Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, people have developed some preparation methods of CdS thin film, such as: chemical water bath deposition method, the thin film grown by this process is not strong enough, it is easy to fall off under the influence of external environment
Another method such as: near-space sublimation method, but the film grown by this method is not uniform enough, which affects the light transmittance
Moreover, when the substrate temperature is lower or higher than a certain value, the CdS film cannot be deposited, which is greatly affected by the sinking.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of the preparation of film solar batteries and discloses a method for preparing a CdS film used for a window layer of a solar battery. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, cleaning the surface of float glass by an ultrasonoscope and a chemical cleaning agent, and removing an oxide layer on the surface of the float glass by a hydrofluoric acid etching method; 2, putting the well cleaned float glass in deposition equipment to deposit a transparent electrode layer; 3, ultrasonically cleaning a substrate on which the transparent electrode layer is deposited by a chemical agent; and 4, putting the well cleaned substrate in growth equipment to grow the CdS film, and completing the preparation of the CdS window layer of the solar battery. The method has the advantages of improving performance of the device, using the CdS film to prepare solar batteries and other optical devices which are big in area and low in cost, reducing an impurity concentration of the CdS film and enhancing the quality of the CdS film.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thin-film solar cell preparation, in particular to a method for preparing a CdS thin film used for a solar cell window layer, especially for CdS / CdTe and CdS / CIGS structured solar cells. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the increasingly severe international energy shortage and environmental pollution have brought great opportunities for various new energy technologies. With its inexhaustible and zero-pollution characteristics, solar cells stand out among all kinds of new energy technologies, and have developed rapidly. At present, thin-film solar cells have become the mainstream of the development trend. Among thin-film solar cells, the theoretical conversion rate of CdTe thin-film cells is as high as 28%, and the production cost is low, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry. [0003] At present, the actual conversion efficiency of industrially produced solar cells is gr...
