Abstract

The invention discloses a cadmium telluride thin film solar cell module and a preparation method thereof. The cadmium telluride thin film solar cell module comprises a substrate glass layer, a TCO thin film layer, a CdS thin film layer, a CdTe thin film layer, a diffusion barrier layer, a Mo electrode layer, and a backplane glass layer which are arranged in order from bottom to top. The diffusionbarrier layer is a TiN layer. A TiN thin film is used as a back electrode buffer layer instead of Cu. Since the work function of the TiN is 4.7eV and the work function can be deepened by adjusting theratio of Ti to N, the Schottky barrier of the metal back electrode and the cadmium telluride thin film can be reduced, and the contact between the metal back electrode and the cadmium telluride thinfilm can be optimized. In addition, the TiN layer has good stability and has a stopping effect on Na diffusion in the glass, so that the diffusion of the alkali metal Na in the cadmium telluride thinfilm cell is controllable, and is different from the diffusion of doped copper which may diffuse to an interface between the cadmium telluride and the cadmium sulfide in a late stage, destroys a p-n junction characteristics, and greatly reduces efficiency, thereby prolonging a service life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of thin-film solar cells, in particular to a cadmium telluride thin-film solar cell component and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Polycrystalline cadmium telluride has attracted extensive attention from industry and science because of its band gap of 1.48eV and high absorption rate. At present, the backplane of commercial cadmium telluride thin film solar cells uses glass, and the alkali metal in the glass will pass through The metal electrode diffuses into the absorber layer and varies with batch-to-batch glass quality fluctuations or changes in cadmium telluride deposition parameters, which are not controlled by actual production. Metal copper is used to improve the tunnel contact barrier between the CdTe absorber layer and the back electrode. Although copper plays an important role in high-performance CdTe solar cells, it is rapidly Diffusion, which degrades the efficiency of CdTe solar...
