Description

The light trapping structure preparation method of semiconductor thin-film solar cell front and rear surfaces
Technical field
The present invention relates to thin-film solar cells, a kind of light trapping structure preparation method of semiconductor thin-film solar cell front and rear surfaces is particularly provided, the present invention combines traditional single light trapping structure the absorption increasing light, provides a kind of new approaches for improving solar battery efficiency.
Background technology
Solar cell power generation cost is compared very high with traditional firepower, hydroelectric power generation cost.Must improve the conversion efficiency of solar cell and reduce costs in order to improve the competitiveness of solar cell.As second generation solar cell, hull cell has reduced more than 90% than material that crystal silicon cell uses, and therefore cost significantly reduces.But because battery obsorbing layer is too thin, battery is abundant not to the absorption of light.Therefore, the light absorption of enhanced film battery is most important to improving conversion efficiency of solar cell.
The surperficial light trapping structure of tradition crystal silicon battery, except anti-reflection layer, is mainly to utilize acid and alkali corrosion to go out inverted pyramid structure, and its size is in 2-10 micrometer range.But general hull cell thickness is at 1-2 micrometer range, therefore inverted pyramid structure be not suitable for hull cell.Common hull cell reaches by being deposited on the effect that falls into light on the substrate of random surface texture.Because the sunken light of substrate surface texture is limited in one's ability, the more efficiently light trapping structure of hull cell is further developed: battery surface optical grating construction; Utilize photonic crystal to strengthen the light absorption of battery; Utilize the surface plasma near field humidification of metal nanoparticle to increase light absorption etc.Grating makes light produce high order diffraction to change the direction of propagation of light, makes light horizontal transmission in absorbed layer, thus the propagation path that has increased light increased that light is absorbed may.Photonic crystal is the nanostructure that refractive index cycle changes, and can reenter battery obsorbing layer with less angle through the light of photonic crystal diffraction, and low angle can prevent that light from fleeing from silicon, increases light and be absorbed and convert to the chance of photoelectric current.Utilize the principle of metal nanoparticle excitating surface plasma excimer enhanced film battery light absorption to be that incident light is subject to surface plasma effect, most of incident light enters in the medium that refractive index is larger (battery) being scattered.And stronger to scattering of light ability in the time that metal nanoparticle diameter is larger, in absorbed layer, light path extends greatly.
But, specific light trapping structure is more obvious for the light absorption enhancing effect of specific band above, due to the absorption spectra of semiconductor solar cell wider (such as the optical absorption spectra of crystal silicon solar energy battery is between 300nm1100nm), single light trapping structure is all incident lights of scattering effectively.The present invention proposes single light trapping structure to combine, and all has light trapping structure at front and back, forms the mixing light trapping structure that more broadband light is had to scattering process, has great importance for the light absorption that improves semiconductor thin-film solar cell.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to, a kind of light trapping structure preparation method of semiconductor thin-film solar cell front and rear surfaces is provided, it is the mixing light trapping structure that is different from traditional light trapping structure, utilize front surface grating and back side double-level-metal nanostructure to form Multiple Scattering effect to incident light, strengthen the action effect to incident light and transmitted light.Front surface grating mainly makes incident light wide-angle enter battery obsorbing layer, increases its propagation path, reduces reflection of light rate, and back side double-level-metal nano particle returns the transmission light-scattering layer of long wave direction to battery obsorbing layer, increases the absorption of this part light.

Step 7: etch two-dimensional grating structure on the upper surface of thin-film solar cells material;
Step 8: electrode before the one deck of growing in two-dimensional grating structure, completes preparation.
The present invention compared with prior art, has following good effect:
1, because single light trapping structure just has and falls into preferably light effect at the light of specific band.The present invention falls into the parameter optimization of light and the sunken light of surface of metal particles plasma by adjusting optical grating construction, cycle, duty ratio etc., expanded the sphere of action of light trapping structure to light;
2,, due to single light trapping structure, two-dimensional grating structure and metal nanoparticle material are single, only the incident light of certain limit are worked.The present invention, by adjusting the kind of metal nanoparticle and optical grating construction, has expanded and has mixed the sphere of action of light trapping structure to incident light;
3, change parameter (cycle, duty ratio etc.) and the kind sphere of action of extended hybrid light trapping structure to incident light greatly of mixing light trapping structure simultaneously.
