Embodiment
Set forth a lot of detail in the following description so that fully understand the application.But the application can be much different from alternate manner described here to implement, those skilled in the art can when doing similar popularization without prejudice to when the application's intension, and therefore the application is by the restriction of following public concrete enforcement.
This application provides and a kind ofly control the method for sodium content in CIGS thin film, a kind of structure for CIGS thin film solar cell and a kind of CIGS thin film solar cell, by reference to the accompanying drawings the embodiment of the application is described in detail successively below.
Please refer to Fig. 1, its a kind of flow chart controlling the embodiment of the method for sodium content in CIGS thin film provided for the application, in described control CIGS thin film, the method for sodium content comprises the following steps:
Step S101, forming sodium ion barrier layer containing on the substrate of sodium element, stops that the sodium ion in described substrate is diffused in described CIGS thin film.
In the manufacture of CIGS thin film solar cell and in using, CIGS thin film inside can be entered along the grain boundary decision of back electrode containing a large amount of sodium ions in the substrate of sodium element, trace sodium ion have help CIGS crystal grain growth, obtain efficient battery device, but excessive sodium ion can form defect state at material internal, affect battery efficiency and stability greatly.Because the sodium ions content in substrate is higher and the diffusion of sodium ion is uncontrolled, so cause the sodium ions content in CIGS thin film too high and uncontrollable, thus affect battery efficiency and the stability of CIGS thin film solar cell.
Trace, the doping of controlled sodium ion is obtained in order to make described CIGS thin film, first the impact of sodium ion in substrate will be got rid of, therefore, this step is forming sodium ion barrier layer containing on the substrate of sodium element, described sodium ion barrier layer, for stopping that the sodium ion in described substrate is diffused in described CIGS thin film, avoids that excessive sodium ion is uncontrolled to be diffused in described CIGS thin film.
Wherein, the material on described sodium ion barrier layer can select silicon nitride, silica, silicon oxynitride, titanium nitride, titanium oxide, titanium oxynitrides, nitrogen zirconia, zirconia, zirconium nitride, aluminium nitride, aluminium oxide, oxidation sial, aluminium silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride aluminium, any one or its mixture in zinc tin oxide, in addition, can also adopt the oxide of at least two kinds of elements be made up of at least one element in silicon, zirconium and titanium and molybdenum, nitride or nitrogen oxide.
Because silicon nitride film has excellent compact texture, and there is good ion barrier performance, therefore, in the embodiment that the application provides, described sodium ion barrier layer adopts silicon nitride material, its thickness requirement is more than or equal to 120nm, and being thinner than this thickness can affect blocking effect to sodium ion to a certain extent.For consideration that is cost-saving and raising deposition efficiency, in a preferred embodiment of the application, the thickness of described silicon nitride film is no more than 150nm, and exceeding this thickness does not functionally have other negative effects, and it is also within the protection range of the application.
Consider that refractive index is the important indicator of reflection thin film composition and compactness, and the sodium ion barrier effect impact of the compactness of thin film composition and film on silicon nitride film is larger, grope through experiment, in provide embodiment of the application, the refractive index of described silicon nitride film is 2.0 ~ 2.1.
The method forming described sodium ion barrier layer has chemical vapour deposition (CVD) (CVD) method and the large class of physical vapour deposition (PVD) (PVD) method two.
Chemical vapour deposition technique is the pioneer's reactant utilizing gaseous state, is generated the technology of solid film by the approach of atom, intermolecular chemical reaction.It is (as NH the gas containing film element (Si, N) that chemical vapour deposition technique prepares silicon nitride film 3, SiH 4, SiCl 4, SiH 2cl 2deng) be fed to the surface of substrate in cvd furnace, utilize heating, plasma, ultraviolet light and even laser equal energy source, make its deposit film that reacts to each other.High temperature chemical vapor deposition, middle temperature chemical vapour deposition (CVD), low temperature chemical vapor deposition etc. can be divided by in-furnace temperature height; Aumospheric pressure cvd, low-pressure chemical vapor deposition etc. is divided into by pressure in stove; Thermal chemical vapor deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, photo chemical vapor deposition etc. can be divided into by the reaction energy.Above-mentioned chemical vapour deposition technique is all the common method preparing silicon nitride film in prior art, repeats no more herein, and it is all within the protection range of the application.
