example 1

[0094] On one side of a boron-doped p-type silicon substrate (resistivity: 1Ω·cm), a 0.45 μm-thick emitter layer having phosphorous-doped n-type silicon was arranged. Boron at 1.5 x 10 16 / cm 3 amount doped into the p-type silicon substrate. The surface resistance of the emitter layer including n-type silicon was 50Ω per square.

[0095] Then, a conductive transparent electrode layer with a thickness of 80 nm was arranged on the emitter layer by sputtering.

[0096] An Al-containing paste was screen printed onto the other side of the p-type silicon substrate (ie, the side without the emitter layer). In addition, a p-type silicon substrate with a conductive transparent electrode layer was screen-printed with Ag-containing paste every 6 mm to form a pattern, and then sintered at 400 °C for 30 seconds to simultaneously (or parallel) form the first and second electrode, and then prepare a solar cell.

Abstract

A solar cell having a high photoelectric efficiency by minimizing (or reducing) electron transfer resistance and electrode shading loss. The solar cell includes a semiconductor substrate; an emitter layer on a first side of the semiconductor substrate; a conductive transparent electrode layer on the emitter layer; a first electrode on the conductive transparent electrode layer and electrically connected to the conductive transparent electrode layer; and a second electrode on a second side of the semiconductor substrate and electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate. The conductive transparent electrode layer has a specific resistance of about 500[mu] CR m or less. The emitter layer may be doped with a low concentration of impurities resulting in improve optical response at a short wavelength and minimization (or reduction) of recombination loss.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A solar cell generates electricity when electrons move to an n-type semiconductor while holes move to a p-type semiconductor due to an electric field generated by a p-n junction. Electrons and holes are generated inside the semiconductor due to energy provided by external light. [0003] Solar cells can be made as crystalline silicon solar cells, which include thin single crystals, polycrystalline and polycrystalline films. However, this type of solar cell has a problem in that defects on the surface and inside of silicon act as recombination centers for electron and hole pairs generated by external light, resulting in poor photoelectric efficiency. [0004] Defects in silicon can be passivated by forming a thermal oxide layer on its surface. Here too, the thermal oxide layer can function as an antireflection coating. Thus, various antireflection f...
