Abstract

Cellule photovoltaique polycristalline à film mince et son procédé de préparation, obtenue par le dépôt d'une couche semi-conductrice sur une couche conductrice formant électrode, l'adhérence entre les deux couches étant sensiblement améliorée. On incorpore une faible quantité de l'élément conducteur de la couche conductrice dans la couche semi-conductrice, cet élément conducteur étant de l'étain, du zinc, de l'indium, du gallium ou de l'aluminium, et cette faible quantité étant de l'ordre de 0,01 mole à 0,0001 mole par mole du composant métallique ou principal de la couche semi-conductrice. Application à toute cellule photovoltaique à film mince.Thin-film polycrystalline photovoltaic cell and its preparation process, obtained by depositing a semiconductor layer on a conductive layer forming an electrode, the adhesion between the two layers being significantly improved. A small amount of the conductive element of the conductive layer is incorporated into the semiconductor layer, this conductive element being tin, zinc, indium, gallium or aluminum, and this small amount being of the order of 0.01 mole to 0.0001 mole per mole of the metal or main component of the semiconductor layer. Application to any thin film photovoltaic cell.
