Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of an InGaN / Si double-node solar cell, which comprises the following steps of: sequentially growing an AlN nucleating layer, a GaN buffer layer, an n-InxGa1-xN layer and a p-InxGa1-xN layer on an n-Si substrate; and carrying out evaporation plating on positive and negative electrodes. The preparation method has the characteristics that 1, a p-Si layer is prepared between the n-Si substrate and the AlN nucleating layer; 2, a semitransparent current expansion layer on the p-InxGa1-xN layer; and 3, the negative electrode is prepared at the reverse side of the n-Si substrate. According to the invention, the p-Si layer is arranged between the n-Si substrate and the AlN nucleating layer, so the Si bottom cell is formed by the p-Si layer and the n-Si substrate, the cell is easy to prepare and the total conversion efficiency of the cell is high; the semitransparent current expansion layer is subjected to evaporation plating, so that the cell has strong anti-radiation capacity and has long service life; and the negative electrode is formed on the lower surface of the n-Si substrate by evaporation plating, so that the process is simplified, the cost is reduced and the InGaN / Si double-node solar cell can also be used as a reflector, and thus, the total conversion efficiency of the cell is further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a preparation method of an InGaN / Si double-junction solar cell. Background technique [0002] At present, the known energy sources are non-renewable. After years of mining, the reserves of these energy sources are decreasing day by day, and they will cause serious environmental problems after use. More and more attention has been paid to the exhausted green energy. For a long time, we have been tirelessly looking for materials with high conversion efficiency of solar energy. In recent years, the third-generation semiconductor materials represented by GaN, InGaN, and AlGaN—group III nitrides have become a research hotspot. They are mainly used in optoelectronic devices and high-temperature, high-frequency, and high-power devices. The research results in 2002 showed that the forbidden band width of InN was not 1.89eV as previously reported but 0.7eV, which means that by adjust...
