Problems solved by technology

The traditional method of depositing metal at the bottom of slot P2 mainly uses screen printing silver paste, but screen printing has the problem that it is difficult to align slot P2. When the alignment is not correct, not only the conductivity of the battery will not be improved, but it will increase. The efficiency of solar cells is affected by the influence of the shading area

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a self aligned electrode on a surface of a thin-film type solar battery. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: manufacturing a metal back electrode layer, a light absorption layer, a buffer layer, a high resistance layer and an electric conduction window layer on a substrate sequentially and arranging grooves at corresponding positions, thus obtaining a solar battery assembly in series connection; and adopting an electroplating technology to electroplate a metal layer for reducing the depth width ratio of a second groove at the bottom of the second groove, thus improving the uniformity of a transparent electrode layer and reducing the electron loss in transport. The bottom of the second groove is the metal back electrode layer, and the electroplating technology is adopted, so that the metal layer can be manufactured on the metal back electrode layer at the bottom of the groove directly, thereby avoiding the efficiency of the solar battery being influenced by the factor that metal layers are formed at a window layer and other positions.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of photovoltaic cell manufacturing, in particular to a method for manufacturing a surface self-alignment electrode of a thin-film solar cell. 【Background technique】 [0002] The compound semiconductor copper indium gallium selenide (Cu(In,Ga)Se) with chalcopyrite structure 2 , referred to as CIGS) film as a light-absorbing layer of thin-film solar cells not only has a high energy conversion efficiency, but also has radiation stability, and thus become one of the research hotspots in the field of photovoltaic cells. [0003] The existing CIGS thin film solar cell structure includes sequentially stacked substrate / back electrode layer / light absorbing layer / buffer layer / window layer / transparent electrode layer, etc., and by making grooves on the film, such as opening grooves on the back electrode layer P1, slot P2 is opened on the light absorbing layer, buffer layer and high resistance layer, slot P3 is opened on the l...
