Abstract

The invention discloses a composite back reflection metal electrode for a thin film solar cell; the composite back reflective metal electrode is a composite multi-layer film, and a transition layer metal, a silver film and aluminum-doped zinc oxide are sequentially deposited on a substrate. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the composite back reflective metal electrode. According to the composite back reflective metal electrode disclosed by the invention, as the transition layer metal has excellent adhesion with the flexible substrate, all layers of the deposited thin films are less prone to shed from the substrate; simultaneously, the silver film has obvious texture, and a light trapping structure is formed, so that the reflection of incident light is enhanced, the absorption of the incident light in an absorption layer of the cell is fuller, and the performances of the cell can be improved; and the aluminum-doped zinc oxide has appropriate thickness, so that the aluminum-doped zinc oxide can not only prevent silver from being diffused and entering into the cell during the preparation process of the cell, but also have the effects of covering a peak on the surface of the silver film and enhancing reflected light. Therefore, the composite back reflective metal electrode disclosed by the invention can improve the bonding force between the thin films and the substrate, and significantly improve the performances of the cell and the uniformity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photovoltaic cell and a preparation method thereof, more specifically, to a composite back-reflective metal electrode for a thin-film solar cell, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Since the world's first amorphous silicon solar cell was manufactured by the RCA laboratory in the United States in 1976, silicon-based thin-film solar cells have attracted widespread attention due to their unique advantages, and have developed rapidly and have broad application prospects. [0003] The typical structure of silicon-based thin-film solar cells is substrate / back electrode / nip-Si / top electrode / gate line stacked in sequence. In recent years, many studies on fabrication methods, materials, and device structures have been carried out around improving battery performance. The efficiency of silicon-based thin-film cells strongly depends on the quality of the metallized back reflector of the substrat...
