Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cell preparation, in particular to a solar cell passivation material Al 2 o 3 Concentration gradient doped ZnO thin film and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] Crystalline silicon solar cells have become the most widely used solar cells due to their mature technology and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, in the preparation process of crystalline silicon cells, processes such as cutting silicon wafers and preparing light-trapping structures will cause damage to the surface of silicon wafers. -The recombination rate of hole pairs, thereby reducing the collection of charges by electrodes and reducing the efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells. Al 2 o 3 Thin film has dual passivation effects of chemical passivation and field passivation, and is currently the most excellent passivation material for crystalline silicon solar cells. It has been applied to PER...
