Problems solved by technology

However, passivation contact materials such as silicon oxide and aluminum oxide have poor matching between their own energy bands and silicon wafers. During use, it is necessary to ensure that the thickness of the material is thin enough to achieve the tunneling effect of carriers and realize the effective transport of carriers.
Therefore, for passivation contact materials such as silicon oxide and aluminum oxide, the process window is extremely narrow, which brings great difficulty to the preparation of subsequent cells.

Abstract

The invention relates to an ultrathin silicon solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The ultrathin silicon solar cell employs a random nanometer inverted pyramid as a surface anti-reflection structure, a titanium oxide thin film deposited by an atomic layer and a TCO thin film modified by low-work function ultrathin metal are respectively used as an electron transmission layer and an upper electrode, and a back field with small thermal stress and an back electrode is built through depositing a metal aluminum thin film by magnetron sputtering and combining subsequent low-temperature annealing. The ultrathin silicon solar cell has the advantages that the cell structure is simple, and no warping phenomenon is generated; and compared with a traditional high-temperature thermal diffusionprocess, the low-temperature process has the advantages that the operation difficulty of cell preparation can be greatly reduced, the debris rate of the cell is reduced, and the low-temperature process is an ultrathin crystal silicon battery preparation technology having potential application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ultra-thin crystalline silicon solar cell and a preparation method thereof, which belongs to the field of semiconductor devices and also relates to the field of solar cells. Background technique [0002] At present, hard crystalline silicon solar cells with a thickness of 160-200 μm dominate the photovoltaic market due to their advantages of high efficiency and stability, but the price of power generation is more expensive than ordinary power generation, which is still a bottleneck restricting its further market promotion. For hard crystalline silicon solar cells, crystalline silicon material accounts for at least 25% of the cost. Therefore, by reducing the amount of silicon used (the thickness of the silicon wafer is reduced to less than 50 μm), the power generation cost per watt of the crystalline silicon cell module can be greatly reduced, and its market competitiveness can be improved. In addition, ultra-thin crystallin...
