- the conductive oxide layer 16 can be formed by a CVD method, a sputtering method, a sol-gel method, or the like. However, considering the manufacturing cost and the ease of reducing the resistance of the surface conductive layer, the conductive oxide layer 16 is formed by the CVD method. Is preferred.

Abstract
Description
前記第一酸化物構造層には、前記ガラス基板の面から突出した複数の凸部が設けられ、前記凸部の前記ガラス基板の面からの高さは200nm以上2000nm以下であり、前記複数の凸部のうち隣接した凸部間の凹の深さが、前記第一酸化物構造層の平均高さの2割以上ある凹部の角度の平均値をA1、該凹部の領域の上に形成された前記第二酸化物層の凹部の角度の平均値をA2とした時に、A2/A1が1.1以上であることを特徴とする透明導電膜基板を提供する。
さらに、C光源で測定したヘイズ率が50%以上であることが好ましい。C光源で測定したヘイズ率が85%以上であることがより好ましい。
また、前記第二酸化物層は、屈折率1.58~1.9の酸化物層で形成されていることが好ましい。
前記第二酸化物層は、シリコンと錫の混合酸化物またはシリコンとチタンの混合酸化物で構成されていることが好ましい。
また、前記混合酸化物の錫とシリコンのモル比は、0.4:0.6~0.6:0.4であることが好ましい。
さらに、前記導電性酸化物層は、フッ素を含有した酸化錫で構成されていることが好ましい。
太陽電池等の光電変換デバイスに用いる、高い光閉じこめ性を有する基板を作製するには、ガラス基板上に第一酸化物構造層が形成され、その上に膜状の第二酸化物層が形成され、更にその上に導電性の酸化物層が形成される。第一酸化物構造層の形状は基板上に離散的に配置された形状を持つ。第一酸化物構造層の島状の構造物の高さは200nm以上2000nm以下である。200nm未満では長波長の有効な光閉じこめ性が得られず、また、2000nm超では島状の構造物による光吸収が大きくなるためである。さらに、300nm以上1000nm以下であることが好ましい。第一酸化物構造層は、CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition)法、ナノインプリント法、フォトリソプロセスなどにより作製することが可能であるが、製造コストや大面積の成膜が容易な点などからCVD法を用いるのが好ましい。
なお、上記特許文献2に記載される導電性酸化物付き基体は、大きい粒径の結晶で構成される第一の酸化物を離散的に分散した酸化物構造をガラス基板の上に設け、その上に、導電性膜として機能する第二の酸化物からなる連続層を形成し、必要に応じて、第一の酸化物と第二の酸化物と組成が異なる酸化物からなる層を、上記第一の酸化物と第二の酸化物との間に設ける構成である。本発明は、上記特許文献2に記載の基体に対して、後述するように、A2/A1を規定している点で異なる。
図1に示す透明導電膜基板10は、第一酸化物構造層12、第二酸化物層14、および導電性酸化物層16が、その順にガラス基板18に形成されて構成されている。
ここで第一酸化物構造層12の平均高さ22とは以下のように定義される。透明導電膜の断面を観察したとき、島状に離散した凸部10点の高さを計測し、その合計を凸部の個数で割った値である。
また、第一酸化物構造層12の凹部の角度24とは、以下のように定義される。透明導電膜の断面を観察したとき、略直線で構成される凹部の角度であり、平均値とは、10点の測定における平均値である。
また、第一酸化物構造層12の凹の深さ20とは以下のように定義される。図3に示すように透明導電膜の断面を観察したとき、略直線で構成される凹部の底部Pa、凹部を構成する略直線の逆側の端で、別の略直線との交点であるPb、Pc(以下、エッジPb、エッジPcと呼ぶ)間を直線mで結び、凹部の底部Paからガラス基板18の面に対して垂直線を引き、この垂直線とエッジ間の直線mとの交点Pxとしたとき、PaからPxの高さ(図3中の矢印部分の高さ)とする。
ここで、第二酸化物層14の凹部の角度26は、以下のように定義される。
図2に示すように、透明導電膜の断面を観察したとき、第一酸化物構造層12の極小位置をPa、凹部の左右のエッジ位置をそれぞれPb、Pcとし、第二酸化物層14の凹部の極小位置をPdとしたとき、線分PaPdを凹部の中心線とする。点Pb、点Pcのそれぞれを通り上記中心線と平行な直線を引いたとき、上記中心線との距離をL1、L2とする。距離L1、L2のうち、大きくないほうの距離をLとする。このとき、上記中心線からLの5分の1の距離離れた位置を通る上記中心線に平行な直線が第二酸化物層14の表面の線(稜線)と交わる点をPe、Pfとする。このとき、線分PePdと線分PdPfの交わる角度を第二酸化物層14の凹部の角度26と定める。
A2/A1が1.1以上の場合、第一酸化物構造層12の急峻な凹凸形状の上に、曲線で構成される緩やかな形状の第二酸化物層14が形成される。この構造の上に更に透明導電性膜を構成した透明導電膜基板を用いて太陽電池を作製すると、電池特性の向上が見られる。A2/A1が1.2以上ある場合、の第二酸化物層14の凹凸形状が更に緩やかになり光電変換の向上がより見られる。このような第二酸化物層14は、膜厚が20nm~200nmであることが好ましく、50nm~100nmがより好ましい。
第二酸化物層14は、ガラス基板18の屈折率と導電性酸化物層16の屈折率との中間の屈折率を有する材料であることが好ましい。中間の屈折率を有する材料を用いることで、第二酸化物層14の膜厚が20nm~200nm程度となっても、透過率が減少しないためである。第二酸化物層14のd線屈折率は1.58~1.9が好ましく、1.6~1.8がより好ましい。
本発明の透明導電膜基板を用いた光電変換の改善効果は、導電性酸化物層16まで膜を積層した状態で、C光源で測定したヘイズ率が50%以上ある場合に優れ、85%以上であればより顕著になり、ヘイズ率が90%以上の透明導電膜基板において更に顕著に表れる。
第二酸化物層14はCVD法、スパッタリング法、ゾルゲル法などで作製することが可能であるが、製造コストや表面導電層の低抵抗化の容易さなどを考えるとCVD法で作製するのが好ましい。CVD法で第二酸化物層14を作成する場合、シリコン原料としてはモノシラン、モノクロロシラン、ジクロロシラン、トリクロロシラン、テトラクロロシラン、テトラエトキシシランなどの無機または有機のシラン化合物を用いることが出来る。この内、テトラクロロシラン、トリクロロシラン、ジクロロシランなどの塩化シラン類はモノシランのように反応が速すぎてチャンバーの気相中で反応が進み、粉状の反応物が発生することが無く、また、爆発性も低いなど取り扱いが容易であり好ましい。
また、本発明に用いるガラス基板がソーダライムガラスからなる場合、ガラス中のアルカリ成分が透明導電性膜側に拡散することを防ぐために、ガラス基板と透明導電性膜の間にアルカリバリア層を設けてもよい。アルカリバリア層としては、シリカ(SiO2)層が好適である。
(実施例1)
(a)第一酸化物構造層の形成
1.1mm厚のソーダライムガラス基板をガラス基板18(10cm角)として用い、このガラス基板18に、アルカリバリア層としてシリカ膜を作製した。シリカ膜の作製は、ソーダライムガラス基板を、ベルトコンベア炉において500℃に加熱し、このガラス基板上に、5mol%のシランガスを含有した窒素ガスを4リットル/分の条件で、酸素ガスを20リットル/分の条件で、同時に吹き付けて行った。
次に、このシリカ膜付きガラス基板に第一酸化物構造層12を形成した。ここでは、第一酸化物構造層12の形成方法として、最初に凸部の基点となる核を作製し、次に製造条件を変えて凸部を製造する2段式の方法で行った。第一酸化物構造層12の形成には、上記と同様のベルトコンベア炉においてシリカ膜付きガラス基板を540℃に加熱し、キャリアガスとして窒素ガスを用い、第一酸化物構造層12を形成する原料ガスとして、四塩化錫、水および塩化水素を用いた。該キャリアガスと該原料ガスとの合計ガス量に対する四塩化錫の濃度を0.1体積%として、5nmの質量膜厚の核をシリカ膜上に形成した。この後、該合計ガス量における四塩化錫の濃度を0.9体積%として、凸部の平均高さが620nmの離散した凸部を有する第一酸化物構造層12を形成した。このとき、AFM(原子間力顕微鏡)を用いて第一酸化物構造層12を測定すると、平均0.4個/μm2の密度で、酸化錫からなる凸部が離散して形成された。なお、ここでは、質量膜厚とは、酸化錫からなる凸部の質量から体積を計算して、成膜面積に均等に膜が付いたと仮定した時の膜厚である。また、凸部の平均高さは電子顕微鏡(SEM)で透明導電膜まで作製した後、断面を測定して求めた。
第一酸化物構造層12が形成されたガラス基板を5等分し、その一枚をバッチ型の電気炉において550℃に加熱し、キャリアガスとして窒素ガスを用い、錫の酸化物を形成する原料ガスとして四塩化錫、シリカを形成する原料ガスとして四塩化シランを用い、第一酸化物構造層12上に第二酸化物層14を形成した。これらの原料ガスを四塩化錫と四塩化シランの合計が0.1体積%になるように窒素ガスと混合し、水蒸気とともに第一酸化物構造層12が形成されたガラス基板に吹き付け、錫とシリコンの混合酸化物からなる膜(第二酸化物層14)を形成した。この膜の表面組成をESCA(Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis)で分析したところ、錫とシリコンの元素比は0.5:0.5であった。
第一酸化物構造層12、第二酸化物層14が形成されたガラス基板を再びベルトコンベア炉において540℃に加熱し、四塩化錫、水、フッ化水素を同時に吹き付け、常圧CVD法を用いることで、フッ素ドープ酸化錫膜(導電性酸化物層16)を形成し透明導電膜基板10を得た。

実施例1で作製した第一酸化物構造層12が形成されたガラス基板の5等分の一枚を用い、実施例1と同じ装置で第二酸化物層を形成した。このときの層の形成温度、用いる原料の四塩化スズ、四塩化シランも、実施例1と同じであるが、原料ガスの混合比率を実施例1と変えて、実施例1と異なる錫:シリコン比を持つ第二酸化物層を作製した。
実施例1と同様にシリカのみを成膜した物性評価用ガラス基板に、この膜を同時に作製し、ESCAにより表面組成を観測したところ、Sn:Si=0.8:0.2であった。また、実施例1と同様に触針式膜厚測定器により膜厚を測定したところ、100(nm)であった。また、実施例1と同様に測定したd線屈折率は1.98であった。

実施例2は、比較例1と比べ光電変換効率は1.64倍に上昇しており、また、C光源透過率は0.4%増加しており第二酸化物層14の効果が確認できる。
実施例3は、比較例1と比べ光電変換効率は1.61倍に上昇しているが、C光源透過率は0.5%減少している。透過率の減少は第二酸化物層14を厚くしたため光吸収が増えたためと考えられる。しかしながら、光透過率の減少よりも急峻な凹凸形状を緩やかにした効果が大きく、結果として光電変換効率が大きく向上しており、第二酸化物層の効果が確認できる。
なお、図4に示すように、光電変換効率の上昇はA2/A1が1.1以上で有効であることが確認できる。

実施例5で作製した第一酸化物構造層12が形成されたガラス基板の4等分の一枚を用い、第二酸化物層14の形成原料としてテトラエトキシシランとチタンテトライソプロポキサイトを用いて、加熱したガラスを毎分1mの速さで動かしながら原料を吹きつけ、厚さを60nmの第二酸化層14を形成した。第二酸化物層の組成、物性などは表3に示す。その後、実施例1と同様に、導電性酸化物層16の成膜まで行って透明導電膜基板10を作製した。この透明導電膜基板10のC光源透過率とヘイズ率はそれぞれ、81.0%、91.2%であった。また、作製した透明導電膜基板10を切断し、その切断面をSEMで観測し、第一酸化物構造層12の凹の深さが、第一酸化物構造層の平均高さの2割以上ある凹部の角度を測定し、平均値A1を計算したところ105.4度であった。また、測定した凹部の領域の上部にある第二酸化物層14の凹部の角度を測定し、平均値A2を計算したところ、118.2度であった。この場合、A2/A1=1.21である。
この基板を用いて実施例4と同様に、i層としてa-Si:H(水素をドープしたa-Si)層を400nmの厚さで作成した太陽電池セルを作製し、上記方法で光電変換性能を評価した。本実施例の光電変換効率は、第一酸化物構造層12まで同じ基板を用いてi層厚さを400nmとした比較例4と比較した。結果を表4に示す。
実施例5で作製した第一酸化物構造層12が形成されたガラス基板の4等分の一枚を用い、第二酸化物層として、特許文献2(特開2005-347490号公報)に記載されているものと同様な方法で、厚さ15nmのシリカ膜を作製した。第二酸化物層の組成、物性などは表3に示す。その後、この基板上に実施例1と同様の方法で導電性酸化物層16に対応する導電膜を作製した。作製した透明導電膜基板のC光源透過率とヘイズ率はそれぞれ、79.0%、85.0%であり、特許文献2に記載されている有効なヘイズ率の範囲である90%以下の上限に近いことを確認した。実施例1と同様に測定したd線屈折率は1.45であった。作製した透明導電膜基板を切断し、その切断面をSEMで観測し、第一酸化物構造層の凹の深さが第一酸化物構造層の平均高さの2割以上ある凹部の角度を測定し、平均値A1を計算したところ104.8度であった。また、また、測定した凹部の領域の上部にある第二酸化物層14の凹部の角度を測定し、平均値A2を計算したところ、108.4度であった。この場合、A2/A1=1.03である。この基板を用いて実施例4と同様に、i層としてa-Si:H(水素をドープしたa-Si)層を400nmの厚さで作製した太陽電池セルを作製し、上記方法で光電変換性能を評価した。作成されたセルの光電変換効率は比較例1と比較して1.49倍であった。
実施例5~7、および比較例3、4では、使用したi層の厚さを実施例1~4、および比較例1~2と比較して厚くしたため、主としてi層成膜時に発生すると考えられる欠陥の影響が小さくなり電池効率の差が低くなっている。すなわち、電池の構成を変えて、より高性能な電池を作製する場合においても、本発明のようにA2/A1が1.1以上ある透明電電膜を作製することにより、光電変換性能を上げることが可能である。
実施例1と同様な手段で原料ガスの四塩化錫、水および塩化水素の比率を調整し、高さ700nm、平均密度0.6個/μm2の酸化錫粒子からなる第一酸化物構造層12が形成されたガラス基板を作製し、2枚に切断した。この2等分の一枚を用い、第二酸化物層14の形成原料としてトリクロロシランと四塩化錫を用いて、加熱したガラスを毎分3mの速さで動かしながら原料を吹きつけ、厚さを70nmの第二酸化層14を形成した。第二酸化物層の組成、物性などは表3に示す。その後、実施例1と同様に、導電性酸化物層16の成膜まで行って透明導電膜基板10を作製した。この透明導電膜基板10のC光源透過率とヘイズ率はそれぞれ、77.6%、93.1%であった。また、作製した透明導電膜基板10を切断し、その切断面をSEMで観測し、第一酸化物構造層12の凹の深さが、第一酸化物構造層の平均高さの2割以上ある凹部の角度を測定し、平均値A1を計算したところ79.0度であった。また、測定した凹部の領域の上部にある第二酸化物層14の凹部の角度を測定し、平均値A2を計算したところ、127.0度であった。この場合、A2/A1=1.61である。
作製した透明導電膜基板10を用いた太陽電池の光電変換の性能を調べるため、透明導電膜基板10の一部を切り出し、その上にpin型のアモルファスシリコン-微結晶シリコンのタンデム型太陽電池を形成した。アモルファスシリコン膜としてはp層としてa-SiC:B(ホウ素をドープした)層(20nm)、i層としてa-Si:H(水素をドープしたa-Sia-SiC)層(150nm)、n層として微結晶-Si:P(リンをドープした微結晶Si)層(40nm)を、この順にプラズマCVD法により形成した。この後、微結晶シリコン膜として微結晶Si:H:B(水素、ホウ素ドープの微結晶Si)層(30nm)、i層として微結晶-Si:H(水素をドープした微結晶-Si)層(1.5μm)、n層として微結晶-Si:H:P(水素、リンをドープの微結晶Si)層(40nm)をこの順にプラズマCVD法により形成した。この後、GaをドープしたZnOを20nm形成した後、Al電極をスパッタリング法により形成し、太陽電池セルを作製した。太陽電池部分の大きさは5mm角である。
作製したタンデム型の太陽電池の光電変換効率は、実施例1~7のアモルファス型太陽電池の効率と比較して15%以上向上していた。さらに、第二酸化物層の効果をアモルファス型太陽電池のものとは単純に比較できないため、第二酸化物層のみを変えてタンデム型太陽電池を作製した比較例5と電池効率を比較した。その結果、光電変換効率は4%向上していることが確認できた。
また、作製したタンデム型太陽電池をイオンビームにより切断し、断面を電子顕微鏡で観測したところ、長さ40ミクロンの切断面の中にシリコンの欠陥と思われる空隙が1カ所確認された。同様の観測を比較例5で作製したタンデム型太陽電池に対して行ったところ、長さ40ミクロンの切断面の中にシリコンの欠陥と思われる空隙が8カ所確認された。先の光電変換効率の向上は、このようなシリコン欠陥の減少が寄与していると考えられる。

第二酸化物層の材料をSiとSnの酸化物とした場合、光電変換効率が変わる理由は、はっきり分かっていないが、第二酸化物層上に成膜した酸化錫を例にとると下記のように考えられる。
第二酸化物層の種類と膜厚を変え、その他の条件は同一にして、第二酸化物層の上に酸化錫を導電膜として成膜した後に、同じ条件で太陽電池を形成して、太陽電池の光電変換効率を比較した。また、実施例10~12ならびに比較例7について酸化錫まで成膜した基板の一部を切り出し、そのX線回折強度を測定し、酸化錫結晶の(200)と(110)の強度の比を比較した。結果を表5に示す。
比較例7では、(200)/(110)の比は0.98であった。その断面SEM像を図6に示す。実施例10~12では、(200)/(110)の比は1.15~1.29であった。図5に実施例 の断面SEM像を示す。光電変換効率(実施例10~12)が良いものは、第一酸化物構造層の凸部上に第二酸化物層を介して放射状に酸化錫(導電性酸化物層)の結晶子が確認できた。すなわち、放射状に結晶子が伸びているために(200)で配向し、X線回折強度の比では(200)/(110)が1.15~1.29という(200)で配向が強いことが分かる。比較例7では第二酸化物層を介して第一酸化物構造層の上にある酸化錫の結晶子はランダムな形になっているために、X線回折強度の比は0.98と小さく、平均すると酸化錫の(200)配向は悪くなる。配向が良い酸化錫の表面は、配向が同じ結晶子でできており、比較的均一な形状になっている。この場合の表面のSEM像を図7に示す。これに対してX線回折強度の比が0.98である、配向が悪い酸化錫表面では、結晶子がランダムに配置され、その結果、最表面層の凹凸が不均一となると考えられる。不均一な凹凸の上に積層した導電性酸化物層は、実施例8および比較例5において記載したシリコン欠陥が多く発生して、その結果、光電変換効率が低下すると考えられる。
