Abstract

A multilayer thin film for a photovoltaic cell includes a plurality of low-refractivity thin film layers and a plurality of high-refractivity thin film layers alternately coating a transparent substrate. The thickest layer of the low-refractivity thin film layers is thicker than all of the high-refractivity thin film layers and is one and half times thicker than all of the other layers of the low-refractivity thin film layers.

Claims (7)

1 . A multilayer thin film for a photovoltaic cell comprising a plurality of low-refractivity thin film layers and a plurality of high-refractivity thin film layers alternately coating a transparent substrate,

wherein the thickest layer of the low-refractivity thin film layers is thicker than all of the high-refractivity thin film layers and is one and half times thicker than all of the other layers of the low-refractivity thin film layers.

2 . The multilayer thin film according to claim 1 , wherein the thickest low-refractivity thin film layer has a thickness of 150 nm or more.

3 . The multilayer thin film according to claim 1 , wherein the thickest low-refractivity thin film layer has a refractive index ranging from 2.0 to 2.4.

4 . The multilayer thin film according to claim 3 , wherein the high-refractivity thin film layers are made of one selected from the group consisting of TiO 2 , Ta 2 O 5 , Ti 2 O 3 , Si 3 N 4 , Ti 3 O 5 , ZrO 2 , Nb 2 O 5 , diamond-like carbon, and a material containing diamond-like carbon.

5 . The multilayer thin film according to claim 1 , wherein the low-refractivity thin film layers have a refractive index ranging from 1.38 to 1.46.

6 . The multilayer thin film according to claim 5 , wherein the low-refractivity thin film layers are made of one selected from the group consisting of SiO 2 , MgF 2 , diamond-like carbon, and a material containing diamond-like carbon.
