Problems solved by technology

[0002] The all-back-electrode battery launched by SunPower in the United States uses N-type silicon wafers, and the electrodes are all designed on the back of the battery to maximize the light-absorbing area on the front of the battery. The conversion efficiency of its mass production has reached about 23%, the highest in the laboratory. The efficiency reaches 24.2%, but SunPower's battery preparation process is complicated and costly, which has always been a bottleneck for mass production and promotion

Embodiment Construction

[0042] Such as Figures 1 to 14 Shown, a kind of production method of full back electrode solar cell has the following steps:

[0043] 1. Silicon wafer 1 is polished, and the etching thickness is 2-10um;

[0044] 2. Single-sided boron diffusion is performed on the silicon wafer 1 face to face, and a P+ layer 2 for forming a P-N junction is formed on the back of the silicon wafer 1, and the sheet resistance is 10-100ohm / Sq;

[0045] 3. Deposit SiNx or SiO2 or other texture mask layer 3 on the P+ layer 2 on the back side. The thickness of the texture mask layer 3 is 20-300nm, which can block the corrosion of the P+ layer 2 by the texture solution in the next step, and will not Destruction of the P-N junction;

[0046] 4. Single-sided texturing, the thickness of the texturing corrosion layer is 2-15um;

[0047] 5. The surface field before phosphorus diffusion preparation is 4, and the sheet resistance is 30-200ohm / Sq;

[0048] 6. Remove SiNx or SiO2 or other texture mask laye...

Abstract

The invention relates to a production method for full back electrode solar cells. The production method includes the steps: 1, performing single-surface boron diffusion to form a P+ layer on the back of an N-type silicon wafer; 2, depositing a texturing mask layer on the P+ layer; 3, performing single-surface texturing; 4, preparing a front surface field on the illuminated surface of the silicon wafer by phosphorus diffusion; 5, removing the texturing mask layer and PSG (phosphosilicate glass); 6, preparing an SiO2 mask layer by thermal oxide growth; 7, slotting in the area of a back surface field on the back of the silicon wafer, wherein the depth of each slot is not less than the junction depth of a P-N plus the depth of the back surface field together; 8, printing a phosphorous doping agent with the height less than the slot depth H minus the P-N junction depth at the bottom of the slotting area; 9, forming N+ layers at the bottom of the slots by the aid of high-temperature diffusion; 10, removing PSG and the SiO2 mask layer; 11, preparing a passive film on each of the front and the back; 12, performing screen printing for metal electrodes; and 13, sintering. The production method for the full back electrode solar cells has the advantages that cell efficiency is improved greatly while production cost is reduced by the aid of height difference of a P+ area and an N- area, namely a matrix N area, and suitability for large-scale production is achieved.
