Abstract

The invention discloses a sodium doping method for a CIGS-based thin film photovoltaic material. According to the method, a substrate, a barrier layer covering the surface of the substrate, a metal back electrode layer covering the barrier layer, a light absorption layer covering the metal back electrode layer, a buffering layer covering the light absorption layer and a transparent conductive window layer covering the buffering layer are included. Sodium doping is carried out on light absorption through the method of depositing Ga-Na alloy materials, heat treatment is carried out on the light absorption layer, and therefore the light absorption layer material containing sodium with the atomic ratio between copper and the sum of indium and gallium is 0.84-0.99 can be formed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thin-film solar cells, and more specifically, the invention provides a method and structure for sodium doping of CIGS-based thin-film photovoltaic materials. Background technique [0002] With the global warming, the deterioration of the ecological environment and the shortage of conventional energy, more and more countries have begun to vigorously develop solar energy utilization technology. Solar photovoltaic power generation is a zero-emission clean energy, which has the advantages of safety, reliability, no noise, no pollution, inexhaustible resources, short construction period, and long service life, so it has attracted much attention. Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) is a P-type semiconductor material with a direct band gap, and its absorption coefficient is as high as 105 / cm. A 2um thick copper indium gallium selenide film can absorb more than 90% of sunlight. The band gap of the CIGS thin fi...
