[0099] In step S5, the silicon wafer is sent into a phosphorus diffusion furnace for double-sided phosphorus doping, wherein the flow rate of POCl3 is 1600sccm, the flow rate of O2 is 600sccm, the diffusion time is 35min, and the diffusion temperature is 840°C; the thickness of the second tunneling oxide layer formed is 1.2nm, the thickness of the phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer is 200nm, and the doping concentration of phosphorus diffusion is 3.5E20cm -3 .

[0100] The performance of the TBC solar cells prepared in Examples 1 to 3 was tested using a Halm tester to measure the open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current density (Jsc), fill factor (FF) and conversion efficiency (Eta). All test results are shown in Table 1.
