Embodiment 1

[0039] First, a soda lime glass substrate on which a molybdenum back electrode was vapor-deposited to a thickness of about 1 μm by a DC sputtering process was prepared.

[0040] The substrate on which the back electrode is formed is mounted in a vacuum evaporation device equipped with Cu, Zn, Sn, and Se evaporation sources, the substrate is heated, and the substrate temperature (T sub ) Open the shutters of all evaporation sources while maintaining the temperature at 500°C, and perform evaporation for 60 minutes. The evaporation temperature of each evaporation source used for vapor deposition is 1330°C for Cu evaporation source, 360°C for Zn evaporation source, 1360°C for Sn evaporation source, and 140°C for Se evaporation source.

[0041] Next, the temperature of the substrate is lowered with only the shutter of the Cu evaporation source closed, vapor deposition is performed using the Zn, Sn, and Se evaporation sources, and the shutters of all the evaporation sources are closed wh...

[0044] Prepare the same glass substrate as in Example 1, mount it in a vacuum evaporation device equipped with Cu, Zn, Sn, and Se evaporation sources, heat the substrate, and maintain T sub = 500°C, open the shutters of all evaporation sources, and perform evaporation for 40 minutes. The evaporation temperature of each evaporation source used for vapor deposition is 1320°C for Cu evaporation source, 360°C for Zn evaporation source, 1480°C for Sn evaporation source, and 140°C for Se evaporation source.

[0045] Next, lower the temperature of the substrate with the shutters of the Cu evaporation source and Zn evaporation source closed, and use Sn and Se evaporation sources for evaporation. When the substrate temperature becomes 400°C, all the evaporation sources are closed. When the temperature of the substrate becomes 70°C, remove it from the simultaneous vacuum evaporation device.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a CZTSe light absorbing thin film of a good quality on the basis of a simultaneous vacuum evaporation process. The method comprises the steps of: simultaneously evaporating Cu, Zn, Sn, and Se and depositing the Cu, Zn, Sn, and Se on a substrate (step a); and simultaneously evaporating Zn, Sn, and Se and depositing the Zn, Sn, and Se on the substrate, while lowering the temperature of the substrate (step b). The present invention performs the simultaneous vacuum evaporation process at a high temperature, and performs an additional evaporation process while lowering the temperature of the substrate, thereby having an effect of solving problems caused by a loss of Sn accompanied with a high-temperature simultaneous vacuum evaporation process. In addition, since a CZTSe light absorbing layer formed by the manufacturing method of the present invention is of a great quality, the present invention has an effect of enhancing the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a CZTSe solar cell manufactured using the CZTSe light absorbing layer.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a light absorption layer of a CZTSe solar cell, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing a light absorption layer of a CZTSe solar cell through a simultaneous vacuum evaporation process. Background technique [0002] In recent years, as the price of silicon has soared due to insufficient supply of silicon, thin-film solar cells that can replace silicon solar cells have attracted more and more attention. The thickness of the thin-film solar cell can be made thin, so not only the material consumption is small, the weight is light, but also the application range is wide. [0003] As a material for this thin-film solar cell, the use of amorphous silicon, CdTe, CIS (CuInSe 2 , CuIn 1-x Ga x Se 2 , CuIn 1-x Ga x S 2 Etc.). [0004] CIS thin film is one of the I-III-IV compound semiconductors. Among them, CIGS solar cells have the highest conversion efficiency (about 20.4%) among thin-film solar ...
