Abstract

The invention relates to a P type microcrystalline silicon carbon film material for a PI flexible substrate solar cell and preparation, belonging to the field of a film solar cell in new energy. The thickness of the P type microcrystalline silicon carbon film material layer is 15-30nm, the conductance is 0.15S/cm-10S/cm, the band gap is more than 2.0eV, and the crystallization rate is 30%-50%. By the optimization research for changing the proportion of carbon doping, the photoelectric performance and the structural characteristics of the material are controlled. P type microcrystalline silicon carbon with high conductance and wide band gap is obtained by utilizing the effect that carbon atom introduction can increase the band gap of a silicon film. The invention has the beneficial effects that the P type microcrystalline silicon carbon material with wide band gap is used in the PI non-transparent flexible substrate amorphous silicon film solar cell and is combined with an optimized p/i buffer layer, the built-in electric field of the film solar cell can be obviously strengthened, the open-circuit voltage of the cell is increased, and therefore the amorphous silicon film solar cell with high photoelectric conversion efficiency is obtained.
