Definitions
- the present invention relates to a photoelectric conversion element and a method for manufacturing a photoelectric conversion element.
- solar cells which are one type of photoelectric conversion element, have been used as power supply means for satellites and other devices operated in outer space. It is known that irradiation of cosmic rays, including proton beams, causes lattice defects in semiconductors of solar cells for space use, resulting in lower output. Therefore, various sealing structures for blocking proton beams have been proposed for space solar cells.
- Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a sealing structure for space solar cells using a special cover glass and a resin adhesive. Further, for example, Patent Literature 1 discloses that an optical thin film is formed on the surface of a solar cell to improve the infrared emissivity in order to improve heat dissipation to outer space by infrared radiation.
- the sealing structure of a solar cell for space using a special cover glass is very expensive, and the bonding of the cover glass is complicated, resulting in high cost. Moreover, since the solar cell becomes heavy, there is room for improvement in terms of suppressing the load weight at the time of launch.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a photoelectric conversion element that is lightweight and excellent in terms of cost while being able to suppress deterioration in the performance of the element due to proton beams.
- a photoelectric conversion element of one embodiment of the present invention includes a photoelectric conversion portion and a proton beam-shielding layer formed over the photoelectric conversion portion and shielding the photoelectric conversion portion from proton beams.
- the product of electron density and film thickness of the proton beam shielding layer is 5 ⁇ 10 20 (cm ⁇ 2 ) or more.
- a photoelectric conversion element that can suppress deterioration in the performance of the element due to proton beams and that is lightweight and excellent in terms of cost.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the influence of proton beams on a solar cell
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the proton beam energy and the amount of fluence corresponding to the operation period of a satellite or the like.

- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing simulation results of Example 7;
- the photoelectric conversion device of this embodiment is attached to a satellite or the like operated in outer space, and used in an environment exposed to cosmic rays including proton rays.
- a solar cell for space use will be described as an example of the photoelectric conversion element.
- space solar cells it is known that if the proton beam stops near the photoelectric conversion layer of the solar cell, especially in the vicinity of the pn junction, the cell output will be greatly reduced.
- a solar cell that is resistant to the deterioration of the proton beam should be adopted, or the total proton dose that stops in the vicinity of the pn junction of the solar cell will be the maintenance factor of the solar cell.
- the shielding area for the proton beam should be increased in the thickness direction of the device to a level that does not affect the .
- the proton beam shielding area can be increased by, for example, increasing the thickness of the cover glass.
- FIG. 3(a) is a schematic diagram showing the effect of proton beams on a solar cell without a cover glass shielding region.
- FIG. 3(b) is a schematic diagram showing the effect of proton beams on a solar cell having a cover glass shielding region.
- low-energy proton beams e.g., proton beams of about 0.2 MeV
- An energetic proton beam passes through the cover glass and stops near, for example, the pn junction of the solar cell.
- the integrated dose of proton beam is called fluence (cm ⁇ 2 ).

Abstract
Description
また、例えば、特許文献1には、赤外放射による宇宙空間への排熱性を高めるために、太陽電池の表面に光学薄膜を形成して赤外放射率を向上させることが開示されている。
実施形態では、その説明を分かり易くするため、本発明の主要部以外の構造または要素については、簡略化または省略して説明する。また、図面において、同じ要素には同じ符号を付す。なお、図面において、各要素の形状、寸法などは、模式的に示したもので、実際の形状や寸法などを示すものではない。
最初に、宇宙用の太陽電池における陽子線劣化と放熱について概説する。
宇宙用の太陽電池において、太陽電池セルの光電変換層、特にpn接合部分の近傍に陽子線が止まると、電池出力の大幅な低下を引き起こすことが知られている。陽子線による太陽電池の劣化を抑制するためには、陽子線の劣化に強い太陽電池セルを採用するか、あるいは太陽電池セルのpn接合部分の近傍内で止まる総陽子線量が太陽電池の維持率に影響を与えないレベルまで陽子線の遮蔽領域を素子の厚さ方向に大きくすればよい。陽子線の遮蔽領域は、例えばカバーガラスを厚くすることで大きくできる。
太陽電池セルの光電変換層、例えばpn接合部分で止まるエネルギーが、太陽電池の種類に依存したあるフルエンスを受けることでpn接合部分に欠陥が生成され、少数キャリアの寿命が低下することで太陽電池の電気特性が低下する。
ある物質に陽子線を照射したとき、陽子はエネルギーを失いながら物質を通過する。このときに陽子が失うエネルギーの量を阻止能という。阻止能S(E)は、例えば、Stopping Range of Irons in Solid (http://www.srim.org/)というシミュレーションソフトにより算出することができる。また、阻止能S(E)に対して陽子がエネルギーを失い停止するまでの距離を飛程Xという。飛程Xは、式(1)に示すように、阻止能S(E)の逆数を陽子が停止するまでのエネルギーEで積分した値に等しい。
一般に、太陽電池などの半導体は、高熱が加わる状態では性能低下や寿命低下が生じるため冷却の必要が生じる。宇宙では地上と異なり大気がなく、宇宙での太陽電池は真空断熱状態にある。したがって、宇宙での太陽電池は、大気による熱交換ができないことから主に赤外の放射によって冷却が行われる。
次に、図面を参照して、本実施形態における宇宙用の太陽電池の構成について説明する。図1は、本実施形態の太陽電池の構成例を示す厚さ方向断面図である。図1の例では、CIS系太陽電池での構成例を説明する。
導電性基板11は、例えば、チタン(Ti)、ステンレス鋼(SUS)、銅、アルミニウムあるいはこれらの合金等で形成される。導電性基板11は、リジッドな金属基板であってもフレキシブルな金属基板であってもよい。導電性基板11は、複数の金属基材を積層した積層構造であってもよく、例えば、ステンレス箔、チタン箔、モリブデン箔が基板の表面に形成されていてもよい。
導電性基板11として、フレキシブルな金属基板を適用した場合、太陽電池10を曲げることが可能となり、曲げによる基板の割れも抑制できる。さらに、上記の場合には、ガラス基板や樹脂基板と比べて、太陽電池10の軽量化および薄型化を図ることが容易となる。
光電変換部12は、下(基板側)から順に、第1の電極層21、光電変換層22、バッファ層23、第2の電極層24が順次積層された積層構造を有する。
第1の電極層21は、例えばモリブデン(Mo)などの金属電極層であり、導電性基板11の上に形成される。第1の電極層21は、光電変換層22の受光面側ではなく裏面側(導電性基板11側)に臨むため、裏面電極とも称される。特に限定するものではないが、第1の電極層21の厚さは、例えば、50nm~1000nmである。
光電変換層22は、第1の電極層21上に形成される。光電変換層22は、受光面側(図1の上側)および裏面側(図1の下側)ではバンドギャップがそれぞれ大きく、光電変換層22の厚さ方向内側ではバンドギャップが小さいダブルグレーデッド構造を有してもよい。特に限定するものではないが、光電変換層22の厚さは、例えば、1.0μm~3.0μmである。
バッファ層23は、光電変換層22の上に形成される。特に限定するものではないが、バッファ層23の厚さは、例えば、10nm~100nmである。
バッファ層23は、例えば、n型またはi(intrinsic)型高抵抗導電層である。ここで「高抵抗」とは、後述する第2の電極層24の抵抗値よりも高い抵抗値を有するという意味である。
第2の電極層24は、バッファ層23の上に形成される。第2の電極層24は、例えば、n型導電層である。特に限定するものではないが、第2の電極層24の厚さは、例えば、0.5μm~2.5μmである。
第2の電極層24は、例えば、禁制帯幅が広く、抵抗値が十分に低い材料を備えることが好ましい。また、第2の電極層24は、太陽光などの光の通り道となるため、光電変換層22が吸収可能な波長の光を透過する性質を持つことが好ましい。この意味から、第2の電極層24は、透明電極層または窓層とも称される。
陽子線遮蔽層13は、光電変換部12の第2の電極層24の上に形成された光学薄膜であり、受光面側から入射する陽子線への遮蔽領域として機能する。
熱放射層14は、陽子線遮蔽層13の上に形成された光学薄膜であり、太陽電池10の放射による冷却を促進する機能を担う。特に限定するものではないが、赤外の放射による太陽電池10の効率的な冷却を図るために、熱放射層14の放射率は0.80以上であることが好ましい。
次に、上記実施形態の太陽電池の製造方法について説明する。
これにより、本実施形態の太陽電池10、10aは、陽子線遮蔽層13で0.6MeV以下の陽子線を遮蔽することができ、衛星等の運用期間に相当するフルエンスを1×1010(cm-2)よりも低くできる。したがって、本実施形態によれば、宇宙用の太陽電池の運用期間中にわたって、陽子線による素子の性能低下を抑制できる。
また、本実施形態の太陽電池10、10aでは、半導体の薄膜形成プロセスを適用して光電変換部12の上に陽子線遮蔽層13を積層する。本実施形態では、陽子線の遮蔽能力に優れた陽子線遮蔽層13をカバーガラスよりも軽量に形成でき、しかも、カバーガラスの貼り合わせのような煩雑な組立工程を省くことができる。したがって、本実施形態の太陽電池10、10aは、カバーガラスを有する太陽電池に比べて軽量でコスト面に優れる。
以下、本実施形態の太陽電池に関する実施例について説明する。
実施例1では、透明電極層上に形成された薄膜が異なる4つの太陽電池を比較し、薄膜の電子密度と膜厚の積および放射率の違いをシミュレーションで算出した。実施例1の太陽電池の導電性基板から透明電極層までの構成はいずれもCIS太陽電池である。実施例1の太陽電池の構成を以下に示す。
・実施例1A:透明電極層上に、4.59μmのZrO2薄膜を形成した太陽電池
・実施例1B:透明電極層上に、下から順に、4.59μmのZrO2薄膜と1.3μmのSiO2薄膜を積層形成した太陽電池
・実施例1C:透明電極層上に、下から順に、4.59μmのZrO2薄膜、0.65μmのAl2O3薄膜、0.65μmのSiO2薄膜を積層形成した太陽電池
陽子線を遮蔽するエネルギーは、飛程より計算される。そこで、実施例2では、複数の材料により構成される薄膜の場合における各膜厚をシミュレーションで算出した。
実施例3では、Al2O3薄膜、Y2O3薄膜、In2O3薄膜をそれぞれ同じ膜厚で積層して構成された積層膜が0.6MeV、1MeVのエネルギーを遮蔽するときの膜厚を算出した。実施例3での算出結果を表3に示す。なお、Al2O3薄膜、Y2O3薄膜、In2O3薄膜の各膜厚は、積層膜の膜厚の1/3である。
実施例4では、CIS系太陽電池上に積層された陽子線遮蔽層の上に、熱放射層としてSiO2またはAl2O3の薄膜を形成した場合と、比較例としてIn2O3薄膜を形成した場合の放射率をそれぞれシミュレーションで算出した。実施例4での陽子線遮蔽層の材料としては、Al2O3、HfO2、In2O3、ZrO2、Y2O3を選択した。そして、陽子線遮蔽層の膜厚は、材料ごとに0.6MeVの陽子線を遮蔽できる最小の膜厚、また、陽子線遮蔽層上の薄膜の膜厚は1.0μmに設定した。実施例4での算出結果を表4に示す。
実施例5では、結晶Si系の半導体基板を用いた太陽電池上に積層された陽子線遮蔽層の上に、熱放射層としてSiO2またはAl2O3の薄膜を形成した場合と、比較例としてIn2O3薄膜を形成した場合の放射率をそれぞれシミュレーションで算出した。実施例5での陽子線遮蔽層の材料としては、ZrO2を選択した。そして、陽子線遮蔽層の膜厚は、0.6MeVの陽子線を遮蔽できる最小の膜厚、また、陽子線遮蔽層上の薄膜の膜厚は1.0μmに設定した。実施例5での算出結果を表5に示す。
実施例6では、陽子線遮蔽層の上に熱放射層としてSiO2またはAl2O3の薄膜を形成する場合において、放射率を80%以上にするための膜厚をシミュレーションで算出した。なお、実施例6の太陽電池の導電性基板から透明電極層までの構成はいずれもCIS太陽電池である。
実施例7では、陽子線遮蔽層の上にSiO2薄膜およびAl2O3薄膜を積層形成する場合において、放射率を80%以上にするための各膜厚をシミュレーションで算出した。なお、実施例7の太陽電池の導電性基板から透明電極層までの構成はいずれもCIS太陽電池である。
上記実施形態では、宇宙用の光電変換素子の一例として、陽子線遮蔽層を備える太陽電池の構成例について説明した。しかし、本発明の光電変換素子の構成は、太陽電池に限定されず、宇宙空間で使用され、光電変換層を備える他の半導体素子(例えば、撮像素子など)にも広く適用することができる。
