Heterojunction solar cell and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a heterojunction solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. A metal film is formed on the surface of a p-type amorphous silicon film on a backlight face, and a back metal electrode is formed on the surface of the metal film. Since work function of the metal film is higher than that of the p-type amorphous silicon film, or a metallic compound is formed on an interface to form a barrier layer or a tunneling layer on the interface, the metal film/p-type amorphous silicon interface is in ohmic contact and pretty low in interface resistance, and compared with a traditional P-type amorphous silicon/TCO (transparent conductive oxide)interface structure, the metal film/p-type amorphous silicon interface has the advantages that high contact resistance between a TCO and the p-type amorphous silicon film is avoided while fill factor of the cell can be increased beneficially. In addition, due to the fact that the solar cell is in an inversion structure, light absorption of the metal film is avoided, and accordingly restriction on short-circuit current of the cell due to light absorption of the metal film is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a heterojunction solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] As the cost ratio of solar cell BOS (Balance of System Components) increases, it becomes particularly important to improve cell conversion efficiency. The crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell is considered to be the most competitive high-efficiency solar cell because of its low temperature preparation, low temperature coefficient and high conversion efficiency. [0003] The crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell is composed of a variety of film layers, and there are various heterogeneous material interfaces between the various film layers, such as p-type amorphous silicon / TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide, transparent conductive oxide), TCO / Ag and p-type amorphous silicon / i-type intrinsic amorphous silicon interfaces, these heterogeneous material interfaces affect t...
