Abstract

The invention discloses a thin-film solar cell composite back electrode utilizing polymers as a substrate and a preparation method. The thin-film solar cell composite back electrode comprises a high-resistance residual tensile stress metal Mo film, a low-resistance residual pressure tensile metal Mo film and a low-resistance high-reflection residual pressure stress metal Mo film which sequentially grow on a flexible polymer substrate. The preparation method includes changing magnetic-control sputtering parameters to realize good binding performance of the composite metal Mo back electrode and the flexible polymer substrate. Radiation reflection rate of incidence light is high, and meanwhile, failure of the flexible polymer substrate caused by high-performance sputtering is avoided, and the surface resistance of the metal Mo composite back electrode can meet the requirements of thin-film solar cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor thin film solar cell, in particular to a composite back electrode grown on a flexible polymer substrate and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the semiconductor thin film solar cell structure with the lower layer configuration, rational selection of the back contact layer and the back electrode is one of the key factors to reduce the back contact barrier, form a good ohmic contact, and improve the open circuit voltage and fill factor. Taking flexible cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cells as an example, the selection requirements for the back electrode mainly consider the following aspects: (1) High work function metal material, which is the requirement for the back electrode metal to form an ohmic contact with the CdTe film. Because the work function of the p-CdTe material is about 5.78eV, if the work function of the back electrode metal material is too low, a Schottky barrie...
