Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the manufacturing process for the textured transparent conductive layer between the back electrode layer and the light absorbing layer is complicated, and the light efficiency will be lowered by the transparent conductive layer, which has lower conductivity than the metal of the back electrode layer. Conductivity
Also, since the contact interface between layers increases, the probability of defect generation increases

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a solar cell is provided. The manufacturing method includes: depositing a transparent conductive layer on a substrate; patterning the transparent conductive layer; forming a semiconductor layer including deposited on the patterned transparent conductive layer; patterning the semiconductor layer; coating a metal powder on the patterned semiconductor layer; forming a rear electrode layer on the semiconductor layer coated with the metal powder; and patterning the rear electrode layer and the semiconductor layer. This method is useful for producing a solar cell with improved light absorption efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] A solar cell that converts sunlight energy into electricity generates electricity by using two types of semiconductors called P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors. Solar cells can be mainly classified into crystalline silicon solar cells used in most commercial products, thin film solar cells that can use inexpensive substrates, and hybrid solar cells that combine crystalline silicon solar cells and thin film solar cells. [0003] In the present invention, a thin film solar cell is formed by coating a film on a thin glass or plastic substrate. Generally, the spread distance of carriers is shorter in thin-film solar cells than in crystalline silicon solar cells, and when the thin film is made of only a P-N junction structure, the collection efficiency of electron-hole pairs generated by sunlight very low. Therefore, a thin film utilizing...
