Abstract

The invention provides a multi-junction solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The multi-junction solar cell comprises a plurality of sub-cells and a tunnel junction layer connected with the sub-cells, wherein the tunnel junction layer is composed of an N-type semiconductor layer and a P-type semiconductor layer which are stacked; each of the N-type semiconductor layer and the P-type semiconductor layer comprises a plurality of first type doped layers; the first type doped layer is selected from any one of a lightly doped layer and a non-doped layer; the N-type semiconductor layer and the P-type semiconductor layer respectively comprise second type doped layers stacked alternately with the first type doped layers, the second type doped layer is a heavily doped layer; and the outermost layers of the N-type semiconductor layer and the P-type semiconductor layer are first type doped layers. According to the tunnel junction with the superlattice structure, doping defects can be reduced, the tunnel junction is convenient to grow, the process difficulty is reduced, and the matching performance with upper and lower layer sub-cells is high; moreover, the tunnel junction with the superlattice structure can also reduce the impedance of the tunnel junction and improve the tunneling effect of the tunnel junction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, in particular to a multi-junction solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Multi-junction GaAs solar cells are based on GaAs materials, and materials with different band gaps are used to form multi-junction cells. Each junction cell absorbs different bands of the solar spectrum, and the cell components are composed of tunnel junctions in series, with more than 40% Photoelectric conversion efficiency, in addition, it has the advantages of stable power generation, light weight, strong radiation resistance, and high land utilization rate. [0003] At present, GaAs solar cells are mainly made of metal-organic compounds, and are prepared by vapor phase deposition (MOCVD) or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). As a transition junction for effectively interconnecting two subcells, the tunnel junction should feature high light transmittance and low impedance, and its la...
