Abstract

The invention discloses a copper indium gallium selenide film solar cell with quantum well structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The cell comprises a PN junction formed by a CIGS absorbing layer and a CdS buffer layer. The CIGS absorbing layer comprises a quantum well structure formed by a plurality of cycles. The quantum well can separate and capture the free electrons, under the excitation of sunlight, large current is formed and the efficiency of the film solar cell is improved. According to the quantum well structure, the abnormal growth of grains and the formation of pores and cracks are avoided, a dense high-quality film with uniform grain size and matched energy gap is formed, and at the same time, the full absorption of the sunlight is facilitated according to the quantum well structure. Therefore, the efficiency of the copper indium gallium selenide film solar cell is improved further.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar cell, a thin film solar cell with a quantum well structure and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a copper indium gallium selenium thin film solar cell structure with a quantum well structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Since the French scientist AE. Becquerel discovered the photoelectric conversion phenomenon in 1839, the first solar cell based on semiconductor selenium was born in 1883. Russell obtained the first solar cell patent (US.2,402,662) in 1946, and its photoelectric conversion efficiency was only 1%. It was not until 1954 that Bell Laboratories' research discovered that doped silicon-based materials have high photoelectric conversion efficiency. This research laid the foundation for the modern solar cell industry. In 1958, the Haffman Power Company of the United States installed the first solar panel on a satellite in the United States, and its photoelect...
