Abstract

The present invention is a kind of Laser scribing techniques for improving cadmium telluride film solar cells test accuracy, discloses a kind of accurate method for defining cadmium telluride film solar cells area, belongs to the structure-design technique field of compound semiconductor film solar cell.By using pulse Nd:YAG laser carries out laser grooving and scribing to the CdTe thin film solar cell with complete device structure, the presence that metal electrode edge residual absorption layer material CdTe can be eliminated causes the lateral collection of incident light to lead to electric current virtual height, eliminate edge remnants cadmium tellurides in the same time influences caused by devices in series resistor coupled in parallel resistance, so as to provide a kind of economically viable accurate cadmium telluride film solar cells area that defines so as to obtain the method for more believable battery efficiency curve.

Description

A kind of Laser scribing techniques for improving cadmium telluride film solar cells test accuracy
Technical field
The invention belongs to the structure-design technique fields of compound semiconductor film solar cell.
Background technology
CdTe is a kind of direct band-gap semicondictor, energy gap 1.45eV, the optimal taboo needed for very close solar cell Bandwidth.CdTe is very strong to the absorption of visible ray, and absorption coefficient is up to ~ 105cm-1, to light energy higher than CdTe energy gaps For sunlight, the CdTe of 1 μ m-thick can effectively absorb 99% light, be to be highly suitable as solar cell absorbed layer Material.From the n-CdTe/p-Cu of Cusano report first cases photoelectric conversion efficiency 7% in 19632-xThe Te hetero-junction thin-film sun Since battery, CdTe material just by focus of attention and develops p-CdTe/n-CdS hetero-junction solar cells and continues to use and be developed so far. The highest transfer efficiency of small area CdTe thin film solar cell is up to 22.1% at present, it has also become the emphasis of area of solar cell One of research object.Although CdTe thin film solar cell transfer efficiency is more than 20%, between its theoretical conversion efficiencies still There is larger difference, the inherent physical mechanism of some energy losses is still not clear.Therefore in CdTe solar cells and component in object The research of reason mechanism is very necessary.The damage of battery efficiency may be influenced to the area of accurate definition unit battery by not introducing other simultaneously Evil is that further investigation has an impact the basic premise that battery efficiency advanced optimizes inherent physical mechanism.Develop it is a kind of it is convenient can The small area battery preparation technique repeated is particularly important.However not yet someone carries out the play-by-play of related process.
Invention content
It is proposed that with pulse Nd:YAG laser(Wavelength 532nm)To formed device/component of completed cell structure into It is prepared by row small areaization.This method is applicable not only to (1) and defined device area but because of absorbed layer near electrode with mask plate Remnants, which introduce lateral collection, leads to the battery of current density virtual height, and suitable for (2) unencapsulated protection battery localizing electrode damage Efficiency caused by wound is distorted battery.In addition, the technology is also applied for (3) by area battery delineation into needing strict difinition area Unit baby battery.
The technology path of above-mentioned (1) is uniformly to be coated with SnO successively according to standard CdTe solar cells preparation flow2:F Window layer/buffer layer, absorbed layer, back contact are deposited on the substrate of transparent conductive film and corresponding rear place is carried out to each film layer Reason finally plates gold electrode in the region for it is expected stroke completed cell structure with mask technique with vacuum vapor deposition method.Such preparation For battery ambient prepared by method completely by other layers of covering, the method that tradition detaches single small area element cell is in gold electrode Back contact around and following light-absorption layer after black glue curing with bromine methanol are cleaned up, finally use first by upper coating black glue Black glue is washed away the i.e. available element cell substantially close to back electrode area by benzole soln.However during actual test, by Temporarily electrode section is precisely covered without effective method, all there is the range of 1mm or so around back electrode in coating black glue CdTe layer is remaining, this is that CdTe efficiency of solar cell is caused to test one of the main reason for inaccurate, and remaining absorbed layer is being surveyed Sunlight can be absorbed during examination, photo-generated carrier is contributed, makes test result short circuit currents density virtual height.
Under above-mentioned (2) situation, the completed cell of laboratory or factory's preparation is in unencapsulated preservation or test process In, it is unobstructed to introduce electrode damage, especially in battery edge, so as to influence the photovoltaic performance of battery.Especially carrying out ring During the weatherability test of border, such damage can cause the erroneous judgement to battery device stability.
Above-mentioned (3) situation is usually that factory carries out the battery component produced in batches on production line palpus during explication de texte characterization In face of the problem of.The acceptable element cell of the basis characterization method such as many related solar cell device physics, carrier transport Area is often in 1cm2 and hereinafter, therefore how while being divided into baby battery by area battery, precisely defining its area Do not introduce other physically or chemically damage seek advanced optimize battery performance in terms of it is significant.
The invention discloses it is a kind of with 532 laser the CdTe thin film solar cell of complete device structure is carried out again it is accurate Define the defocus rose method of area.Specifically, Nd is used:YAG pulse lasers are as light source, by adjusting beam expanding lens position, light Distance, the adjustment modes such as repetition rate and power factor are fought each other in battery device between late aperture, laser emitting mouth and workbench On power be adjusted, it is thus identified that the work for all removing other functional film layers under conditions of transparent conductive film layer is not injured Skill parameter and operating condition.

Fig. 2 is laser scribing process.
Fig. 3 is the battery LBIC figures delineated using pulse laser.
Fig. 4 is the I-V curve and characterisitic parameter of laser grooving and scribing battery before and after the processing.
Specific embodiment
Embodiment is referring to Fig. 1 Fig. 2, and the 121 of Fig. 1,122 steps are the systems that tradition is small area CdTe thin film solar cell Standby technique, that is, after deposited metal back electrode with mask plate, first by back electrode part, with black glue, carefully coating covers completely, Other functional layers except electrode are washed away with bromine methanol solution after black glue curing, finally remove black glue.123 refer to 121 On the basis of 122, one is defined compared with the more accurate cell area of mask method smaller with laser grooving and scribing.In the gold electricity being originally defined Inwardly 2mm is arrived in delineation 1 at pole edge, and the element cell fracture delineated under the conditions of this is neat, no residual absorption layer interference, this Outside, as shown in Fig. 2, entire scoring system and portraying technique and accurately being controlled via computer, delineation pattern, figure, laser power The parameters such as the factor can all be adjusted on demand, and repeatability is high, and area is accurate.
