Problems solved by technology

In the traditional GaAs solar cell manufacturing process, although the heavily doped GaAs cap layer can form a good ohmic contact with the positive electrode, it increases the recombination center of photogenerated carriers, resulting in a large series resistance and In addition, the dense front electrode grid lines will cause a large shading loss, which further restricts the improvement of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of gallium arsenide solar cells

Abstract

The invention provides a preparing method of a graphene / gallium arsenide solar battery. The preparing method comprises the steps of 1, transferring the graphene to the surface of a window layer of the surface of a gallium arsenide epitaxial wafer to form a graphene layer; 2, preparing a heavy doping gallium arsenide cap layer on the surface of the graphene layer; 3, preparing a rear electrode on the surface of the heavy doping gallium arsenide cap layer, and preparing a front electrode on the heavy doping surface of the gallium arsenide cap layer; 4, adopting a chemical etching method to etch the heavy doping gallium arsenide cap layer among grid lines of the front electrode to expose the graphene layer, and preparing an antireflection layer on the exposed graphene layer. According to the graphene / gallium arsenide solar battery, the graphene layer is adopted as a transparent conducting layer, single or more layer of graphene are transferred to a position between a window layer of a traditional unijunction or multijunction gallium arsenide solar battery and the heavy doping gallium arsenide cap layer through a graphene transferring technology, therefore, transverse transport of photo-generated carriers can be promoted, recombination centers of photo-generated carriers can be reduced, series resistance can be reduced, a fill factor can be improved, and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar battery can be improved.
