不同温度下制备的CdTe薄膜对太阳电池光电性能的影响

The effect of different preparation temperatures on the photoelectric properties of CdTe films and solar cells

在不同温度下用近空间升华法(CSS)制备了CdTe多晶薄膜,结合I-V,C-V特性及深能级瞬态谱研究了不同温度制备的CdTe薄膜对CdS/CdTe太阳电池性能的影响.结果表明,制备温度对电池组件的开路电压影响不大,对短路电流和填充因子有影响,CdTe薄膜的深中心对温度和频率的响应基本一致.580℃制备的样品暗饱和电流密度最小,载流子浓度较高,光电特性较好,而且空穴陷阱浓度较低,深中心复合作用较小.在此研究基础上制备出了面积为300mm×400mm,组件转换效率为8.2%的大面积CdTe太阳电池.

In this research, the CdTe polycrystalline films are prepared at various temperatures by close-spaced sublimation. The experiment was conducted to investigate how difference in preparation temperature effects on CdTe/CdS solar cells by the characteration of I-V, C-V curves and deep level transient spectroscopy. The result shows that the difference of temperatures has some effect on Isc and FF, but not on V∝. The samples prepared at 580℃ have lowest dark saturated current density, higher carrier concentration and the photovoltaic performance is preferable. The response of deep-level impurities in CdTe films is unchanged with temperature and frequency, but the sample prepared at 580℃ has less deep-level impurity recombination because of lower hole trap concentration. Then, the CdS/CdTe solar ceils with large area of 300 mm ×400 mm have efficiency reaching 8.2 % by improving the uniformity of temperature field.
