Abstract

The invention relates to solar cell front sliver paste powder adaptable to high sheet resistance and shallow junction. The powder comprises, by weight percent, 50-75% of coarse sliver powder 2-5 micrometers in average particle size, 20-45% of fine sliver powder 0.5-2 micrometers in average particle size, 1-9% of glass powder, and 0.1-3% of additive. The components are added up to 100% by weight percent. Both the glass powder and the additive are in twin-peak particle size distribution. Compared with the prior art, the front sliver paste powder is optimized by powder gradation. The glass powder and the additive are proper in particle size. Voids between the coarse and fine sliver powders can be effectively filled with the glass powder and the additive. After sintering, silver islands are small and evenly distributed, can form fine orphic contacts and are fine in appearance. The glass powder has moderate activity and does not disrupt P-N junctions. The front sliver paste made from the powder is suitable for sintering on shallow-junction silicon cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic paste, in particular to a powder material for front silver paste of a solar cell suitable for high square resistance and shallow junction. Background technique [0002] A solar cell is a semiconductor device that converts solar energy into electricity. With the development of photovoltaic industry, high square resistance shallow junction has gradually become one of the development trends of solar cells. A silicon solar cell with a high square resistance shallow junction structure can reduce the recombination speed of minority carriers on the surface of the solar cell and improve the short-wave response, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. Achieving a high square resistance shallow junction of a solar cell generally requires that the front silver paste used to make solar cell electrodes has a high sintering temperature. When ordinary silver paste is used for sintering on silicon...
