Abstract

The invention provides a nitride thin-film solar cell. The nitride thin-film solar cell comprises a substrate, an undoped layer, a Bragg reflector, an n-type doped layer, an undoped multi-quantum welllayer and a p-type doped layer. The substrate is provided with the undoped layer, the Bragg reflector, the n-type doped layer, the undoped multi-quantum well layer and the p-type doped layer from bottom to top, wherein the edge region of the n-type doped layer is a table surface, an n-type ohmic electrode is arranged on the table surface, and the p-type ohmic electrode is arranged on the p-type doped layer. The DBR structure adopted by the invention has the characteristic of the adjustable high-reflectivity wave band. The position of the high-reflectivity wave band is adjusted by adjusting the nitride components, the thickness and the periodicity of a high-refractive-index layer and a low-refractive-index layer in the DBR structure, so that the high-reflectivity wave band and a battery spectral response curve are consistent and coordinated; that is, the high-reflectivity wave band is adjusted to a position consistent with the band where the solar cell is at high quantum efficiency. Inthis manner, the efficiency of the device may be maximized.
