Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, there is a high density of defect states at the interface between the metal back electrode and the light-absorbing layer of the p-type semiconductor film, which is caused by the unsaturated dangling bonds of the interface atoms and the lattice mismatch of the interface material. recombination pathway
As the minority carriers in p-type semiconductors, electrons are easily captured by defect levels when they appear near this interface, and then transition to the valence band and recombine with holes through the defect level, which reduces the carrier collection efficiency, thereby reducing the solar energy. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery device affects the performance of the thin film solar cell device
According to reports, in copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells, the interfacial recombination rate (SRV) of CIGS thin film light absorbing layer and metal Mo back electrode is as high as 10 3 ~10 6 cm / s, which seriously reduces the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cell devices
[0004] Moreover, as the thickness of the light-absorbing layer decreases, the metal Mo back electrode interface is closer to the light-absorbing region in the light-absorbing layer, and more photogenerated carrier pairs are generated near the interface, thereby recombining through defect levels. , therefore, the conventional form of the metal back electrode restricts the thickness of the light-absorbing layer of thin-film solar cell devices to develop in a thinner direction

Abstract

The invention relates to a back electrode of a solar battery device, a preparation method of the back electrode and the solar battery device. The back electrode of the solar battery device comprises a metal conducting layer and an aluminum oxide passivation layer stacked on the metal conducting layer.
