Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of a light absorption layer of a CIGS-base thin film solar cell. The method comprises the following steps that: a substrate is provided, and a prefabricated layer is deposited on the substrate; an inert gas, a selenium-containing object and a sulfur-containing object are introduced into a heating furnace, and heat energy is transferred into the furnace, and temperature is increased to first temperature from room temperature, and keeps constant for a certain period at the first temperature; the temperature is increased to second temperature from the first temperature, and keeps constant for a certain period at the second temperature; the temperature is increased to third temperature from the second temperature, and keeps constant for a certain period at the third second temperature; the temperature is decreased to fourth temperature from the third temperature, and keeps constant for a certain period at the fourth second temperature; and the temperature is decreased to room temperature. With the preparation method of the invention adopted, the light absorption layer can have larger grains, and therefore, higher open-circuit voltage and a high fill factor can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thin-film solar cells, and more specifically, the invention provides a method for preparing a light-absorbing layer of a CIGS-based thin-film solar cell. 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 direct bandgap P-type semiconductor material with an absorption coefficient as high as 10 5 / cm, 2um thick copper indium gallium selenide film can absorb more than 90% of sunlight. The band gap of the CIGS thin film is continuou...
