Problems solved by technology

Due to defects such as complex process, poor repeatability, and long cycle, these process technologies are not suitable for continuous, high-capacity, and low-cost industrial production
Some companies, such as Solyndra and Nanosolar in the United States, use paste printing technology to achieve large-scale production of CIGS thin-film cells. Due to production process and cost issues, it is still difficult to form a competitive advantage in the photovoltaic cell market

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a compound thin film for a solar battery. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, sputtering a copper-indium-gallium-selenium (CIGS) quaternary compound target by using a direct-current pulse power supply, and depositing an amorphous or nano crystalline thin film material with uniform thickness, uniform components and ideal element proportions on a glass substrate at a low temperature; secondly, quickly and thermally treating the thin film in a heat field formed by a resistance heat source and a halogen tungsten lamp tube heat source to restrain the loss of an element Se so as to obtain a CIGS thin film with high crystallinity, large crystallite dimension, high compactness and good chalcopyrite structural phases, and feeding a proper amount of H2Se+Ar or H2S+Ar mixed gas into the heat field for compensation; thirdly, quickly transferring the thin film to an H2S+Ar atmosphere and suddenly cooling the thin film; and finally, performing low-temperature annealing on the CIGS thin film under the atmosphere of H2 and Ar mixed gas so as to eliminate the stress and an inner defect of the thin film and passivate a current carrier compound center.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a photoelectric thin film material for a solar cell. technical background [0002] The current shortage or depletion of traditional fossil fuels, especially the control of greenhouse gas emissions in human development and the advocacy of low-carbon economy, make the development of renewable energy more urgent. Because solar energy is clean, non-polluting, and inexhaustible, it has become an important part of the sustainable development energy strategy of various countries. Solar cells, as an effective means of utilizing solar energy, have broad prospects for development. Currently commercialized solar cells are mainly crystalline silicon solar cells. This type of solar cell has a mature production process, high conversion efficiency and strong stability. However, the efficiency of this type of cell has almost reached the limit, and there is...
