Abstract

The utility model relates to a thin-film solar cell with high photon-to-electron conversion efficiency, which comprises a glass substrate, a stannic oxide fluorine-doped transparent conductive film layer, a P-type amorphous silicon thin-film layer, an I-type amorphous silicon thin-film layer, an N-type amorphous silicon thin-film layer and a metal back electrode. A zinc oxide aluminum-doped transparent conductive film layer is arranged between the N-type amorphous silicon thin-film layer and the metal back electrode. A layer of zinc oxide aluminum-mixed (AZO) transparent conductive film is deposited with a method of magnetron sputtering before an Al or Ag back electrode is sputtered. The novel cell structure increases short circuit current by about 5 percent compared with the traditional cell structure.

Background technology
The crystal silicon cell cost is high, impels businessman more and more to pay close attention to the research and development of thin-film solar cells, and how to improve emphasis and the difficult point that its electricity conversion is the PV industry research always for hull cell.
Silica-based solar cell all is by the photovoltaic effect work of p-n junction up to now, depend primarily on the incident solar ray energy from the height of principle battery performance what are absorbed, can photo-generated carrier effectively produce and collect, and concrete is then decided by the quality of material, device architecture and technology.
Improve the electricity conversion of thin-film solar cells, except improving the film quality, a very important aspect is exactly to improve the light utilization efficiency of hull cell.Can consider two kinds of methods at present: first kind is the number of photons that improves to go into to inject battery, reduce the reflection photon of battery surface, the matte design concept of electrode or employing antireflection coatings before normally adopting, above-mentioned mode all can effectively reduce the incident light surface to the reflection of light effect, improved the luminous flux that incident light enters battery, wherein surface-texturing be general also be the most practical measure.
Second method is to improve the structure of device, increases the reflex of back electrode to transmitted light, increases the path that sunlight is propagated at absorbed layer, and usual way is exactly to adopt metal back electrode to strengthen reflex to transmitted light.
The reflex of metal back electrode has reduced to a certain extent because the thin partially institute of hull cell causes the optical transmission loss; But metal electrode directly contacts with Si and can cause metallic atom to be diffused in the Si film, cause the quality of Si film to descend, sometimes reduced the electricity conversion of battery on the contrary, in addition because the extinction coefficient of the material of metal electrode own is bigger, incident light to the long-wavelength region has very strong absorption, cause the photon outside the blue light to can not get effective reflection, make incident photon can not get the application of maximal efficiency.
