based compound, such as crystal Si1-xGex band gap (0≤X≤1) 0.7eV can be changed to from 1.1eV according to the concentration of Ge, and amorphous SiGe can be 1.4, amorphous SiC about 1.95eV, the spectrum that this combination is exactly with the sun matches.
On the other hand, absorb luminous energy the most fully, improve the photoelectric conversion of solaode Efficiency, allows electronic energy as much as possible be optically excited and to be changed into electric energy, so, and battery material Level-density parameter and few defect be of crucial importance.For technological layer, thin film deposition Technological difficulties ensure high-quality and the uniformity of thin film while being to realize high speed deposition, because The base material of thin film crystallite dimension, Growing Process of Crystal Particles and growth is all to the quality of thin film and all Even property has strong impact, thus affects the performance of whole battery performance.In thin film grain growth Cheng Zhong, due to the abnormal growth of crystal grain, causes grain size uneven, easily formed hole and Crack.The hole being full of in thin film and crack add the compound of carrier, and cause leakage Electric current, seriously reduces Voc and FF value.Therefore, solve this technical barrier, be to prepare The important channel of efficient thin-film solar cell.
We are in patent ZL200910043930-4, ZL200910043931-9 and From technical elements in ZL200910226603-2, manufacture high efficiency a-Si/ μ C-Si, With a-Si/nC-Si/ μ C-Si binode and three knot silicon-based film solar cells, high density (HD) Develop and be used for high-quality with hyperfrequency (VHF)-PECVD technique, large scale A-Si, a-SiGe, nC-Si, μ C-Si, A-SiC thin film deposition.Using a-SiC as Window layer, And p-type doping Si-rich silicon oxide film is between top a-Si and bottom μ c-Si battery Between reflecting layer be used for increasing a-Si/ μ C-Si binode and a-Si/nC-Si/ μ C-Si tri-ties silica-based The efficiency of thin-film solar cells.The CVD process optimization of high-quality B doping ZnOx, Improve its mist degree and electrical conductivity, and have studied other light capture technique.Three knot silica-base films The laboratory sample efficiency of solaode can reach 15%, has stabilization efficiency more than 10% Solar module is for business-like a-Si/ μ C-Si (1.1 meters of x1.3 rice) more than and Preparation.
