摘要 |
A new solar cell of a I-III-VI2 semiconductor material that has an inversion layer is provided. The cell comprises a substrate having an electrically conductive, first electrode, a p-conductive, polycrystalline semiconductor layer of chalcopyrite material, a barrier layer composed of an electrically non-conductive material, a second electrode, and an antireflection layer. The anti-reflection layer has stationary, positive charges that induce a negatively charged inversion layer in the boundary surface region of the semiconductor layer relative to the barrier layer. The negatively charged inversion layer serves as an emitter for a space charge zone. In an embodiment the invention comprises a semiconductor layer of copper-indium-diselenide or copper-gallium-diselenide, a barrier layer of silicon dioxide, an anti-reflection layer of silicon nitride, and cesium chloride as the stationary charges.
