A kind of three-dimensional silicon substrate micro-nano photonic crystal solar cell
Technical field:
The invention belongs to technical field of solar batteries, is related to a kind of new photonic crystal solar battery structure, special It is not that one kind makes full use of illumination, sunken light and forbidden photon band and slow light effect are organically combined, photoelectric transformation efficiency is high, material section The efficient three-dimensional silicon substrate micro-nano photonic crystal solar cell saved.
Background technology:
Solar cell is a kind of semiconductor devices for converting light energy into electric energy, is the important form of Solar use. Although having much according to matrix material division solar cell species, widely used at present is silica-based solar cell, this It is that photoelectric transformation efficiency is high because silicon material enriches, photoelectric properties stability and reliability are high, and technology is ripe, Without toxic element, environment is not polluted, what the factor such as market acceptance level height determined.
The essence of silica-based solar cell is the PN junction of a large area, and the basis of energy conversion is the light using PN knots Raw Volta effect, is converted solar energy into electrical energy.At present industrialization, large-scale production silicon substrate PN junction material technology into Ripe, but solar battery efficiency is constantly subjected to limit, in order that solar cell obtains more common application, silicon substrate is too at present The emphasis direction of positive energy battery research has two:First, improve photoelectric transformation efficiency;Second, reduce cost.Belle experiment in 1954 Monocrystaline silicon solar cell efficiency prepared by room only has 5.4%, and the silicon solar cell substrate thickness at initial stage is thicker;With Several years afterwards, the efficiency of monocrystalline silicon battery increased 10%;After first time energy crisis in 1973, solar cell research adds It hurry up, not only efficiency improves, and cost also constantly declines.Into 21 century, for green and sustainable development, the sun The research of energy battery enters fast traffic lane.Now, the thickness of silicon substrate can be reduced to 150~200 μm from 350~400 μm, battery Efficiency do not significantly reduce, such as the solar cell that German Fraunhofer companies make, efficiency can reach 23.1%.But It is that when thickness is reduced, the loss of transmitted light can also increase traditional solar cell with the reduction of thickness.Theoretical calculation table It is bright:When material is as thin as 50 μm, due to being thinned for cell thickness, structure is received to the absorption efficiency of longer-wave photons to be lowered.Research shows: Light trapping structure is only used, just can guarantee that the photoelectric transformation efficiency of battery, except battery enters smooth surface anti-reflection and preceding electrode as far as possible less Outside area coverage, for existing sunken light mode mainly after light is injected in cell body, increase light makes suction in the path of absorbed layer Receive the big lower floor's textured material thereon of refractive index of layer, the light for making not absorb again returns to battery obsorbing layer, carry out it is secondary or Repeatedly absorb, for example using single or multiple lift antireflective film, in the antireflective film that silicon face one layer of refractive index of deposition gradually changes, or incite somebody to action Anti-reflection membrane technology and surface wool manufacturing technology are combined, and prepare antireflective film with suede structure etc., but these technologies are present instead Ejected wave section is narrower, and the deficiencies of preparation technology more difficult control, majority research is under test.

For information transfer structure, in order to ensure that signal is undistorted, the structure of low dispersion is obtained, must be requested that ngKeep Stable, i.e., in certain frequency range, f and k keep linear change;In order to think poorly of dispersion slow optical, by ± 10% as folding Penetrate rate ngExcursion be referred to as low dispersion, and introduce dimensionless scalar product D as measurement foundation:D values are bigger, the slower rays of structure Broadband effects are better, see formula (3), and wherein ω is normalized frequency, and Δ ω is with refractive index ng± 10%, which becomes the standard that turns to, chooses;
D=ng×Δω/ω (3)
Solar battery structure in the present invention low chromatic dispersion structure, the requirement to slower rays need not have at 2 points well:One Be slower rays broadband it is larger, so taking centre frequency ± 5 or 10% ± 10% bandwidth as effective slower rays;Second, group reflects The average value of rate is relatively large, that is, takes in the range of centre frequency ± 10%, passes through the average value n of group indexavgTo weigh photon Group velocity, so, in the range of one fixed width, corresponding group index average is bigger, signify photon have it is smaller Average group velocity, thus enters new dimensionless scalar product D ':
D'=navg×Δω/ω (4)
Moreover, slower rays area thickness only has 50 μm, preceding electrode is just embedded in linear defect wave-guide, so design the advantages of be: One is due to that preceding electrode is embedded in linear defect wave-guide bottom, few to the inhalation effects of illumination;Second, slower rays plot structure makes the group of light Speed diminishes, and is easy to absorption of the material to light, so as to produce more carriers and keep its stable displacement;Third, Preceding electrode and back electrode it is closer to the distance, greatly reduce the compound of carrier, equivalent gate electrode resistance is also accordingly reduced, so as to Improve the photoelectric transformation efficiency of battery.
