Problems solved by technology

[0002] Exploring new materials and new structures that can maximize the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells and reduce costs is of great significance to the application and development of solar cells. The usual silicon solar cell is a planar structure, that is, the PN junction is a plane, and the front side is distributed with gates. The wire electrode is equipped with a backplane electrode on the reverse side. In a cell of a specified size, such as a 156 cell, the PN junction area is constant.

Abstract

The invention discloses a three-dimensional PN junction processing technology for a solar battery cell. The surface of a blank silicon wafer is manufactured to be provided with rectangular grooves, trapezoidal grooves or other specially-shaped grooves scaled from dozens of micron to hundreds of microns through the dry etching process. According to the technical scheme of the invention, for a battery cell of a given size, such as a 156 type battery cell, the area of a PN junction on the battery cell is constant. In the depth direction of the silicon wafer, a deep groove of a certain depth and a certain width and scaled from dozens of micron to hundreds of microns is formed. In this way, the PN junction is converted from being planar into being serpentine. In the geometric dimensioning view, the area of the PN junction might be increased by tens of percentages or even doubled. That means, the silicon material is fully utilized to be applied to a photoelectric conversion interface.
