Abstract

The invention is applicable to the technical field of solar cells, and provides an inverted-structure copper-indium-gallium-selenium solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The preparation methodcomprises the steps of: depositing an Al electrode on the surface of a substrate; depositing a ZnO window layer on the surface of the Al electrode; depositing a Cu-In-Ga or Cu-In-Ga-Se alloy thin layer on the surface of the ZnO window layer to obtain a multi-layer thin-film structure; placing the multi-layer thin-film structure in a selenium containing atmosphere for annealing treatment, selenizing the Cu-In-Ga or Cu-In-Ga-Se alloy thin layer into a copper-indium-gallium-selenium absorption layer, and partially selenizing the ZnO window layer into a ZnSe buffer layer; and depositing a back electrode on the surface of the copper-indium-gallium-selenium absorption layer. The preparation method provided by the invention comprises the steps which are completely opposite to those of an existing copper-indium-gallium-selenium solar cell technology, the ZnO window layer is partially formed into the ZnSe buffer layer through selenylation during the annealing treatment, a buffer layer depositing step does not need to be additionally added, the technological process is short, the ZnSe buffer layer is formed through selenylation, the interface compatibility of the window layer, the buffer layer and the absorption layer is effectively improved, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is increased.
