In one preferably embodiment, in above-mentioned copper and indium gallium preformed layer, the molal quantity sum of phosphide element and gallium element with The ratio of the molal quantity of copper is 100:The molal quantity sum of (80~95), phosphide element and gallium element and the molal quantity of gallium element Than for 100:(25~40).Research shows, because the appropriate copper vacancy defect that lean copper causes helps in CuInGaSe absorbed layer In the efficient battery device of acquisition;The doping of simultaneously appropriate gallium element can improve the energy gap of absorbed layer, thus carrying The open-circuit voltage parameter of high battery device.
Finally solid-state selenium film 240 can be formed on metallic film preformed layer 230 using the method for evaporation, obtain substrate 200, as shown in Figure 2.
In one preferably embodiment, in substrate 200, phosphide element and the molal quantity sum of gallium element and rubbing of selenium element The ratio of your number is 10:(16~18).Meanwhile, the thickness of solid-state selenium film 240 is preferably 0.2 μm~5 μm.In a more excellent enforcement In example, the thickness of solid-state selenium film 240 is 0.65 μm~1.0 μm.After there is first selenium in follow-up selenizing vulcanization reaction Sulfur, selenium move back the competitive relation that sulfur rises, and the control of selenium pressure is very sensitive to the performance impact of final thin-film solar cells.Solid-state selenium Film 240, as reacting unique selenium source, can make the selenium cannot be with the element of metallic film preformed layer 230 by the amount of control selenium Occur to react completely, the sulfuration for a rear step provides reaction compartment.
, when the thickness of solid-state selenium film 240 is 0.85 μm taking copper-indium-galliun-selenium film solar cell as a example, CIGS thin-film The conversion efficiency highest of solaode.When the thickness of solid-state selenium film 240 is less or greater than 0.85 μm, ABSORPTION EDGE blue shift or Person's red shift, the conversion efficiency of copper-indium-galliun-selenium film solar cell all can decline.Therefore, in copper-indium-galliun-selenium film solar cell The thickness of solid-state selenium film 240 is preferably 0.85 μm.
S120, two substrate parallel interval are arranged, and the selenium film in two substrates is relatively.

In a more excellent embodiment, the distance between the first substrate 300 and the second substrate 400 are 2mm~3mm.? In the range of this, can preferably the reactant in high-temperature process and volatilization mutually be confined in the first substrate 300 and second In space between substrate 400, avoid the loss of reactant to a greater degree, do not interfere with follow-up sulfidation simultaneously.
S130, under the atmosphere containing gaseous state sulphur source, selenizing sulfuration is carried out to metallic film preformed layer simultaneously, on substrate Prepared compound semiconductor film.
Atmosphere containing gaseous state sulphur source is preferably the mixed gas of hydrogen sulfide gas and nitrogen.CIGS thin-film solar Concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the open-circuit voltage (VOC) of battery device and reaction atmosphere has the increase relation of approximately linear.In hydrogen sulfide Under conditions of concentration is 20%, the VOC of device can exceed 700mV.But the concentration improving merely hydrogen sulfide gas make into The absorption bandses penetrating light narrow, and aggravate the layering of Ga component simultaneously, reduce photogenerated current and fill factor, curve factor.Therefore, consider, In above-mentioned mixed gas, the molal quantity sum of hydrogen sulfide and nitrogen is preferably 100 with the ratio of the molal quantity of hydrogen sulfide gas:(1~ 20).
Certainly, the above-mentioned atmosphere containing gaseous state sulphur source is not limited to the mixed gas of hydrogen sulfide gas and nitrogen, and nitrogen also may be used Do not react with hydrogen sulfide and metal preformed layer under the high temperature conditions for other or the reaction such as itself does not decompose gas.
Under the atmosphere containing gaseous state sulphur source, the step simultaneously carrying out selenizing sulfuration to metallic film preformed layer is:
First substrate 300 and the second substrate 400 are placed in annealing device, by be passed through after annealing device evacuation containing The atmosphere of gaseous state sulphur source, heats the first substrate 300 and the second substrate 400 afterwards simultaneously, and makes the first substrate 300 and the second substrate 400 temperature is warming up to 500 DEG C~600 DEG C with identical heating curve simultaneously, insulation 1min~30min after slow cooling extremely Room temperature, completes selenizing sulfuration.
As shown in figure 3, the annealing device 500 of present embodiment includes annealing furnace 510, first heating lamp tube array 520 and Second heating lamp tube array 530.First heating lamp tube array 520 is located at the first substrate 300 away from the one of the first solid-state selenium film 340 Side.Second heating lamp tube array 530 is located at the side away from the second solid-state selenium film 440 for second substrate 400, and the first heating fluorescent tube Array 520 and the second heating lamp tube array 530 are symmetric.
First heating fluorescent tube 520 of present embodiment and the second heating fluorescent tube 530 are infrared halogen heating fluorescent tube.Will be upper State the first heating fluorescent tube 520 and symmetrical can the design by temperature uniform light thermal field of the second heating fluorescent tube 530 makes heat Amount uniform concentration, in the two-dimensional surface of the first solid-state selenium film 340 and the second solid-state selenium film 440, eliminates boundary temperature " cold-zone ".
It should be noted that in present embodiment, first the first substrate 300 and the second substrate 400 relative spacing are arranged, then First substrate 300 and the second substrate 400 are placed in annealing device 500.But it is not limited, the order of the two can overturn. I.e., it is possible to after first the first substrate 300 and the second substrate 400 being placed in annealing device 500, then by the first substrate 300 and Two substrate 400 relative spacing is arranged.According to above-mentioned set-up mode, the first substrate 300 and the second substrate 400 can also be placed in and move back After fiery device 500, naturally realize the relative spacing setting of the first substrate 300 and the second substrate 400.
The present inventor through long-term discovery of researching and analysing, selenizing sulfur in compound semiconductor film annealing process The reaction mechanism changed is as follows:
Taking the preparation method of copper-indium-gallium-selenium semiconductor film in copper-indium-galliun-selenium film solar cell as a example, in annealing process The dominant response approach of selenizing is as follows:
Cu+2Se→CuSe2or CuSe or Cu2Se;
In+Se→InSe or In2Se3or In2Se (lean selenium volatile phase);
Ga+Se→GaSe or Ga2Se3or Ga2Se (lean selenium volatile phase), (binary selenides);
InSe+CuSe→CuInSe2and InSe+1/2Cu2Se→CuInSe2and 1/2In2Se3+1/2Cu2Se= CuInSe2;(ternary selenides)
GaSe+CuSe→CuGaSe2and GaSe+1/2Cu2Se→CuGaSe2and 1/2Ga2Se3+1/2Cu2Se= CuGaSe2;(ternary selenides)
3CuInSe2+CuGaSe2→4CuIn0.75Ga0.25Se2(quaternary selenide).
The dominant response approach of the selenizing from above-mentioned annealing process can be seen that selenylation reaction comprises metal and selenium two Unit, ternary and four elementary reactions, intermediate product is many, is related to solid-liquid/gas phase reaction, and course of reaction is complicated, and multicomponent reaction thing needs To carry out mass exchange and energy exchange in reaction compartment, with the means of chemical reaction of complicated pluralism.
In the preparation method of the compound semiconductor film of the present invention, during solid-state selenium film surface temperature raises, Solid-state selenium is first melted into liquid selenium and covers on the surface of solid-state selenium film, while forming selenylation reaction with metallic film preformed layer Also block the too early generation of vulcanization reaction.When the surface temperature of solid-state selenium film continues to raise, not yet participate in the liquid selenium reacted Gasification, the surface (confinement border) of solid-state selenium film as light absorbing heat carrier, by heat radiation and confinement gas microconvection Mode and reaction compartment carry out heat exchange so that reaction compartment keeps the condition of high temperature, confines in polyatom cluster Se therein Steam can be cracked into less elementide even monatomic state under high temperature action, continue to participate in selenylation reaction, greatly carry The high reactivity of selenium, improves selenizing quality, reduces reactant consumption.The preparation of the compound semiconductor film of the present invention In the selenylation reaction of method, the utilization rate of selenium can be up to more than 90%, such that it is able to the quantity delivered of precise control selenium.
Additionally, in selenidation process, the reactant such as selenium is limited in confinement space and is carried out instead with metallic film preformed layer Should, it is to avoid run off, by adjusting confinement space size, heating curve and selenium film thickness, it is possible to obtain stablize controlled selenium and steam Vapour pressure atmosphere, participates in selenylation reaction, thus realizing all realizing stable control to the process of selenium state, the amount of selenium and selenylation reaction System, is conducive to applying.
Then taking the preparation method of copper-indium-gallium-selenium semiconductor film in copper-indium-galliun-selenium film solar cell as a example, in copper and indium In the sulfidation of gallium preformed layer, S atom there may be following three kinds of reaction paths:
(1) S atom replaces out the Se atom on CIGS top layer;
(2) S atom and the element of the not metallic film preformed layer of reaction completely are reacted;
(3) S atom occupies top layer Se room.
(1st) plants the sulfuration that sulfuration mechanism is used for selenizing sufficient CIGSe film surface, and atom is replaced needs higher energy Amount just can be carried out it is necessary to meet the harsh conditions such as higher annealing temperature and longer annealing time, and therefore rate of cure is slower. (2nd) and (3) plant sulfuration mechanism realize it is critical only that and will introduce sulfuration before the thorough selenizing of metallic film preformed layer have pre- The sulfuration space stayed, the formation now vulcanizing can be relatively low, so having rate of cure faster, is the preferably anti-of sulfuration in technique Answer approach.
In the preparation method of the compound semiconductor film of the present invention, when metallic film preformed layer is deposited with solid-state selenium film The thickness of easily controllable solid-state selenium film it is ensured that selenium can not be excessive, in order to avoid by the complete selenizing of copper and indium gallium in metallic film preformed layer. In prior art, conventional method is that selenizing terminates revulcanization, and this requires that curing temperature is higher than selenizing temperature, because sulfur replaces The formation of selenium can be higher, needs higher energy.The selenium of solid-state, and the density in reaction surface selenium is employed in the present invention Height, therefore selenylation reaction is fast.And because metallic film preformed layer is not by complete selenizing, so vulcanization reaction is planted with (2nd) and (3) Approach occurs, and curingprocess rate is fast.
The Se part on CIGSe surface is substituted by by S by sulfuration, thus forming surface C IGSSe phase.Compared with CIGSe, The valence-band level of CIGSSe absorbed layer declines with the incorporation of S, thus having widened the band gap width Eg on light absorbing zone surface, permissible Realize the band-gap tuning of light absorbing zone, improve the purpose of thin-film solar cells performance.When the internal excessive S component of thin film is mixed Miscellaneous, thin film intrinsic absorption layer band gap width can be increased, and reduce the response wave band scope to absorbing incident light for the absorbed layer, thus dropping Low device photogenerated current density, therefore S component must accumulate in film surface.
In the preparation method of the compound semiconductor film of the present invention, selenizing and vulcanization reaction achieve first selenium in time The sulfuration of change-selenium coexists-course of reaction of after cure it is ensured that vulcanization reaction follows fast reaction approach, be rapid selenium of the present invention Change the key that sulfuration process is realized.
By multiple analysis means of testing such as XRF, XRD and SEM, it is possible to obtain the component distribution of film compound, knot The property of thin film feature such as crystalline state and structure and morphology, qualitative thin film course of reaction, obtains CIGS thin-film too by analysis The substrate of sun energy battery course of reaction in the lehr is as follows:
In initial reaction stage, raise with temperature, the solid-state selenium film that the prefabricated layer surface of metallic film covers is from solid-state to liquid Change, solid-state and liquid selenium film are fast with the reaction that on the one hand cladding improves selenizing to the good contact of metallic film preformed layer Rate, in this stage, primary binary selenizing product initially forms in a large number, and selenium is gradually cured in thin film with compound state by elemental, The cladding of another aspect selenium prevents the contact of hydrogen sulfide gas and metallic film preformed layer, and vulcanization reaction does not have started;With The rising further of temperature, in thin film, binary selenides start react to each other generation ternary and/or quaternary selenide, selenium film simultaneously Gasification, continues to participate in selenylation reaction with selenium vapor form " confinement " in film surface;After the selenium on surface is gasified totally, sample Surface selenium vapour concentration reaches highest, and hydrogen sulfide gas come into contact with the prefabricated layer surface of CIG simultaneously, and sulfuration starts to occur.I.e. sulfur Before change hydrogen begins participating in sulfuration, a certain degree of selenizing has completed;Subsequently selenizing vulcanization reaction is carried out simultaneously, selenizing Reaction is gradually carried out to the inside of thin film, and sulfurization is in film surface;Proceed with reaction, selenium is depleted, permissible Think that at this moment selenizing completes, only exist vulcanization reaction, because now internal selenizing has completed, expansion within to thin film for the sulphur atom Dissipate and be restricted, sulfuration betides film surface, film surface Se/S ratio gradually increases direction to S and changes.
In sum, in the preparation method of the compound semiconductor film of the present invention, two substrates of parallel interval setting As confinement border, constitute confinement reaction compartment, when carrying out selenizing sulfuration simultaneously, can be by the reaction in high-temperature process Thing and volatilization are mutually confined in above-mentioned confinement reaction compartment, thus avoiding the shadow out of control that reactant runs off to course of reaction Ring, the competitive reaction relation of selenium more rambunctious on microcosmic and sulfur can be transferred to the macrospace regulation and control being easier to realize simultaneously On, thus all realizing stability contorting to the process of selenium state, the amount of selenium and selenizing vulcanization reaction, be conducive to applying.
Additionally, compared with similar production technology, the present invention has the advantages that more suitable industry Production requirements, including:This Invention can process two pieces of substrates simultaneously, and production efficiency is high;Replace severe toxicity using safely and efficiently solid-state elemental selenium explosive H2Se gas is as the unique selenium source in selenylation reaction, it is to avoid safety in production hidden danger;Selenizing and vulcanization reaction are in same chamber Carry out in situ, at least subtract one item missing processing step, reduce process complexity;Relatively gaseous state selenium source, solid-state selenium has higher anti- Should activity, at high temperature can directly and metallic element carries out selenylation reaction, the pyroprocess persistent period less than 10 minutes was Selenizing vulcanization reaction can be completed, production time and energy consumption are greatly reduced.
The compound semiconductor film of one embodiment, using the preparation method preparation of above-mentioned compound semiconductor film Form.
Prepare in the preparation method of above-claimed cpd semiconductive thin film, two substrates of parallel interval setting are as confinement side Boundary, constitutes confinement reaction compartment, when carrying out selenizing sulfuration simultaneously, can be by the reactant in high-temperature process and volatilization Mutually confine in above-mentioned confinement reaction compartment, thus avoiding the impact out of control that reactant runs off on course of reaction, simultaneously permissible The competitive reaction relation of selenium more rambunctious on microcosmic and sulfur is transferred in the macrospace regulation and control being easier to realize, thus to selenium The process of state, the amount of selenium and selenizing vulcanization reaction all realizes stability contorting, is conducive to applying.
