摘要
To develop polycrystalline thin-film tandem solar cells, a SrCuSeF/In2O3:Sn (ITO) bilayer film was studied. The transparent p-type conductive SrCuSeF layer was deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and the n-type conductive ITO layer was deposited by RF sputtering. The SrCuSeF/ITO bilayer film showed ohmic I-V characteristics. A tunnel junction between the p-type SrCuSeF and n-type ITO layers was successfully formed because the p-type SrCuSeF and the n-type ITO layers had sufficiently high carrier concentrations. The SrCuSeF/ITO bilayer film was applied as the back contact of a CdS/CdTe solar cell. The photovoltaic performance of the CdS/CdTe solar cell depends considerably on the thickness of the SrCuSeF layer. The CdTe solar cell with a back contact of the SrCuSeF layer with a thickness of 34 nm and the ITO layer with a thickness of 200nm showed a high conversion efficiency of 14.3% (V-OC = 804mV, J(SC) = 27.5mA/cm(2), and FF = 0.65). The conversion efficiency was much higher than that of the CdTe solar cell with the SrCuSeF single-layer back contact (11.6%) and that of the CdTe cell with the ITO single-layer back contact (2.75%).
