Background technology
In the face of the continuous deterioration of global energy shortage crisis and biological environment, countries in the world active research and development and use regenerative resource, thus realize the sustainable development of energy industry and society.Wherein, solar energy is considered to the best solution route of the energy crisis and the deterioration of the ecological environment.Solar cell is the device that directly luminous energy is changed into electric energy by photovoltaic effect of semiconductor p-n junction (photovoltaic effect) or Photochemical effects.The commercialization solar cell is based on monocrystalline silicon and amorphous silicon at present.Current, people except that widely applying single crystal silicon solar cell [referring to patent: patent No. JP5243597-A; Patent No. KR2002072736-A], also succeeded in developing polycrystal silicon cell [referring to patent: patent No. US5949123-A], amorphous silicon battery [referring to patent: patent No. JP2002124689-A; Patent No. US6307146-B1], various novel batteries [referring to patent: patent No. JP2002198549-A] such as thin film solar cell, and the solar cell of constantly developing various new materials, new construction again is [referring to patent: patent No. DE19743692-A; DE19743692-A1].
Micro nano structure and material are applied to can increase substantially photoelectric conversion efficiency on the solar cell, are expected to bring revolutionary variation for the development of green energy resource.Compare with other semi-conducting material, silicon materials content is abundant and cheap, and simultaneously with present semiconductor microactuator processing technology compatibility, therefore the solar cell based on silicon micro-nano structure just is being subjected to increasing attention.Lieber seminar of Harvard University successfully developed a kind of novel coaxial silicon nanometer line solar battery in 007 year, and its electricity conversion can reach 5%.This novel battery is main material with silicon nanowire material, cheap [the B.Z.Tian of cost of manufacture, X.L.Zheng, T.J.Kempa, et al., Coaxial silicon nanowires as solar cells and nanoelectronic power sources.Nature 2007,449,885-888.].2008, the Yang Peidong professor seminar of University of California prepared radially p-n junction solar cell [E.C.Garnett, P.D.Yang, J.Am.Chem.Soc.2008,130,9224-9225.] of silicon nanowires.But because there are open defect in p-n junction technology of preparing and battery structure, the silicon nanowires cell photoelectric conversion efficiency of doing preparation at present is lower.
On the bulk silicon micro nano structure technology of preparing basis of our invention [referring to: Chinese patent CN1382626; Chinese patent application numbers 2005100117533; Chinese patent application CN200810084205.7; Chinese patent application CN200810183135.0], we have designed a kind of photovoltaic solar cell device based on silicon micro-nano structure.
