This disclosure relates to the field of
solar cell manufacturing technology, and discloses a method for fabricating a
solar cell and the
solar cell itself. The fabrication method includes: providing a substrate layer with a first textured surface; forming an anti-reflection
passivation layer on the surface of the substrate layer, the anti-reflection
passivation layer conformally covering the first textured surface;
laser-treating the anti-reflection
passivation layer to form a second textured surface, the second textured surface including multiple micro-recesses; and forming a repair passivation layer on the
laser-treated surface of the anti-reflection passivation layer to repair
laser damage introduced by the
laser treatment, the repair passivation layer conformally covering the second textured surface. This disclosure can ensure the passivation effect of the
cell while improving the light-
trapping effect of the
cell surface.
