Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of solar cells, and in particular, the present invention relates to a full spectral diamond quantum well film solar cell and a method of manufacturing the same. Background technique [0002] In recent years, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond (class diamond) films have been greatly developed. The uniqueness of the diamond membrane is similar to the nature of single crystal block diamond, including: high hardness, low friction coefficient, chemical inert, transparency, high resistivity and smoothness; this makes it suitable for many applications. Because the banned bandwidth of the diamond itself is continuously adjustable within 0 to 5.4 eV, there is a unique application in the solar cell. At present, the conversion efficiency of the Class diamond solar cell is low, and it is necessary to further improve solar spectroscopy efficiency of solar cells, and avoid the current loss caused by multiple tunnels.
