The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a two-dimensional
silicon-based micro-nano
photonic crystal solar cell. The two-dimensional
silicon-based micro-nano
photonic crystal solar cell is characterized in that front electrodes which are periodically arrayed are arranged on the lower side surface of a front
contact layer; a two-dimensional
silicon-based micro-nano
photonic crystal solar cell structure is arranged between the front electrodes and back electrodes, upper
layers of the two-dimensional silicon-based micro-nano photonic
crystal solar
cell structure are type-n silicon
semiconductor layers, a lower layer of the two-dimensional silicon-based micro-nano photonic
crystal solar
cell structure is a type-p silicon
semiconductor layer, and PN junctions are formed by the type-n silicon
semiconductor layers and the type-p silicon semiconductor layer; a back
contact layer is arranged at the bottoms of the back electrodes, and the back
contact layer and the front contact layer are made of identical materials; the back electrodes which are of aluminum
thin layer structures are arranged in slow-light regions or band-gap regions of the type-p silicon semiconductor layer. The two-dimensional silicon-based micro-nano photonic
crystal solar
cell has the advantages that the two-dimensional silicon-based micro-nano photonic crystal solar cell is simple in structure, small in size, low in threshold, short in carrier
diffusion distance and high in stability, light
coupling efficiency and
light transmission efficiency, is far thinner than the traditional
silicon solar cell and becomes a new-generation low-cost and efficient solar cell device with the maximum potential, and mature
processing and composite technologies are implemented.
