Problems solved by technology

How to further improve the conversion efficiency of III-V solar cells has become a current research hotspot. The introduction of the window layer forms a good passivation interface on the surface of the emission region, which improves the short-circuit current density and the open-circuit voltage. The most important thing is that the window layer generally needs to choose a material with a band gap larger than the emission region, which will form a potential barrier between the window layer and the emission region, hindering electron transport.
[0003] In traditional solar cells, in order to reduce the recombination rate of the front surface of the battery, it is necessary to passivate the emission area of ​​the cell, and the band gap of the window layer material must be higher than that of the cell base area and the emission area material, otherwise part of the light will be absorbed , reduce the performance of the battery, and the resulting problem is that the contact between the wide bandgap window layer and the narrow bandgap emission region will form a heterojunction barrier at the interface, which hinders the transport of minority carriers in the battery, such as figure 1 shown
