Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the conventional preparation process, the intrinsic layer and the doped conductive layer are usually deposited by physical vapor deposition processes such as high-vacuum magnetron sputtering, and high-energy particles such as Ar ions during magnetron sputtering will bombard the film layer The surface of the N-type buffer layer is damaged, and the intrinsic layer and the doped conductive layer cannot completely cover the surface of the N-type buffer layer.
At the same time, the vacuum degree of the magnetron sputtering process is very high, ranging from 0.1Pa to 10Pa. Under this vacuum degree, the mean free path of the sputtered particles is long and the movement of the sputtered atoms is directional, which leads to the film layer The surface step coverage is poor, and the situation of preventing short circuit cannot be completely avoided; the coverage effect of the intrinsic layer and the doped conductive layer on the surface of the N-type buffer layer is further deteriorated, especially when the covered surface is stepped, the grain size is large, and the roughness It is especially obvious when the temperature is large, and accordingly, problems such as increased leakage current and decreased open circuit voltage have occurred, which restrict the improvement of the conversion efficiency of thin-film solar cells.

Abstract

The invention relates to the photovoltaic field of thin-film solar cells, and provides a method for increasing the conversion efficiency of a thin-film solar cell. The thin-film solar cell includes a substrate, a back electrode, a P-type light absorption layer, an N-type buffer layer and a window layer, wherein the back electrode, the P-type light absorption layer, the N-type buffer layer and the window layer are successively deposited on the substrate. The window layer includes an intrinsic layer and a doping conducting layer, the intrinsic layer is an intrinsic i-ZnO thin film, and the doping conducting laye ris aluminum-doping ZnO: AI thin film or a boron-doping ZnO:B thin film. The intrinsic layer and the doping conducting layer both have diethylzinc or dimethylzinc acting as zinc sources and are deposited to thin films by adopting a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method. The intrinsic layer and the doping conducting layer are successively deposited on the surface of the N-type buffer layer. The solar cell prepared by the method herein has the characteristics of high conversion efficiency, low requirements for technology and devices, easy mass-production and low cost.
