Problems solved by technology

However, this technology has not been applied to the field of solar cells
Moreover, the masking effect of silicon nanocrystals is poor, and they themselves will be etched so that the masking effect cannot be achieved, resulting in undesirable corrosion of crystalline silicon nanopillars, which affects the final battery characteristics

Embodiment 1

[0043] Such as figure 2As shown, the structure of the silicon-based nanocolumn array heterojunction thin film solar cell of the present invention includes a silicon nanocolumn array 201, an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 204, an N-type amorphous silicon layer 205, a transparent conductive thin film layer 206, and an upper contact electrode 207 and lower contact electrode 208 .

[0044] The lowermost layer is a vertical silicon nanopillar array 201 . The silicon nanopillar array 201 is one-dimensional nanopillars formed by etching P-type single crystal silicon. The layer is prepared by dry etching technology with Ni nanocrystals as a mask. Since the diameter of the Ni nanocrystal itself is on the order of nanometers, an array of silicon nanopillars with a diameter on the order of nanometers can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of solar cell manufacturing, in particular to a silicon-based nanocolumn array heterojunction thin-film solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Since the birth of the first monocrystalline silicon homogeneous PN junction solar cell in 1954, silicon-based solar cells have gone through two stages: the first generation of solar cells represented by crystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon, and the first generation of solar cells represented by amorphous silicon thin films. Represents the second generation of solar cells. However, traditional silicon-based solar cells based on homogeneous PN junction technology have highlighted problems such as high cost, low efficiency, and serious environmental pollution. [0003] Existing crystalline silicon solar cells generally use wire cutting technology to obtain silicon wafers with a substrate thickness of 25um to 300um. Including the lo...
