The functions of the layers are simply expressed as follows:
a) The substrate 1 mainly provides support for the battery device. Conventional substrates typically use float Glass, i.e., glass substrates (Glass) typically have a thickness of 2-5mm, corresponding devices typically are used in the building photovoltaic integration field, and specific flexible devices typically use stainless steel sheets as the substrate material, 0.1-0.5mm thick.
b) The silicon nitride barrier layer 2 is mainly used for blocking impurity ions (metal ions such as sodium, calcium, iron and the like) in the glass substrate from entering the battery device to influence the performance of the battery, and the stainless steel substrate uses chromium metal as the barrier layer, and the thickness of the silicon nitride barrier layer is 100-200nm.
c) The molybdenum back electrode layer 3 exists as a back electrode of the device and is positioned on one side of the P-type semiconductor material to provide a path for the directional movement of electrons, and the thickness of the molybdenum back electrode layer is about 300nm.
d) The copper indium gallium selenide absorption layer 4 is a light absorption material of the whole solar cell device, and after reaching the layer, light is absorbed by the layer and excited in the layer to generate photo-generated electron-hole pairs. The copper indium gallium selenide material is a P-type semiconductor material, and the thickness of the copper indium gallium selenide absorption layer is generally 1.5-2.5 mu m.

g) After a load is connected between the front electrode and the back electrode, under the action of the photo-generated potential difference, a current forms a passage between the two electrodes to generate photo-generated current for supplying power to an external load.
In the conventional copper indium gallium diselenide solar cell device shown in fig. 1, the molybdenum back electrode layer 3 is designed to be a complete molybdenum metal film layer, the device can only absorb the light entering the absorption layer from the front electrode (window layer) and generate a photovoltaic effect, and the light at the back of the device can be blocked by the molybdenum back electrode layer and cannot enter the absorption layer at all, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is affected.
