- the open circuit voltage (Voc) is an output when the terminal is opened, and the short circuit current density (Jsc) is obtained by dividing the short circuit current (Isc), which is a current when the terminal is shorted, by the effective area.
- the fill factor (FF) is the product of the voltage at the maximum output point (maximum voltage value (Vmax)) and the current at the maximum output point (maximum current value (Imax)), which is the point that gives the maximum output. (Voc) divided by the product of the short circuit current (Isc).
- the residual amount of SO 3 in the glass was 100 to 500 ppm.
- Tables 1 to 5 are calculated values. Specific calculation of power generation efficiency and Na diffusion amount was obtained as follows. The power generation efficiency was determined from a regression equation in which the ratio before and after heat treatment of Na on the surface of the glass substrate and the power generation efficiency were plotted. Further, the amount of Na diffusion was determined from a regression equation in which the ratio before and after heat treatment of Na and the power generation efficiency were plotted.
- the ratio of Ca + Sr + Ba between the glass substrate surface layer and the inside is 0.35 or less, and Na of the glass substrate surface layer
- the ratio before and after heat treatment is 1.5 or more, and the glass transition temperature Tg is high. Accordingly, both high power generation efficiency and high glass transition temperature can be achieved.
- the glass of the example has an average coefficient of thermal expansion of 70 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 7 to 100 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 7 / ° C., when assembling the solar cell of the present invention (specifically, a glass having a CIGS photoelectric conversion layer) When the substrate and the cover glass are heated and bonded, the glass substrate is not easily deformed and stable power generation efficiency is easily obtained.
- the glass of the comparative example (Example 3) has a large Na 2 O / (CaO + SrO + BaO) of 1.62, so it is SO 2 treated, but the ratio of Na before and after the heat treatment of Na on the glass substrate surface is 0.98. Since it is small, it is difficult to obtain power generation efficiency. Since the glass of the comparative examples (Examples 31 and 32) has a large Na 2 O / (CaO + SrO + BaO) of 1.62, it is SO 2 treated, but the ratio of Ca + Sr + Ba between the glass substrate surface layer and the inside is 0.36.
- the glass of Comparative Examples (Examples 3, 31, and 32) has a high Na 2 O content of 13.1%, Tg is lower than 580 ° C., and the substrate is deformed during CIGS film formation. There is a risk of hindering battery production. Further, since the glass of the comparative examples (Examples 33 and 34) has an Na 2 O amount of 0.5% and is small, it is subjected to SO 2 treatment, but the amount of Na diffusion is small and the power generation efficiency is low.
- the glass of Comparative Examples (Examples 4 to 5, 35 to 40, 42 to 46) not subjected to SO 2 treatment had compositions of each raw material within the scope of the present invention.
- the ratio of Ca + Sr + Ba between the glass substrate surface layer and the inside is as large as 0.90 to 1.00, and the ratio of Na before and after the heat treatment of the glass substrate surface layer is 0.78 to 1. Since it is as small as 00, it is difficult to obtain power generation efficiency.
- Na 2 O / (CaO + SrO + BaO) is as large as 1.62, and since no SO 2 treatment is performed, the ratio of Ca + Sr + Ba between the glass substrate surface layer and the inside is as large as 0.97, Since the ratio before and after the heat treatment of Na on the surface of the glass substrate is as small as 0.67, it is difficult to obtain power generation efficiency. Further, since the content of Na 2 O is as large as 13.1%, Tg becomes lower than 580 ° C., and the substrate may be deformed during the CIGS film formation, which may hinder battery manufacture.
- the ratio of Na before and after the heat treatment of the glass substrate surface layer is as small as 0.66, and the amount of Na 2 O is as small as 0.5%.
- the amount of diffusion is small and the power generation efficiency is low.
- the vapor-deposited Cu—In—Ga—Se solar cell glass substrate of the present invention is suitable as a vapor-deposited CIGS solar cell glass substrate and cover glass, but is used for other solar cell substrates and cover glasses. You can also In addition, by using the vapor deposited Cu—In—Ga—Se solar cell glass substrate of the present invention, a solar cell with high power generation efficiency can be provided.

本発明のCIGS太陽電池用ガラス基板は本質的に上記母組成からなるが、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲でその他の成分を、典型的には合計で5%以下含有してもよい。たとえば、耐候性、溶解性、失透性、紫外線遮蔽等の改善を目的に、B2O3、ZnO、Li2O、WO3、Nb2O5、V2O5、Bi2O3、MoO3、P2O5等を含有してもよい。
洗浄の方法は特には限定されないが、水による洗浄や洗浄剤による洗浄や酸化セリウムを含有したスラリーを散布しながらブラシ等でこする洗浄等が例示される。酸化セリウム含有のスラリーで洗浄した場合は、その後に塩酸や硫酸等の酸性洗浄剤等を用いて洗浄することが好ましい。

ガラス基板表面からの深さ10、20、30、40、5000nmにおけるCa、Sr、Baの量(原子%)をX線光電子分光装置(アルバック・ファイ社製、ESCA5500)により測定した。ガラス基板表面から10~40nmまでの研削は、C60イオンビームによりスパッタエッチングし、ガラス基板表面から5000nmまでの研削は、4000nmまで酸化セリウムの水スラリーで研削した後、C60イオンビームによりスパッタエッチングした。
ガラス基板表面からの深さ10、20、30、40におけるNaの量(原子%)をX線光電子分光装置(アルバック・ファイ社製、ESCA5500)により測定した。ガラス基板表面から10~40nmまでの研削は、C60イオンビームによりスパッタエッチングした。
ガラス基板上に、スパッタにてモリブデン膜を成膜した。成膜条件は基板温度を室温として、膜厚500~1000nmのモリブデン膜を成膜した。
その後、多元蒸着装置を用い、モリブデン膜付きガラス基板を200℃にて30分間加熱後、三段階法によってCIGS層を成膜した。成膜条件は基板温度400~600℃とし、膜厚1.8μm以上となるように成膜した。
三段階法によるCIGS層の成膜は、具体的に次の手順で行なった。一段階目に基板温度を約400℃まで加熱し、In、Ga、Seを同時に蒸着した。その後、第二段階目は基板温度を500~600℃に上昇させ、Cu、Seを膜全体の組成がCu過剰になるまで同時に蒸着した。さらに第三段階目としてIn、Ga、Seを再度同時蒸着し、最終的にCIGS層の組成がIn、Ga過剰(Cu/(In+Ga)比率<1)、膜厚1.8μm以上となるように成膜した。
そのCIGS層上にCBD(Chemical Bath Deposition)法にてCdS層を成膜した。CdS層は、0.015M硫酸カドミウム、1.5Mチオウレア、15Mアンモニア水溶液を使用し、50~100nmの厚みとなるように成膜した。
CdS層上にスパッタにてZnOターゲット及びAZOターゲット(Al2O3を1.5wt%含有するZnOターゲット)を使用して、ZnO及びAZO層を成膜した。ZnOを約100nm、AZOを約200nm成膜した。
その後、尖った金属板を用いて、CIGS層までを削り、モリブデン膜を残し、セル化及び下部電極作製を行い、一定の有効面積(アルミ電極を除いた面積が約0.5cm2)のセルが両側に各4個、合計8個のセルが並んだCIGS太陽電池サンプルを作製した。
外部の光が内部に侵入することを遮断できる一辺約30cmの容器を準備し、その容器内を、容器内部における光の反射を抑えるため内部を黒く塗装し、上記容器内にCIGS太陽電池を設置した。
あらかじめInGa溶剤(オーミック接触のため)を塗布したモリブデン膜にはプラス端子、8個のセル表面のアルミ上部取り出し電極にマイナス端子を、それぞれ電圧/電流発生器に接続した。容器内の温度は25℃となるように温度調節機にて制御した。容器内において外部光を遮断し、電池上部からキセノンランプを10秒間照射した。その後、60秒保持し、電池の温度を安定させた。その後、キセノンランプの未照射時と照射時にて、電圧を-1Vから+1Vまで0.015V間隔で変化させ、電流値を測定した。この照射時の電流と電圧特性から発電効率を算出した。
発電効率とNa拡散量の具体的な計算は、下記のようにして求めた。
発電効率は、ガラス基板表層のNaの熱処理前後比と発電効率をプロットした回帰式から求めた。また、Na拡散量は、Naの熱処理前後比と発電効率をプロットした回帰式から求めた。
x:Na前後比
y:発電効率[%]
z:Na拡散量[1017atoms/cm3]
として、
<発電効率>
・SO2処理を行った場合
y=1.4×ln(x)+12.5 式(2)
・SO2処理を行わなかった場合
y=4.3×x+9.5 式(3)
<Na拡散量>
z=1.9×y-21.7 式(4)
また、比較例(例33、34)のガラスはNa2O量が0.5%で少ないため、SO2処理をしているが、Na拡散量も少なく発電効率も低い。
比較例(例41)のガラスは、SO2処理をしていないため、ガラス基板表層のNaの熱処理前後比が0.66と小さく、またNa2O量が0.5%で少ないため、Na拡散量も少なく発電効率も低い。
また、本発明の蒸着成膜Cu-In-Ga-Se太陽電池用ガラス基板を用いることで、発電効率のよい太陽電池を提供できる。
