Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the actual preparation process of GaInNAs materials, since GaInNAs needs to be grown at low temperature to ensure the effective incorporation of N atoms, a large number of C atoms will be introduced into the material at the same time, causing the background carrier concentration to be too high and affecting the minority carrier diffusion length.

Abstract

The invention discloses a five-junction solar energy cell including a DBR structure. According to the cell, a Ge single crystal slice is taken as a substrate, the Ge substrate is sequentially provided with a GaInAs / GaInP buffer layer, an AlGaAs / GaInAs DBR, a Ga1-3xIn3xNxAs1-x sub cell, an AlAs / AlGaAs DBR, a Ga1-3yIn3yNyAs1-y sub cell, an AlGaInAs sub cell and an AlGaInP sub cell, wherein the AlGaAs / GaInAs DBR is used for reflecting long-wave photons, and the AlAs / AlGaAs DBR is used for reflecting middle / long-wave photons. Through the cell, the photons can be absorbed and utilized secondarily by the sub cells, sub cell collection efficiency is improved, so photoelectric conversion efficiency of the five-junction solar energy cell is improved, moreover, thickness of the sub cells can be reduced, cell production efficiency is improved, and cell production cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar photovoltaics, in particular to a five-junction solar cell with a DBR (Distributed Bragg Reflector) structure. Background technique [0002] From the perspective of technological development, solar cells can be roughly divided into three categories: the first generation of crystalline silicon solar cells, the second generation of thin-film solar cells and the third generation of gallium arsenide concentrating (multi-junction) solar cells. At present, gallium arsenide compound solar cells are widely used in concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems and space power systems because their conversion efficiency is significantly higher than that of crystalline silicon cells. The mainstream structure of gallium arsenide multi-junction solar cells is a GaInP / GaInAs / Ge triple-junction solar cell composed of GaInP, GaInAs and Ge sub-cells. The cell structure maintains lattice matching as a whole, and th...
