The invention relates to the technical field of
solar cell structures, in particular to a flexible multi-junction
solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. The flexible multi-junction
solar cell comprises a PI film, a bonding
metal layer, a back
metal layer, an
ohmic contact metal layer, a DBR reflecting layer, an epitaxial layer structure, an antireflection film and an N
electrode. According to the flexible multi-junction solar
cell, the GaAs substrate is firstly used, the
sapphire substrate is used in the middle, the PI film is finally used as the final substrate, the mode of overturning the epitaxial
wafer twice is adopted, the process is simple, and the problems that the consumption of
precious metal is large due to multiple times of metal bonding, and the performance of the epitaxial
wafer is affected due to high temperature of the
evaporation and thermal stripping film process can be solved;
germanium materials are saved, and cost is low; the PI film is used as the
cell substrate, the weight is light, the
mechanical strength is high, the
cell substrate can be bent, and the design requirement of a solar cell array on a
spacecraft can be met.
