Embodiment Construction

[0024] A solar cell manufacturing process combining two-time screen printing and grooving for manufacturing such as figure 1 A solar cell with twice printed electrodes is shown. The solar cell has a silicon wafer, and the silicon wafer adopts a P-type substrate 6. The surface of the silicon wafer is divided into an electrode grid line area and an electrode non-grid line area. The solar cell manufacturing process has the following step:

[0025] i) removing the damaged surface layer of the silicon wafer and texturizing the surface of the silicon wafer;

[0026] ii) Oxidation mask layer process: grow an oxide mask layer under the condition of trichloroethane (TCA);

[0027] iii) Grooving process: laser grooves are made in the electrode grid line area of ​​the front electrode on the surface of the silicon wafer, so that the electrode grid line area of ​​​​the front electrode forms an etching groove, and the oxide mask layer above the etching groove is removed;

[0028] iv) Clea...

Abstract

The invention discloses a process for manufacturing a solar cell by twice screen printing and grooving, which is used for manufacturing the solar cell by twice electrode printing and comprises a grooving process and a twice printing process, wherein the grooving process comprises the step of performing grooving on an electrode grid line area on the surface of a silicon wafer so as to form an etched groove in the electrode grid line area; and the twice printing process comprises the following steps of: a, primary electrode printing, namely, filling printing electrode paste into the etched groove and performing drying to form a first layer of electrode in the etched groove; and b, secondary electrode printing, namely, printing the electrode on the outer surface of the first layer of electrode so as to form a second layer of electrode in the electrode grid line area on the surface of the silicon wafer. The solar cell manufactured by the method has relatively lower series resistance, a selective emitter and relatively higher conversion efficiency, and can reduce shading loss; and the electrode paste is difficult to spread in a sintering process.

Description
