Problems solved by technology

Although the suede surface made by etching the surface of single crystal silicon can achieve the purpose of increasing light absorption by increasing light scattering in the crystalline silicon layer, more than 30% of the light energy is still due to the difference in refractive index between air and crystalline silicon. while lost by reflection
And other methods such as the preparation method of a polycrystalline silicon solar cell suede disclosed by CN1983645A, the reflectivity under wavelength 400-1000nm is also more than 20%, and the reflectivity of amorphous silicon thin film is higher, causes the amorphous silicon solar cell Light absorption efficiency is low

preparation example Construction

[0020] In order to solve the problem of high reflectivity of the amorphous silicon thin film in the prior art, the present invention provides a new preparation method for the light-trapping structure of the amorphous silicon thin film used in solar cells. Crystalline silicon thin films can form obvious peak structures on the surface of amorphous silicon thin films, which can greatly reduce the reflectivity of amorphous silicon thin films. Broad-spectrum anti-reflection in the entire solar radiation spectral range is achieved, and the suede light-trapping structure prepared by this method has the advantages of easy large-area preparation, mature production technology, and low cost. Specifically, the method for preparing an amorphous silicon thin film light-trapping structure for solar cells includes the following steps:

[0021] A. Cleaning the substrate;

[0022] B. Depositing an amorphous silicon film on the surface of the substrate;

[0023] C. Nanosecond laser scanning is...

Embodiment

[0029] The substrate selected in this embodiment is a glass substrate. The first step is to clean the glass substrate; first, soak the glass substrate in a solution prepared by concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate to remove heavy metal particles and other impurities; then clean the glass substrate with deionized water; then ultrasonically clean the glass substrate in acetone and absolute ethanol for 15 minutes; finally rinse the substrate repeatedly with deionized water and place it in alcohol for later use, The glass substrate was blown dry with nitrogen.

[0030] In the second step, the PECVD chemical vapor deposition technology is used to deposit an amorphous silicon film on the surface of the substrate; specifically, the glass substrate is first placed in the PECVD reaction chamber and vacuumed to 1*10 -4 Pa, SiH 4 The gas flows into the PECVD reaction chamber at a flow rate of 5 sccm, and the Ar gas flows into the PECVD reaction chamber at a flow rate of 5...

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparing method of an amorphous silicon membrane light trapping structure for a solar cell, the reflectivity of a membrane can be reduced. The preparing method comprises the first step of cleaning a substrate, the second step of depositing an amorphous silicon membrane on the surface of the substrate, the third step of carrying out nanosecond laser scanning on the amorphous silicon membrane deposited on the surface of the substrate, and the light trapping structure is formed on the surface of the amorphous silicon. Due to the fact that the amorphous silicon membrane is scanned through a nanosecond laser, an obvious peak structure can be formed on the surface of the amorphous silicon membrane, the reflectivity of the amorphous silicon membrane can be greatly reduced, the smallest reflectivity in the wavelength raging from 300 nm to 1100 nm can reach to 0.8 percent, the reflectivity reducing effect is obvious, broadband spectrum reflectivity reducing in the whole solar radiation spectral region is basically achieved, the suede light trapping structure prepared with the method has the advantages that large-area preparing is easy to carry out, the production technology is mature, and cost is low, and the preparing method is suitable for being applied and popularized in the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for preparing an amorphous silicon thin film light-trapping structure used for solar cells. Background technique [0002] A solar cell is a semiconductor device that directly converts the sun's light energy into electricity. Because it does not need water, oil, fuel, etc., it can generate electricity as long as there is light, so it can be called the cleanest and most environmentally friendly renewable energy in the world today. Based on the infinite and stable solar energy, it also has high security. Therefore, solar cells will undoubtedly become one of the main options for new energy utilization. [0003] Light trapping is one of the key technologies to improve light absorption and thus efficiency of thin-film solar cells. Light trapping measures mainly adopt evaporation anti-reflection film or prepare suede on the surface. From the perspective o...
