Abstract

The invention discloses a manufacturing method of a cadmium telluride film solar cell, which is characterized by comprising the following steps of: (1) by adopting a copper sheet or a stainless steel sheet as a back electrode of the cadmium telluride film solar cell, coating p (Positve) type cadmium telluride slurry on the metal sheet by a screen printing method to manufacture a p type cadmium telluride film; controlling the annealing temperature of the coated p type layer at 600 DEG C, wherein annealing time is 40 minutes; and then raising the temperature to 850 DEG C and preserving for 1 hour; (2) manufacturing an intermediate transition layer and an n (Negative) type cadmium telluride window layer on the p type cadmium telluride film to form a p-n junction; (3) evaporating or printing a comb-shaped front electrode on the cadmium telluride film of the window layer; and (4) wiring and welding the front and the back electrodes to finish the manufacture of the cadmium telluride film solar cell. The method is simple and convenient as well as easy for scale production, and can promote the scale production, largely reduce the cost and the price of the cadmium telluride film solar cell, and enhance the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of the cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the production technical field of thin-film solar cells, and in particular relates to a manufacturing method of cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells. Background technique [0002] Due to the protection requirements of the human living environment, the development of a low-carbon economy requires the use of clean energy with no pollution or minimal pollution, the development and utilization of solar energy has emerged as the times require. At present, solar power generation technology and applications are developing rapidly worldwide. At present, the output produced by a relatively large enterprise in China is equivalent to the total amount of the world ten years ago. The principle of solar power generation technology is: sunlight shines on the semiconductor p-n junction to form new hole-electron pairs. Under the action of the electric field of the p-n junction, the holes flow from the n region to the p region, and the electr...
