The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells and relates to a three-dimensional
silicon-based micro-nano
photonic crystal solar cell. The three-dimensional
silicon-based micro-nano
photonic crystal solar cell is characterized in that a front
electrode is arranged on the lower surface of a front
contact layer, a three-dimensional
silicon-based micro-nano
photonic crystal solar cell structure is arranged between the front
electrode and a back
electrode, an upper layer of the three-dimensional silicon-based micro-nano photonic
crystal solar
cell structure is an n-type silicon
semiconductor layer while a lower layer thereof is a p-type silicon
semiconductor layer, the front electrode is embedded into the bottom of a line defect
waveguide of the n-type silicon
semiconductor layer, the p-type silicon semiconductor layer can form a plane with the back electrode, a back
contact layer is arranged at the bottom of the back electrode, and the back electrode is arranged in a
slow light region or a forbidden band region of the p-type silicon semiconductor layer. The three-dimensional silicon-based micro-nano photonic
crystal solar
cell has the advantages of small thickness, material saving, short current carrier
diffusion distance, high stability,
high transmission efficiency, there-dimensional structure regularity, flexibility and mature
processing and
compositing techniques, and therefore can be developed as a new-generation low-cost efficient solar
cell device with the highest potential.
