Description
図1は本発明の一実施の形態に係る積層型光起電力装置の構造を示す模式的断面図である。
なお、上記実施の形態の積層型光起電力装置では、支持基板100とフロントセル300との間に1つのボトムセル200が設けられているが、支持基板100とフロントセル300との間に複数のボトムセルが積層されてもよい。その場合にも、上記実施の形態と同様の効果が得られる。ただし、光入射面側から1番目の光起電力素子の光電変換層が非晶質シリコンからなるとともに、2番目以降の光起電力素子の光電変換層が微結晶シリコンからなり、1番目の光起電力素子の光電変換層中の不純物濃度よりも2番目以降の光起電力素子の光電変換層中の不純物濃度が高いことが必要である。
実施例1の積層型光起電力装置の作製条件を表1に示し、比較例1の積層型光起電力装置の作製条件を表2に示す。
実施例2の積層型光起電力装置の作製条件を表5に示し、比較例2の積層型光起電力装置の作製条件を表6に示す。
実施例3の積層型光起電力装置の作製条件を表9に示し、比較例3の積層型光起電力装置の作製条件を表10に示す。
層型光起電力装置の他方の部分に160分間光を照射した後、AM−1.5、100mW/cm2 および25℃の条件で光を照射し出力特性を測定した。光照射後の出力特性の値を光照射前の初期特性の値で除算することにより規格化された出力特性を算出した。規格化された出力特性として規格化変換効率、規格化開放電圧、規格化短絡電流および規格化曲線因子を表12に示す。
