Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of an alkali metal layer of a thin-film solar cell and coating equipment. The preparation method comprises the steps of heating a substrate on which an absorption layer is formed, and adjusting the temperature of the substrate to reach a preset temperature threshold; and depositing an alkali metal layer with a preset thickness on the surface, which is away from the back electrode layer, of the absorption layer according to the temperature of the substrate. According to the invention, the alkali metal layer with the preset thickness is deposited on the surface of the absorption layer, the surface of the absorption layer is treated, the roughness of the surface of the absorption layer is reduced, the relatively regular surface of the absorption layer is obtained, technological parameters are controlled to accurately control the amount of alkali metal deposited on the surface of the absorption layer and entering the absorption layer, optimization of the surface appearance of the absorption layer is controlled, and the power of the solar cell is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coating of solar cell substrates, in particular to a method for preparing an absorbing layer of a thin-film solar cell and a coating chamber. Background technique [0002] The research on thin-film solar cells has developed rapidly in recent years and has become the most active direction in the field of solar cells. Among them, copper indium gallium selenide is particularly eye-catching. It is the best solar cell material system that can take into account both high efficiency and low cost. and the most realistic system. [0003] At present, most copper indium gallium selenide batteries are produced by vacuum evaporation, which is generally called co-evaporation. Co-evaporation coating refers to the process of evaporating the coating material (or film material) by a certain heating and evaporation method under vacuum conditions and making it gasify into particles, and the particles fly to the surface of t...
