Abstract

The invention discloses a cadmium telluride thin-film solar cell with gradient structure and a manufacture method thereof. The cadmium telluride thin-film solar cell comprises a pn junction formed by a CdTe absorbing layer and a CdS window layer. The CdTe absorbing layer of the pn junction of the cadmium telluride thin-film solar cell is a Cd<x>Te<Y> multilayer gradient structure with an energy gap gradient, wherein x is more than or equal to 0 but is less than or equal to 1 and y is more than or equal to 0 but is less than or equal to 1. The gradient structure has a relatively wide energy spectrum range, may separate and capture ionized electrons, and generateS heavy current under the excitation of the sun so as to improve the efficiency of the thin-film solar cell. The gradient structure prevents abnormal growth of crystal grains and generation of holes and cracks and produces a compact high-quality film with uniform crystal grain sizes and matched energy gaps. Further, the gradient structure is beneficial to the full absorption of sunlight so as to further improve the efficiency of the cadmium telluride thin-film solar cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar cell, a thin film solar cell with a gradient structure and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a cadmium telluride thin film solar cell structure with a gradient structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Since the French scientist AE. Becquerel discovered the photoelectric conversion phenomenon in 1839, the first solar cell based on semiconductor selenium was born in 1883. Russell obtained the first solar cell patent (US.2,402,662) in 1946, and its photoelectric conversion efficiency was only 1%. It was not until 1954 that Bell Laboratories' research discovered that doped silicon-based materials have high photoelectric conversion efficiency. This research laid the foundation for the modern solar cell industry. In 1958, the Haffman Power Company of the United States installed the first solar panel on a satellite in the United States, and its photoelectric conversion effici...
