The invention provides a manufacturing method of a photovoltaic
metal screen plate. The manufacturing method comprises the steps that a
mask layer with a target pattern is formed on the second surface of a
metal base material, wherein the target pattern comprises a plurality of hole patterns distributed in an effective area and at least two alignment mark patterns located outside the effective area; and taking the
mask layer as protection, performing chemical
etching on the second surface of the
metal substrate to form a half-etched hole with the depth of D1, and
etching the alignment mark pattern into an alignment through hole penetrating through the
metal substrate. And removing the
mask layer. And based on the alignment through hole, aligning the position of the semi-
etching hole from the first surface of the
metal substrate, and performing
laser processing on the bottom of the semi-etching hole by adopting
laser to form an etching through hole. According to the manufacturing method disclosed by the invention,
laser whole-process
processing which is long in time consumption is optimized into a compound process of combining chemical etching rough
processing with laser finish processing, so that the
laser processing time of a single
screen printing plate is remarkably shortened; the manufacturing cost of a single
screen printing plate is reduced; and the process reliability and the pattern precision are high.
