Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of a patterned doped crystalline silicon thin film for a solar cell. The preparation method is characterized in that a patterned doped amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon thin film is prepared first by adopting a low-temperature vapor deposition technology, and then a patterned doped crystalline silicon thin film is acquired by adopting a method of rapid thermal processing. The preparation method provided by the invention can acquire richer pattern styles, and can regulate the thickness of the doped thin film, the variety of doping elements and the distribution of the doping concentration more conveniently, thereby providing space for further improving the structure and the process of crystalline silicon solar cell devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a solar cell material, in particular to a method for preparing a patterned doped crystalline silicon film for a solar cell. Background technique [0002] Solar power generation is one of the most important renewable and clean energy utilization methods for human beings. Among them, crystalline silicon solar cells have attracted widespread attention due to their abundant raw material sources and relatively mature preparation technologies, and are the mainstream product category of solar cells. [0003] The device structure of crystalline silicon solar cells has been continuously optimized and improved, from the simplest pn junction structure to various new structures such as selective emitter, selective back electric field, and back junction cells. Among the various structures mentioned above, the thin layer of doped silicon mainly depends on the high-temperature diffusion process. For example, the prepa...
