金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)法生长的掺硼氧化锌(BZO)薄膜,具有天然的类金字塔绒面结构,作为硅基薄膜太阳电池的前电极具有良好的陷光效果. 但直接获得的BZO薄膜表面形貌过于尖锐,影响后续硅基薄膜材料生长质量及太阳电池的光电转换效率. 本文设计了以一层超薄In2O3:Sn(ITO)薄膜(~ 4 nm厚度)作为中间层的多层膜,并通过对顶层BZO薄膜的厚度调制,改善BZO 薄膜的表面特性,薄膜结构为:glass/底层BZO/ITO/顶层BZO. 合适厚度的顶层BZO薄膜有助于获得类似菜花状形貌特征,尖锐的表面趋于柔和,而较厚的顶层BZO薄膜仍然保持类金字塔状结构. 柔和的BZO薄膜表面结构有助于提高后续生长薄膜电池的结晶质量. 将获得的新型三明治结构多层膜应用于p-i-n型氢化微晶硅(c-Si:H)薄膜太阳电池,相比传统的BZO薄膜,电池的量子效率QE在500800 nm 波长范围提高了~ 10%,并且电池的Jsc和Voc均有所提高.

Boron-doped zinc oxide (BZO) films with a natural pyramid-textured surface grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) have large light trapping effect in thin film silicon solar cells when used as front contact electrodes. However, the surface topography of traditional BZO films is so sharp as to damage the quality of the subsequent silicon thin film materials and to reduce the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of the solar cells. In this work, an ultra-thin In2O3:Sn(ITO)film (~ 4 nm) is used as the interlayer in the sandwiched structure of the multilayer films, i.e. glass/bottom BZO layer /ITO interlayer/top BZO layer. The surface properties can be improved through modulating the thickness of the top BZO layer. Appropriate thickness of top BZO layer and ITO interlayer are helpful for obtaining the cauliflower-like surface morphology and thus the sharp structure becomes relatively gentle, but the surface morphology still keeps a pyramid feature when depositing thicker top BZO layer. The relatively gentle surface morphology could promote crystallization quality ofc-Si:H thin film materials and reduce cracks in intrinsic layer and TCO/P-Si interface defects. Finally, this new sandwiched structure of multilayer ZnO films is applied in c-Si:H p-i-n thin film solar cells. Compared with traditional BZO films, the quantum efficiency (QE) of solar cells with a sandwiched structure of ZnO increases by about 10%, and both the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current density (Jsc) may increase and thus improve the solar cell efficiency.-
