Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a silicon-doped indium arsenide / gallium arsenide quantum-dot solar cell, comprising the steps of: 1, selecting an n+ type GaAs single chip to serve as a substrate; 2, sequentially growing an n type GaAs layer and an intrinsic GaAs buffer layer on the n+ type GaAs single chip; 3, growing a multi-cycle quantum dot structure to server as an i absorption layer of the cell on the intrinsic GaAs buffer layer; 4, sequentially growing an intrinsic GaAs layer, a p type GaAs layer, a p+ type GaAs layer, a p type A10.4Ga0.6As layer and a p type GaAs layer on the multi-cycle quantum dot structure; 5, growing a ZnS / MgF2 layer on the p type GaAs layer; 6, growing and manufacturing an upper metal electrode on the ZnS / MgF2 layer; 7, manufacturing a lower metal electrode on the lower surface of the n+ type GaAs single chip; and 8, packaging a solar assembly to complete the manufacturing the solar cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic device manufacture, and in particular relates to the manufacture of a silicon-doped indium arsenide / gallium arsenide quantum dot solar cell. Background technique [0002] Solar cells are an effective form of clean and renewable energy solar energy, which has aroused great interest from governments, enterprises and research institutions in recent years. In today's increasingly serious greenhouse effect, solar cells with zero carbon emissions are particularly important for protecting the earth's environment and maintaining the sustainable development of the national economy. However, the high cost of the current solar cell seriously hinders its large-scale promotion and use. Improving the conversion efficiency of solar cells is one of the effective ways to reduce the relative cost. At present, the highest efficiencies of single-junction GaAs and Si solar cells are about 26% and 25% respective...
