摘要:
Device structures, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed for photovoltaic cells that may be a single-junction or multijunction solar cells, with at least a first layer comprising a group-IV semiconductor in which part of the cell comprises a second layer comprising a III-V semiconductor or group-IV semiconductor having a different composition than the group-IV semiconductor of the first layer, such that a heterostructure is formed between the first and second layers.
摘要:
The present invention provides a heterojunction solar cell where a silicon layer constituting a photoconversion layer is composed of a single-crystal silicon having a high crystallinity. The invention provides a process for manufacturing a heterojunction solar cell comprising the steps of: implanting at least one of a hydrogen ion and a noble gas ion into an n-type single-crystal silicon substrate to form an ion-implanted layer; allowing an ion-implanted surface of the n-type single-crystal silicon substrate to adhere to a metal substrate via an electroconductive adhesive; curing the electroconductive adhesive to form an electroconductive adhesion layer so that the n-type single-crystal silicon substrate and the metal substrate can laminate together; giving an impact to the ion-implanted layer to mechanically and partially delaminate the n-type single-crystal silicon substrate so as to leave an n-type single-crystal silicon layer on the metal substrate; depositing an n-type transparent semiconductor layer on the n-type single-crystal silicon layer; forming a collecting electrode on a part of the n-type transparent semiconductor layer; and forming a transparent protective film on both the n-type transparent semiconductor layer and the collecting electrode.
