Problems solved by technology

[0011] A disadvantage of all these devices is that their fabrication requires two separate steps of depositing the amorphous silicon, for example using a mask in each step, or first depositing one amorphous silicon and then etching the already deposited amorphous silicon before depositing the other. deposited amorphous silicon

Embodiment Construction

[0061] In the following description, the invention will be described in more detail without limitation with reference to photovoltaic applications of the invention.

[0062] see figure 1 , the semiconductor device according to the present invention can be fabricated as follows.

[0063] First, a crystalline semiconductor substrate 1 having a front surface 1a and a back surface 1b is provided. Preferably, the crystalline semiconductor substrate 1 is a crystal, especially a monocrystalline or polycrystalline (preferably monocrystalline) silicon substrate (or wafer) in the form of a wafer.

[0064] The substrate can be doped n-type or p-type. The use of n-type doped substrates is particularly advantageous due to their longer lifetime. In the following, an n-type doped substrate is taken as an example. Advantageously, the substrate 1 does not have any oxide material.

[0065] Preferably, the substrate 1 has sufficient doping to have a resistivity between about 0.1 and 1 Ω·cm....

Abstract

The invention relates to a semiconductor device comprising: a crystalline semiconductor substrate (1) having a front face (1a) and a rear face (1b); a front passivation layer (3) placed on the front face (1a) of the substrate (1); a rear passivation layer (2) placed on the rear face (1b) of the substrate (1); a first metallization zone (10) placed on the rear passivation layer (2) and designed for collecting electrons; a second metallization zone designed for collecting holes, comprising: a surface portion (11) placed on the rear passivation layer (2); and an internal portion (12) passing through the rear passivation layer (2) and forming, in the substrate (1), a region in which the concentration of electron acceptors is greater than the rest of the substrate (1). The invention also relates to a module of photovoltaic cells using this device and to a process for manufacturing this device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a back contact heterojunction photovoltaic cell, and also relates to a manufacturing process of the back contact heterojunction photovoltaic cell. Background technique [0002] As currently known, a photovoltaic module comprises a plurality of photovoltaic cells (or solar cells) connected in series and / or in parallel. Photovoltaic cells are semiconductor diodes designed to absorb light energy and convert it into electricity. The semiconductor diode comprises a p-n junction between two layers, p-type doped silicon and n-type doped silicon, respectively. During the formation of this junction, a potential difference (and thus a local electric field) arises due to the excess of free electrons in the n-layer and due to the scarcity of free electrons in the p-layer. [0003] When photons are absorbed by the semiconductor, they release their energy to generate free electrons and holes. Considering the potential difference p...
