Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of light self-trapping AZO (aluminium-doped zinc oxide) film glass. The preparation method comprises the following steps of growing a layer of AZO film with a thickness of 50-100 nm at a high speed by virtue of the mixed plasma of Ar and oxygen or Ar and vapour at first, and then further growing the AZO film with a thickness of 500-600 nm at a growth speed slower than the previous speed by virtue of an independent Ar plasma and a higher ion equivalent, wherein the obtained AZO film with a total thickness of 600-700 nm has texture structure and morphology; an acid etching link in a conventional AZO texturization process is avoided; the thickness, and production and manufacturing costs needed by the AZO film are effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of photovoltaic cell glass, in particular to a method for preparing an AZO thin film glass with self-trapping light for the front electrode of a silicon-based thin film solar cell. Background technique [0002] The AZO thin film glass used for the front electrode of amorphous silicon / microcrystalline silicon thin film solar cells requires a textured structure, so as to achieve better light trapping effect, effectively increase the absorption of light and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. For the preparation of AZO films with a textured structure, the current mainstream preparation method is mainly to use the surface etchability of AZO films, first using magnetron sputtering technology, at a temperature greater than 300 ° C, to prepare electrical properties and optical properties. The AZO film with good performance is then etched on the surface to achieve surface texture. Surface etching can...
