Problems solved by technology

At present, many scientific research institutes in the world have begun to study silicon nanowire radial heterojunction solar cells, and some results have been reported one after another. However, they all use plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to prepare amorphous silicon thin films. This method is not only difficult to achieve good conformal deposition of amorphous silicon thin films on nanowires, but also has unsatisfactory passivation effects due to ion bombardment and initial plasma instability, so the radial heterogeneity of nanowires reported so far The open circuit voltage of the junction solar cell has not exceeded 560mV, and the conversion efficiency of the cell is less than 10%.

Abstract

The invention relates to a silicon nanowire radial heterojunction solar battery manufacture method and belongs to the photovoltaic technical field. By means of a hot filament chemical vapor deposition technology, intrinsic and n-type amorphous silicon membranes are sequentially subjected to conformal deposition on a monocrystalline silicon piece with nanowires to manufacture a silicon nanowire radial heterojunction solar battery with the structure of n-a-Si: H / i-a-Si: H / p-c-SiNW. By the aid of good atom hydrogen treatment and intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation capacities of the hot filament chemical vapor deposition technology, properties of the manufactured nanowire radial heterojunction solar battery are substantially improved; the nanowire radial heterojunction solar battery has a novel structure, good properties and wide application values in the photovoltaic field.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a silicon nanowire radial heterojunction solar cell, which belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology. Background technique [0002] The light absorption and carrier transport directions of traditional planar junction solar cells are parallel, and the two are also a contradiction: in order to fully absorb light, the material must be thick enough, and in terms of electrical transport, in order to be able to To realize the effective collection of carriers, the material is required to be sufficiently thin. This shortcoming seriously affects the further improvement of the performance of traditional planar solar cells. Therefore, research on new structural solar cells is imperative. The preparation of radial p-n junction solar cells on nanowires can not only take advantage of the good light trapping effect of nanowire structures, but also solve the contradictions in light absorption and carrier transpo...
