Der Halbleitergrundkörper vom ersten Leitungstyp weist eine gleichmäßige Dotierung auf. An einer Oberflächenseite des Halbleiterkörpers ist eine dünne, gegenüber dem Grundkörper höher dotierte Zone vom zweiten Leitungstyp vorgesehen. Beide Zonen der Solarzelle sind auf gegenüberliegenden Oberflächenseiten des Halbleiterkörpers mit einem strukturierten, wesentliche Bereiche der Halbleiteroberfläche unbedeckt lassenden Leitbahnsystem kontaktiert. Vorzugsweise ist die Oberflächenseite des Halbleiterkörpers, in die die Zone vom zweiten Leitungstyp eingelassen ist, für die Lichteinstrahlung aus der Haupteinfallsrichtung mit der höheren Intensität vorgesehen, während die unempfindlichere, gegenüberliegende Rückseite des Halbleiterkörpers für den Eintritt des Lichtes aus der Einfallsrichtung mit geringerer Intensität vorgesehen ist.It is a solar cell made up of a disc-shaped, for both sides Irradiation provided semiconductor body known which has a pn junction contains (DE-OS 33 08 269). The semiconductor base body of the first conductivity type has a uniform doping. On one surface side of the Semiconductor body, a thin zone of the second conductivity type which is more highly doped than the base body is provided. Both zones of the solar cell are uncovered on opposite surface sides of the semiconductor body with a structured, essential area of the semiconductor surface contacting the channel system. The surface side of the semiconductor body into which the zone of the second conductivity type is embedded is preferably is intended for the light irradiation from the main direction of incidence with the higher intensity, while the less sensitive, opposite one Rear side of the semiconductor body is provided for the entry of light from the direction of incidence with a lower intensity.

Beim Aufbringen einer derartigen Solarzelle auf ein nicht-transparentes Trägersubstrat wird nachteiligerweise die von der Solarzelle nicht aufgefangene IR-Strahlung durch das Substrat absorbiert. Die Solarzelle ist Temperaturerhöhungen und damit Wirkungsgradverlusten ausgesetzt.When applying such a solar cell to a non-transparent one The disadvantage of the carrier substrate is that the IR radiation not captured by the solar cell is absorbed by the substrate. The solar cell is Exposed to temperature increases and thus loss of efficiency.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Solarzelle der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der eine optische und thermische Optimierung des Systems Solarzelle/Trägersubstrat und damit eine Verbesserung des elektrischen Betriebswirkungsgrades der Solarzelle erzielt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a solar cell of the type mentioned at the beginning to create the type mentioned, in which an optical and thermal optimization of the solar cell / carrier substrate system and thus an improvement the electrical efficiency of the solar cell achieved will.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention, the object is achieved by the characterizing features of Claim 1 solved.
Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 7 beschrieben. Refinements of the invention are described in subclaims 2 to 7.
Ein Vorteil der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, daß eine maximale IP-Reflektion realisierbar ist, wodurch eine minimale Betriebstemperatur der für beidseitige Bestrahlung vorgesehenen Solarzelle erreicht wird. Von Vorteil ist auch der mögliche Einsatz der Solarzelle auf allen transparenten oder nichttransparenten Trägersubstraten.An advantage of the invention can be seen in the fact that a maximum IP reflection can be realized, whereby a minimum operating temperature of the solar cell provided for double-sided irradiation is achieved. Advantageous is also the possible use of the solar cell on all transparent or non-transparent carrier substrates.
In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Erfindung dargestellt, und zwar zeigt die einzige Figur eine schematische,nicht maßstabsgerechte Seitenansicht einer auf einem Trägersubstrat 1 angeordneten Solarzelle 2. Diese Solarzelle besteht aus einem für die beiderseitige Bestrahlung vorgesehenen Halbleiterkörper 3, auf dessen gegenüberliegenden, die Unter- bzw. Oberseite der Solarzelle 2 bildenden Oberflächenseiten jeweils ein strukturiertes, wesentliche Oberflächenbereiche unbedeckt lassendes Leitbahnsystem angeordnet ist. Die Leitbahnsysteme sind mit 4 bzw. 5 bezeichnet, wobei mit dem oberen Leitbahnsystem 4 ein Verbinder 6 elektrisch leitend verbunden ist. Den oberen Abschluß der Solarzelle 2 bildet ein vorzugsweise mit einem transparenten Kleber aufgeklebtesIn the drawing, an embodiment according to the invention is shown, namely, the single figure shows a schematic, not to scale Side view of a solar cell 2 arranged on a carrier substrate 1. This solar cell consists of a solar cell for two-sided irradiation provided semiconductor body 3, on its opposite, the lower or upper side of the solar cell 2 forming surface sides in each case a structured, essential surface areas leaving uncovered interconnect system is arranged.

Zwischen dem Trägersubstrat 1, bei dem es sich um eine nichttransparente, sogenannte Rigidstruktur handeln kann, und dem Halbleiterkörper 3 ist ein reflektierendes Medium 9 angeordnet. Die optischen Eigenschaften dieses Mediums 9, beispielsweise einer Folie aus beliebigem reflektierendem Werkstoff oder aus Aluminium,sind an die Systemeigenschaften angepaßt. Die mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Halbleiterkörper 2 und dem reflektierenden Medium 9 erfolgt durch einen transparenten Kleber, dessen Klebeschicht 10 aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich ist. Das Medium 9 kann entweder auf dem Trägersubstrat 1 aufgeklebt sein oder es kann integraler Bestandteil dieses Trägersubstrates sein.Between the carrier substrate 1, which is a non-transparent, so-called rigid structure can act, and the semiconductor body 3 is a reflective medium 9 is arranged. The optical properties of this medium 9, for example a film made of any reflective Material or aluminum, are adapted to the system properties. the mechanical connection between the semiconductor body 2 and the reflective medium 9 is made by a transparent adhesive, its adhesive layer 10 can be seen from the drawing. The medium 9 can either be glued to the carrier substrate 1 or it can be an integral part of this carrier substrate.
Durch das reflektierende Medium 9 wird die an der Oberseite der Solarzelle 2 eintretende, den Halbleiterkörper 3 durchsetzende IR-Strahlung reflektiert. Die reflektierte IR-Strahlung tritt somit von der Unter- / Seite der Solarzelle 1 wieder in den Halbleiterkörper 3 ein. Dies hat , The IR radiation entering the top of the solar cell 2 and penetrating the semiconductor body 3 is reflected by the reflecting medium 9. The reflected IR radiation thus re-enters the semiconductor body 3 from the underside / side of the solar cell 1. This has,
zur Folge, daß kein Anteil der IR-Strahlung durch das Trägersubstrat 1 absorbiert werden kann. Die Solarzelle 1 unterliegt keiner Temperaturerhöhung. Es wird daher eine optische und thermische Optimierung und damit eine wesentliche Verbesserung des elektrischen Wirkungsgrades in der Größenordnung von etwa 7 % erreicht.As a result, no portion of the IR radiation can be absorbed by the carrier substrate 1. The solar cell 1 is not subject to any increase in temperature. Optical and thermal optimization and thus a significant improvement in electrical efficiency in the order of about 7 % are therefore achieved.
