Problems solved by technology

Therefore, if the deposition rate is simply increased, due to the short film growth time, the grains cannot be fully grown, the grain size is small, and the grain boundaries increase; and the random orientation (112) increases, and the surface roughne

[0029] Please also see figure 2 with image 3 , the preparation method of the copper indium gallium selenide thin film of an embodiment, comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step 1 ( S110 ): in a selenium atmosphere, gallium and indium are co-evaporated, so that the selenium, gallium and indium are deposited on the substrate.

[0031] The substrate is preferably a glass substrate deposited with a back electrode layer, stainless steel foil or titanium foil, and the like.

[0032] Put the substrate and four evaporation sources of copper (Cu), indium (In), gallium (Ga) and selenium (Se) in the evaporation system, heat the substrate to the required temperature, and keep the substrate temperature constant, Selenium is evaporated to create a selenium atmosphere, gallium and indium are evaporated at the same time, and the gas atoms evaporated from the surface of the high-temperature evaporation source are deposited on the substrate with a lower temperature, so that indium, gall...

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for a copper indium gallium diselenide thin film. The preparation method for the copper indium gallium diselenide thin film comprises the steps of 1, co-evaporating gallium and indium in a selenium atmosphere to enable the selenium, the gallium and the indium to be deposited on a substrate; 2, heating the substrate, and evaporating copper in the selenium atmosphere to enable the selenium and the copper to be deposited on the substrate; 3, preserving the temperature of the substrate, and co-evaporating the gallium and the indium in the selenium atmosphere to form the copper indium gallium diselenide thin film. A ratio of the co-evaporating time in the step 1 to the co-evaporating time in the step 3 is (5:1)-(7:1). By virtue of rising of the evaporating temperature of the hot gallium and the indium, acceleration of thin film deposition and setting of the ratio relation between the evaporation amount in the step 1 and the evaporation amount in the step 3, the much indium can enter the thin film, and the gallium content of the surface of the thin film can be increased; therefore, the gradient distribution of all the elements can be obviously improved, defects on the surface of the copper indium gallium diselenide thin film can be reduced, the quality of the copper indium gallium diselenide thin film can be improved, and the energy consumption is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic device preparation, in particular to a method for preparing a copper indium gallium selenide thin film. Background technique [0002] In the laboratory of scientists, the co-evaporation process is currently the most widely used and efficient method for preparing copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells. The world record of 20.4% photoelectric conversion rate is established by the Swiss Federal Materials Testing and Development achieved by the co-evaporation method. The basic principle of the co-evaporation method is to place four evaporation source targets of copper (Cu), indium (In), gallium (Ga), and selenium (Se) in a vacuum chamber. When the target is heated to the surface with target molecules When detached from the evaporation source, deposition will occur on the substrate, and the target molecules on the substrate will react with each other, finally forming a CIGS c...
