[0053] The first doping type polysilicon layer 130 and the second doping type polysilicon layer 140 have opposite doping types. For example, the first doping type polysilicon layer 130 is P-type doped, and the second doping type polysilicon layer 140 is N-type doped. Alternatively, the first doping type polysilicon layer 130 is N-type doped, and the second doping type polysilicon layer 140 is P-type doped.

[0058] In some examples, the isolation trench 170 penetrates the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 and the tunnel oxide layer 120 to the single crystal silicon substrate 110 .

[0060] In some examples, the back contact solar cell 100 includes a front passivation anti-reflection layer 180 disposed on the second side of the single crystal silicon substrate 110. The material of the front passivation anti-reflection layer 180 can be, but is not limited to, aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, and the like.

[0061] In some examples, the back contact solar cell 100 includes a back passivation anti-reflection layer 190, which entirely covers the first doping type polysilicon layer 130, the second doping type polysilicon layer 140, the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150, and the groove wall of the isolation groove 170. The material of the back passivation anti-reflection layer 190 can be, but is not limited to, aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, and the like.

[0062] Optionally, the first electrode 161 and the second electrode 162 may be made of metal materials such as silver and aluminum.

[0063] The back contact solar cell 100 is provided with an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 between the first doping type polycrystalline silicon layer 130 and the second doping type polycrystalline silicon layer 140 on the back side to prevent the generation of leakage channels, and the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 can chemically passivate the single crystal silicon substrate 110, repair the interface dangling bonds, and eliminate the internal recombination center, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the battery. The back contact solar cell 100 is also provided with an isolation groove 170, which separates the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 into a first part 151 connected to the first doping type polycrystalline silicon layer 130 and a second part 152 connected to the second doping type polycrystalline silicon layer 140, which not only makes up for the interface defects of the single crystal silicon substrate 110 at this location, but also realizes the insulation of two different doping type media to prevent mutual conduction.

[0064] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the back-contact solar cell 100 according to any of the above examples.

[0065] A method for preparing a back contact solar cell 100 according to an embodiment includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S10 , forming a tunneling oxide layer 120 on one side of the single crystal silicon substrate 110 .

[0067] Step S20 , preparing a first doped type polysilicon layer 130 , a second doped type polysilicon layer 140 and an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 on the tunneling oxide layer 120 , wherein the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 is located between the first doped type polysilicon layer 130 and the second doped type polysilicon layer 140 .

[0068] In step S30 , an isolation trench 170 is formed. The isolation trench 170 separates the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 into a first portion 151 connected to the first doping type polysilicon layer 130 and a second portion 152 connected to the second doping type polysilicon layer 140 .

[0069] Step S40 , preparing a first electrode 161 connected to the first doping type polysilicon layer 130 .

[0070] Step S50 , preparing a second electrode 162 connected to the second doping type polysilicon layer 140 .

[0071] Before preparing the tunnel oxide layer 120 on the single crystal silicon substrate 110, the single crystal silicon substrate 110 is preferably chemically cleaned. Chemical cleaning, for example, uses an alkali solution, and chemical polishing is performed at 65° C. to 90° C. for a time of, for example, 180 seconds to 420 seconds. The alkali solution is, for example, KOH, NaOH, etc. Then, oxygen or nitrogen is introduced for high-temperature drying to obtain a double-sided polished single crystal silicon substrate 110.

[0072] Optionally, in step S10 , the tunnel oxide layer 120 may be prepared by, but is not limited to, high temperature oxidation, nitric acid oxidation, ozone oxidation, and the like.

[0073] In some examples, step S20 includes:

[0074] Step S21 , as shown in FIG. 2 , an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 is formed on the tunneling oxide layer 120 .

[0075] In step S22 , as shown in FIG. 3 , a first doping type paste 131 is disposed on the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 in the first region 111 , and a second doping type paste 141 is disposed on the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 in the second region 112 .

[0076] Step S23, as shown in Figure 4, the silicon wafer provided with the first doping type paste 131 and the second doping type paste 141 is treated with hydrogen plasma, so that the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 in the first area 111 is doped to form a first doping type polysilicon layer 130, and the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 in the second area 112 is doped to form a second doping type polysilicon layer 140, and the first doping type polysilicon layer 130 and the second doping type polysilicon layer 140 are separated by the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150.

[0077] Optionally, in step S21 , the preparation method of the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 may be but is not limited to low pressure chemical vapor deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, catalytic chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, hot wire vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, etc.

[0078] In some of the examples, in step S22 , the first doping type paste 131 and the second doping type paste 141 are printed using a mask having a specific stiffness and pattern.

[0079] In some examples, the first doping type paste 131 is phosphorus paste. The solid content of the phosphorus paste is 10% to 40%, and the viscosity is 20Pa to 50Pa. The width of the phosphorus paste is about 350μm to 650μm. The second doping type paste 141 is boron paste. The solid content of the boron paste is 10% to 50%, and the viscosity is 20PaPa to 50Pa. The width of the boron paste is 250μm to 450μm.

[0080] In some examples, in step S23, the radio frequency of the hydrogen plasma treatment is 30 mw / cm 2 ~80mw / cm 2 , for example, 30mw / cm 2 、40mw / cm 2 、50mw / cm 2 、60mw / cm 2 、70mw / cm 2 、80mw / cm 2 wait.

[0081] In some of the examples, in step S23 , the process pressure of the hydrogen plasma treatment is 0.9 Torr to 1.2 Torr, for example, 0.9 Torr, 1 Torr, 1.1 Torr, 1.2 Torr, etc.

[0082] In some of the examples, in step S23, the process temperature of the hydrogen plasma treatment is 300°C to 800°C, for example, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, 800°C, etc.

[0083] In some of the examples, in step S23, the process time of the hydrogen plasma treatment is 30s~180s, for example, 30s, 50s, 70s, 90s, 110s, 130s, 150s, 170s, etc.

[0084] After the hydrogen plasma treatment, the doping concentration of the first doping type polysilicon layer 130 is about 1×10 15 cm -3 The doping concentration of the second doping type polysilicon layer 140 is about 7×10 18 cm -3 .

[0085] In some examples, step S30 includes:

[0086] In step S31, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, an etching protection layer 200 is prepared on the first doping type polysilicon layer 130, the second doping type polysilicon layer 140 and the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150, and the etching protection layer 200 exposes the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 in the third region 113, and the third region 113 is located between the first region 111 and the second region 112.

[0087] In step S32 , as shown in FIG. 7 , the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 in the third region 113 is removed by etching to form an isolation trench 170 .

[0088] Optionally, the etching protection film may be, but is not limited to, silicon oxide (SiO x ), silicon oxynitride (SiO x N y ), borosilicate glass (BSG), etc. The thickness of the etching protection film is, for example, 2 nm to 50 nm.

[0089] Optionally, the preparation method of the etching protection film may be, but is not limited to, low pressure chemical vapor deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, catalytic chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, physical vapor deposition, and the like.

[0090] As shown in FIG6 , in step S31 , the etching protection film can be deposited on the entire surface and then laser treated to remove the portion on the third region 113 . The laser treatment uses, for example, a laser with a wavelength of 355 nm and a working power of 30 W to 80 W. The width of the laser treated region is, for example, 30 μm to 50 μm.

[0091] In step S32, an alkaline etching solution may be used to etch and remove the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 in the third region 113. The alkaline etching solution, for example, contains an alkali, an additive, and water in a volume ratio of 2:1:10. The alkali is, for example, NaOH, KOH, etc. The etching treatment time is, for example, 300s to 500s.

[0092] In some examples, in step S32, the tunnel oxide layer 120 in the third region 113 is further etched away to expose the single crystal silicon substrate 110. At this time, the alkaline etching solution increases the opening width by 2 μm to 5 μm based on the width of the laser-processed region, and finally retains an intrinsic polysilicon layer with a width of 70 μm to 150 μm.

[0093] In some of the examples, as shown in FIG8 , the method for preparing the back-contact solar cell 100 also includes the step of preparing a back-side passivation anti-reflection layer 190 , which entirely covers the first doped type polysilicon layer 130 , the second doped type polysilicon layer 140 , the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 , and the groove wall of the isolation groove 170 .

[0094] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 8 , the method for preparing the back-contact solar cell 100 further includes the step of preparing a front passivation anti-reflection layer 180 , where the front passivation anti-reflection layer 180 is disposed on the second side of the single crystal silicon substrate 110 .

[0095] In some examples, a layer of aluminum oxide with a thickness of about 3nm to 10nm is deposited on the front and back of the battery. The atomic layer passivation film can be deposited by one of PEALD, ALD, and PVD, and trimethylaluminum and H2O or trimethylaluminum and O3 can be used as the reaction gas. Then, a passivation anti-reflection film with a thickness of 70nm to 110nm and a refractive index of 2.0% to 2.4% is deposited on the front and back of the battery. The passivation anti-reflection film can be at least one of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and silicon oxynitride.

[0096] In step S40 and step S50 , the first electrode 161 and the second electrode 162 may be printed with silver paste, aluminum paste, etc. by a printing process, and then sintered at 700° C. to 900° C. to achieve metallization.

[0097] When preparing the emitter of the two heavily doped regions on the back, it is also necessary to avoid direct contact between the P region and the N region to prevent short circuits, so it is inevitable to require multiple steps of mask preparation and laser film opening processes. The above preparation method uses a printed doping slurry to achieve the accuracy of local doping on the back, and then undergoes hydrogen plasma treatment to effectively improve the passivation performance of the printed area; it also reduces the process steps and production costs, and is more conducive to large-scale production. The above preparation method sets an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 150 between the two types of emitters on the back, and only uses a laser process to open a groove, which not only compensates for the interface defects of the single crystal silicon substrate 110 at this location, but also achieves insulation between two different doping types of media to prevent mutual conduction.

[0098] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described.
