Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a solar cell and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Art
[0002] Currently, with the development of the photovoltaic industry, the need to reduce costs and improve efficiency has become increasingly urgent. The TBC battery product is one of the important solutions for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and mass production has been achieved. The TBC solar cell is a high-efficiency cell structure that combines the advantages of Topcon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) and IBC (Interdigitated Back Contact) cells. The general structure of the TBC cell includes: an N-type silicon substrate, and the back surface of the N-type silicon substrate includes alternately arranged P-type doped regions, isolation regions, and N-type doped regions. Among them, in the P-type doped region, a P-type doped layer, a tunneling oxide layer, and a P-type doped polysilicon layer (P + -Si / SiO2 / P + oly-Si structure) are sequentially arranged from the inside of the silicon substrate to the outside. A metal electrode is provided on the P-type doped polysilicon layer, and the metal electrode forms an ohmic contact with the P-type doped polysilicon layer. This P + -Si / SiO2 / P + oly-Si structure and the N-type silicon substrate constitute the PN junction of the battery.
[0003] Currently, one method for preparing the P + -Si / SiO2 / P + oly-Si structure is to sequentially prepare a tunneling oxide layer and an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer on the N-type silicon substrate, and then perform boron atom diffusion at a high temperature above 960 °C, so that boron atoms diffuse into the N-type silicon substrate to form the above-mentioned P-type doped layer, and the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is transformed into a P-type doped polysilicon layer.
[0004] The above preparation method has the following technical problems. When the doping concentration of the P-type doped layer is increased to improve the contact performance of the P + -Si / SiO2 / P + oly-Si structure, the doping concentration of the P-type doped polysilicon layer will also increase accordingly, resulting in a decrease in passivation performance.

[0048] Advantageous effects:
[0049] The preparation method of the solar cell in the first aspect of the present application employs two doping atom diffusion processes, including a first high-temperature diffusion and a second low-temperature diffusion. The first high-temperature diffusion forms pinhole channels (also known as Pinholes channels) in the first tunneling oxide layer. For the second diffusion, only at a lower temperature, the second doping atoms can enter the silicon substrate through the pre-formed Pinholes channels in the first tunneling oxide layer to form a second doping layer with a conductivity type opposite to that of the silicon substrate. Although the decrease in the diffusion temperature will reduce the concentration of the doping atoms diffused into the silicon substrate, the pre-formed Pinholes channels facilitate the diffusion into the silicon substrate, so the concentration of the doping atoms diffused into the silicon substrate will not decrease, and the finally formed second doping layer can still provide good contact performance. Considering the first doping layer formed by pre-diffusion when forming the first doped polysilicon layer for the first time, compared with the doping layer formed by only one diffusion in the prior art, it has a lower concentration and a shallower junction depth, and will not increase Auger recombination, so it will not affect the passivation performance. The decrease in the second diffusion temperature will reduce the doping concentration in the second doped polysilicon layer, thereby reducing parasitic absorption and increasing the current. As the concentration of the doping atoms in the second doped polysilicon layer decreases, the doping concentration near the first tunneling oxide layer will also decrease, and the recombination near the first tunneling oxide layer decreases, improving the passivation performance.
[0050] The solar cell provided in the second aspect of the present invention is prepared by the above preparation method, and this solar cell has both good contact performance and passivation performance. Description of the Drawings

Detailed implementation manners
[0058] Next, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 to 5 to the technical solutions of the present application.
[0059] The general structure of a TBC cell includes: an N-type silicon substrate, and the back surface of the N-type silicon substrate includes alternately arranged P-type doped regions, isolation regions, and N-type doped regions. Among them, in the P-type doped region, a P-type doping layer, a tunneling oxide layer, and a P-type doped polysilicon layer (P + -Si / SiO2 / P + -Poly-Si structure) are sequentially arranged from the inside of the silicon substrate to the outside. A metal electrode is arranged on the P-type doped polysilicon layer, and the metal electrode forms an ohmic contact with the P-type doped polysilicon layer. The inventor found through in-depth research that the contact and passivation performance of the P-type doped region of the TBC cell is determined by the boron atom doping concentration and junction depth in P + -Si, the boron atom doping concentration in the SiO2 layer, the density of pinholes in the SiO2 layer, and P +It is jointly determined by the doping concentration of boron atoms in poly-Si. Among them, the contact performance in a solar cell mainly refers to the contact quality between the metal electrode and the internal materials of the cell. The quality of the contact directly affects the output efficiency and lifespan of the cell. The contact resistance is a key parameter for measuring the contact quality, which reflects the transmission efficiency of current between the electrode and the semiconductor. The smaller the contact resistance, the smoother the current transmission, and the higher the output power and efficiency of the cell. Currently, to prepare P + -Si / SiO2 / P + One method for the Poly-Si structure is to sequentially prepare a tunneling oxide layer and an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer on an N-type silicon substrate, and then perform boron atom diffusion at a high temperature above 960 °C, so that boron atoms diffuse into the N-type silicon substrate to form the above-mentioned P-type doping layer, and the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is transformed into a P-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer. By the above one-step boron diffusion to form P + -Si / SiO2 / P + -Si / SiO2 / P + -Si, in order to improve the contact performance, it is necessary to appropriately increase the concentration of P + -Si is positively correlated with the density of pinholes. A high boron diffusion temperature increases the density of pinholes at the tunneling layer, thereby increasing the concentration of P + -Si, but the doping concentration of boron atoms in P + -Si will also increase, resulting in an increase in parasitic absorption and a decrease in current. And because the boron source will accumulate at the tunneling layer, the increase in the doping concentration at the tunneling layer increases the probability of recombination, resulting in a decline in passivation performance.
[0060] It can be seen that the above preparation method of the solar cell cannot simultaneously achieve a high doping concentration of P + -Si and a low doping concentration of P + -Si.
[0061] To solve the above technical problems, a first aspect of the present application provides a preparation method of a solar cell, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, this preparation method includes:
[0062] S10: Provide a silicon substrate 1, the silicon substrate 1 includes a light-receiving surface and a back surface arranged oppositely, and the silicon substrate 1 has first doping atoms of a first conductivity type;
[0063] S20: Form a first tunneling oxide layer 3 and an intrinsic polycrystalline silicon layer on the back surface, and diffuse second doping atoms of a second conductivity type into the silicon substrate 1 at a first temperature, form a first doping layer 2 of the second conductivity type on the side of the silicon substrate 1 close to the back surface, transform the intrinsic polycrystalline silicon layer into a first doped polycrystalline silicon layer 4 of the second conductivity type, and form pinhole channels in the first tunneling oxide layer 3; The first conductivity type and the second conductivity type have opposite electrical properties;
[0064] S30: Remove the first doped polysilicon layer 4;
[0065] S40: Grow an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer on the side of the first tunneling oxide layer 3 facing away from the silicon substrate 1, and diffuse second doping atoms of a second conductivity type into the silicon substrate 1 at a second temperature, so that the first doped layer is transformed into a second doped layer 5 of the second conductivity type, and the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is transformed into a second doped polysilicon layer 6 of the second conductivity type; the doping concentration of the second doped layer 5 is greater than the doping concentration of the first doped layer 2; the first temperature is greater than the second temperature.
[0066] In the method for preparing a solar cell provided by the embodiment of the present application, the silicon substrate 1 itself exhibits a first conductivity type due to the presence of first doping atoms. When the doping atoms are phosphorus, the silicon substrate 1 is of N type; when the doping atoms are boron, the silicon substrate 1 is of P type.
[0067] In the embodiments of the present application, two diffusion processes are adopted to diffuse doping atoms with the opposite conductivity type into the silicon substrate, including the first high-temperature diffusion and the second low-temperature diffusion. For example, for the N-type silicon substrate 1, boron diffusion is performed to form a P-type first doped layer 2 and a P-type first doped polysilicon layer; for the P-type silicon substrate 1, phosphorus diffusion is performed to form an N-type first doped layer 2 and an N-type first doped polysilicon layer. Among them, in step S20, the first tunneling oxide layer 3 and the intrinsic polysilicon layer are used as barriers to diffuse into the silicon substrate 1 to form the first doped layer 2. The first high-temperature diffusion forms pinhole channels (also called Pinholes channels) in the first tunneling oxide layer 3. For the second diffusion, only at a lower temperature, the doping source can enter the silicon substrate 1 through the Pinholes channels pre-formed in the first tunneling oxide layer 3 to form the second doped layer 5. Although the decrease in the diffusion temperature will reduce the concentration of the doping atoms diffused into the silicon substrate, the pre-formed Pinholes channels are conducive to diffusion (when diffusion is performed at a higher first temperature, the density of Pinholes formed in the first tunneling oxide layer is relatively high. On this basis, the diffusion at a lower second temperature will not significantly increase the density of Pinholes formed in the first tunneling oxide layer), so the concentration diffused into the silicon substrate will not decrease, and the finally formed second doped layer 5 can still provide good contact performance. Moreover, when the first high-temperature diffusion forms the first doped polysilicon layer 4, a pre-diffused first doped layer 2 is formed inside the silicon substrate 1. Compared with the doped layer directly diffused into the silicon substrate, it has a lower concentration and a shallower junction depth, and will not increase Auger recombination, so it will not affect the passivation performance. The decrease in the second diffusion temperature will reduce the doping concentration in the second doped polysilicon layer 6, thereby reducing parasitic absorption and increasing the current. As the doping atom concentration in the second doped polysilicon layer decreases, the doping concentration near the first tunneling oxide layer 3 will also decrease, and the recombination near the first tunneling oxide layer 3 will decrease, improving the passivation performance. In addition, when diffusion is performed, silicon glass containing doping atoms (such as phosphosilicate glass PSG or borosilicate glass BSG) will be generated. The decrease in the second diffusion temperature makes the formed silicon glass thinner, making it easier to remove the silicon glass by subsequent laser, and the laser power can be appropriately reduced to reduce the damage to the silicon wafer surface.
[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the difference ΔT between the first temperature and the second temperature can be 30°C to 50°C, such as 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, etc. The first temperature can be 900°C to 970°C, such as 905°C, 910°C, 915°C, 920°C, 925°C, 930°C, 935°C, 940°C, 945°C, 950°C, 955°C, 960°C, 965°C, etc. The second temperature can be 860°C to 910°C, such as 865°C, 870°C, 875°C, 880°C, 890°C, 895°C, 900°C, 905°C, 910°C, etc.
[0069] In the solar cell prepared by the method provided in the embodiments of the present application, for the case where the N-type silicon substrate and the second doping atom is a boron atom, in the second doping layer formed by diffusion inside the silicon substrate 1, the active doping concentration of boron atoms can be 3×10 18 ~1×10 20 atoms / cm 3 , for example, 4×10 18 atoms / cm 3 , 5×10 18 atoms / cm 3 , 6×10 18 atoms / cm 3 , 8×10 18 atoms / cm 3 , 1×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 2×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 4×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 5×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 6×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 8×10 19 atoms / cm 3 etc., and further can be 3×10 18 ~6×10 18 atoms / cm 3 . The junction depth can be 0.2 μm to 0.4 μm, such as 0.25 μm, 0.30 μm, 0.35 μm, etc. The active doping concentration of boron atoms in the second doped polysilicon layer 6 can be 3×10 19 ~1×10 20 atoms / cm 3 , for example, 4×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 5×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 6×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 7×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 8×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , 9×10 19 atoms / cm 3 etc.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, in step S10, the silicon substrate is obtained by subjecting a single-crystal silicon wafer to double-sided texturing and polishing, and both the light-receiving surface and the back surface are polished surfaces. The resistivity of the single-crystal silicon wafer can be 0.5 - 2 Ω, and the thickness can be 50 - 300 μm. In step S20, a first tunneling oxide layer and an intrinsic polysilicon layer are grown on the two polished surfaces, and the diffusion at the first temperature can also be performed simultaneously on both sides of the silicon substrate 1. Then, after completing step S20, a structure of a first doped layer 2 / a first tunneling oxide layer 3 / a first doped polysilicon layer 4 is formed simultaneously on both sides of the silicon substrate 1. Moreover, a silicon glass layer with a second doped atom will be formed on the surface of the first doped polysilicon layer 6. For example, when boron diffusion is performed, boron silicate glass BSG is formed, and when phosphorus diffusion is performed, phosphosilicate glass PSG is formed.
[0071] In step S20, the first tunneling oxide layer and the intrinsic polysilicon layer can be grown by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). Among them, the first tunneling oxide layer 3 can be a silicon oxide layer, and its thickness can be 1.2 nm - 1.8 nm (such as 1.3 nm, 1.4 nm, 1.5 nm, 1.6 nm, 1.7 nm, etc.), and the thickness of the intrinsic polysilicon layer can be 100 nm - 250 nm (such as 120 nm, 140 nm, 150 nm, 160 nm, 180 nm, 200 nm, 220 nm, 240 nm, etc.). For the case of an N-type silicon substrate and the second doped atom being a boron atom, the active doping concentration of boron atoms in the first doped layer 2 formed in step S20 can be 5×10 17 ~3×10 18 atoms / cm 3 (such as 6×10 17 atoms / cm 3 、7×10 17 atoms / cm 3 、8×10 17 atoms / cm 3 、9×10 17 atoms / cm 3 、10 18 atoms / cm 3 、2×10 18 atoms / cm 3 etc.), and the junction depth can be 0.1 μm - 0.3 μm (such as 0.12 μm, 0.14 μm, 0.15 μm, 0.16 μm, 0.18 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.22 μm, 0.24 μm, 0.25 μm, 0.26 μm, 0.28 μm, etc.).
[0072] Further, in step S30, before removing the first doped polysilicon layer 4, the above-mentioned silicon glass layer needs to be removed first. The silicon glass layer can be removed by an acidic cleaning solution (such as hydrofluoric acid) first, and then the first doped polysilicon layer 4 can be removed by an alkaline cleaning solution (such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide solution).
[0073] Further, in step S40, an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer α-Si is grown by the LPCVD method. The thickness of the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer α-Si can be 150 nm to 300 nm (such as 160 nm, 180 nm, 200 nm, 220 nm, 240 nm, 250 nm, 260 nm, 280 nm, etc.). The intrinsic amorphous silicon layer can be grown only on the back surface of the silicon substrate 1, or on both sides of the silicon substrate 1. After the second diffusion, a silicon glass layer containing a second doped atom (such as borosilicate glass BSG7) is also formed on the second doped polysilicon layer 6. It can be understood that amorphous silicon is transformed into polysilicon during the diffusion process.
[0074] For a TBC cell, generally, a first conductive type region and a second conductive type region are alternately defined on the back surface of the silicon substrate 1, and an isolation region is also provided between adjacent first conductive type regions and second conductive type regions. For an N-type silicon substrate, the first conductive type region is the N-type region, and the second conductive type region is the P-type region. For a P-type silicon substrate, the first conductive type region is the P-type region, and the second conductive type region is the N-type region.
[0075] After the above steps 10 to 40, a structure of a second doped layer 5 / first tunneling oxide layer 3 / second doped polysilicon layer 6 is formed on the entire back surface of the silicon substrate 1. For a TBC cell, the structure of the second doped layer 5 / first tunneling oxide layer 3 / second doped polysilicon layer 7 serves as the emitter 21 of the TBC cell and is correspondingly disposed in the second conductive type region. It is necessary to further remove the structure of the second doped layer 5 / first tunneling oxide layer 3 / second doped polysilicon layer 7 corresponding to the first conductive type region and the isolation region, and form a third doped layer 8 of the first conductive type, a second tunneling oxide layer 9, and a third doped polysilicon layer 10 of the first conductive type on the first conductive type region.
[0076] Specifically, it is realized through the following steps.
[0077] Step S50: Remove the second doped layer 5, the first tunneling oxide layer 3, and the second doped polysilicon layer 6 corresponding to the first conductive type region on the back surface of the silicon substrate 1.
[0078] As described above, a silicon glass layer is further formed on the second doped polysilicon layer 6. First, the silicon glass layer at the corresponding positions of the first conductive type region and the isolation region is removed by laser (the first laser), and then the silicon glass layer on the light-receiving surface is removed by an acidic cleaning solution (such as hydrofluoric acid). Then, the second doped layer 5, the first tunneling oxide layer 3, and the second doped polysilicon layer 6 corresponding to the first conductive type region near the light-receiving surface and the back surface are removed by an alkaline cleaning solution (such as sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution) and an acidic cleaning solution (such as hydrofluoric acid).
[0079] Step S60: A third doped layer 8 of the first conductive type, a second tunneling oxide layer 9, and a third doped polysilicon layer 10 of the first conductive type are sequentially formed on the first conductive type region on the back surface of the silicon substrate.
[0080] The second tunneling oxide layer 9 and the intrinsic polysilicon layer (or intrinsic amorphous silicon layer) can be grown on the surface of the silicon substrate 1 by LPCVD method. Then, the doping atoms of the first conductive type diffuse, and the third doped layer 8 is formed at the position corresponding to the first conductive type region inside the silicon substrate 1, and the third doped polysilicon layer 10 is formed on the second tunneling oxide layer 9. A silicon glass layer containing the first doping atoms is further formed on the third doped polysilicon layer 10. And it can be understood that the third doped layer 8 / the second tunneling oxide layer 9 / the third doped polysilicon 10 / the silicon glass layer containing the first doping atoms are also formed on the light-receiving surface of the silicon substrate 1. And the above structure is also formed on the silicon glass layer containing the second doping atoms formed on the second conductive type region on the back surface and the surface of the isolation region before.
[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the second tunneling oxide layer 9 can be 1.2 - 1.8 nm, such as 1.3 nm, 1.4 nm, 1.5 nm, 1.6 nm, 1.7 nm, etc. The thickness of the third doped polysilicon layer 10 can be 150 - 300 nm, such as 160 nm, 180 nm, 200 nm, 220 nm, 240 nm, 250 nm, 260 nm, 280 nm, etc.
[0082] Step S70: A textured structure is formed on the surfaces of the light-receiving surface and the back surface isolation region of the silicon substrate 1.
[0083] Specifically, the silicon glass layer on the second-conductivity-type region and the isolation region on the back surface is removed by a second laser, and the silicon glass layer containing the first doped atoms on the light-receiving surface is removed by an acidic cleaning solution (such as hydrofluoric acid); then, the second tunneling oxide layer 9 and the third doped polysilicon layer 10 corresponding to the light-receiving surface, the second-conductivity-type region, and the isolation region on the back surface, and the third doped layer 8 on the light-receiving surface and the isolation region are removed by an alkaline cleaning solution (such as sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution) and an acidic cleaning solution (such as hydrofluoric acid). Then, texturing is performed to make the surface of the silicon substrate 1 exposed on the light-receiving surface and the isolation region have a textured structure.
[0084] It can be understood that during texturing, the second doped polysilicon layer 6 is protected by the silicon glass layer containing the second doped atoms, and the third doped polysilicon layer 8 is protected by the silicon glass layer containing the first doped atoms. Only the surfaces of the isolation region on the back surface and the light-receiving surface are exposed. After texturing, the silicon glass layer containing the first doped atoms and the silicon glass layer containing the second doped atoms located on the back surface are removed by using an acidic cleaning solution (such as hydrofluoric acid solution).
[0085] Step S80: A front surface passivation and antireflection layer 12 and a back surface passivation and antireflection layer 11 are respectively formed on the light-receiving surface and the back surface. A first electrode 13 is formed at a position corresponding to the first-conductivity-type region on the back surface passivation and antireflection layer 11, and a second electrode 14 is formed at a position corresponding to the second-conductivity-type region on the back surface passivation and antireflection layer 11.
[0086] The passivation and antireflection layer can be a stacked structure of aluminum oxide Al2O3 and silicon nitride SiN x and the aluminum oxide layer is disposed on the surface of the doped polysilicon layer and the surface of the silicon substrate in the isolation region, that is, between the silicon substrate 1 and the silicon nitride layer. The first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 can be formed by screen-printing a paste and sintering. The first electrode 13 makes an ohmic contact with the third doped polysilicon layer 10, and the second electrode 14 makes an ohmic contact with the second doped polysilicon layer 6.
[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, the structure of the doped layer / tunneling oxide layer / doped polysilicon on the first-conductivity-type region and the second-conductivity-type region on the back surface is established on the polished surface. The size of the base of the tower on the polished surface can be 5 - 30 μm, such as 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, etc. The base size within this range can enable the silicon substrate to have better light absorption ability, which helps to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency. The base is a rectangular plane formed after the textured surface is polished. When the base size exceeds 30 microns, the surface of the cell is very flat, and it can be considered almost a plane with very small roughness.
[0088] In these embodiments, the silicon wafer is polished to form a tower base structure. Looking down at the silicon wafer and seeing each tower base as a rectangle under magnification, the size of the tower base refers to the shortest straight-line distance between two opposite sides of the rectangle.

[0098] Optionally, the solar cell according to an embodiment of the present application may further include: a doping layer (third doping layer 8) of a first conductivity type provided on the back surface of the silicon substrate 1 in a first conductivity type region, a second tunneling oxide layer 9, and a doped polysilicon layer of a first conductivity type (third doped polysilicon layer 10).
[0099] Optionally, the surface of the isolation region is a matte surface, and the surfaces of the first conductivity type region and the second conductivity type region are polished surfaces having a tower base structure. The size of the tower base structure may be 5 - 30 μm.

In this solar cell, the second doping layer 5 located in the silicon substrate 1 has a relatively high doping concentration, thereby providing good contact performance; at the same time, the second doped polysilicon layer 6 has a relatively low doping concentration, which can reduce parasitic absorption and increase the current of the solar cell. And as the doping concentration in the second doped polysilicon layer 6 decreases, the doping concentration near the first tunneling oxide layer 3 also decreases, the recombination near the first tunneling oxide layer 3 decreases, and the passivation performance is improved.
[0106] Taking an N-type silicon substrate as an example, the preparation method and the prepared solar cell provided by the embodiment of the present application will be further described in detail below.
[0107]
Example 1
[0108] Step S10: A N-type silicon wafer with a resistivity of 1.2 Ωcm and a thickness of 150 μm is textured and polished to obtain a silicon substrate 1. The silicon substrate 1 includes a light-receiving surface and a back surface that are oppositely arranged and are both polished surfaces, and the polished surfaces have pyramid bases with a size of 18 μm.
[0109] Step S20: Subsequently, the polished silicon wafer is loaded into an LPCVD quartz boat, and a first tunneling oxide layer 3 with a thickness of 1.6 nm and an intrinsic polysilicon layer i-Poly-Si with a thickness of 250 nm are grown on the polished surface. Then, boron diffusion is performed at a high temperature of 950 °C to form an internally diffused P + 1-Si region (P + 1-Si region, i.e., the first doped layer 2), and the intrinsic polysilicon layer i-Poly-Si is transformed into a first P-type doped polysilicon layer P + 1Poly-Si (the first P-type doped polysilicon layer P + 1Poly-Si, i.e., the first doped polysilicon layer 4), and the active doping concentration of boron atoms in the P + 1-Si region is 1×10 18 atoms / cm 3 .
[0110] As Figure 1 shown, in step S20, a first tunneling oxide layer SiO 2-1 and an intrinsic polysilicon layer i-Poly-Si are grown on the two polished surfaces. After completing step S20, boron sources are internally diffused on the side of the silicon substrate close to the back surface and the side close to the light-receiving surface to form a P + 1-Si region.
[0111] Step S30: Remove the borosilicate glass BSG7 and the first P-type doped polysilicon layer P + 1Poly-Si on the light-receiving surface and the back surface of the silicon substrate by alkali cleaning. As Figure 2 shown, after completing step S30, the boron sources on the side of the silicon substrate close to the back surface and the side close to the light-receiving surface have a P + 1-Si region, and the first tunneling oxide layer SiO 2-1 is retained on both the back surface and the light-receiving surface.
[0112] Step S40: Grow a 250-nm amorphous silicon layer α-Si on the side of the first tunneling oxide layer SiO 2-1 3 facing away from the silicon substrate by LPCVD. Then, boron diffusion is performed at a low temperature of 890 °C to form a second P-type doped polysilicon layer P 2-1 2Poly-Si (the second doped polysilicon layer 6) on the side of the first tunneling oxide layer SiO + 3 facing away from the silicon substrate, and activate the second P-type doped polysilicon layer P + 2Poly-Si. The second P-type doped polysilicon layer P+ The active doping concentration of boron atoms in 2Poly-Si is 6×10 19 atoms / cm 3 , and the boron source enters the silicon substrate 1 through the Pinholes channels pre-formed in SiO 2-1 . At this time, the inward diffusion forms a P + 2-Si region (the second doping layer 5). The active doping concentration of boron atoms in the P + 2-Si region is 5×10 18 atoms / cm 3 , and the junction depth is 0.3μm, as Figure 3 shown.
[0113] In this step, when heating up to the preset boron diffusion temperature stage before the second boron diffusion, the amorphous silicon layer α-Si will crystallize to form a polysilicon layer.
[0114] Step S50: In the preset N region, that is, the region where the N-type doped polysilicon layer N + Poly-Si (the third doped polysilicon layer 10) needs to be prepared. Remove the BSG on the front side by the first laser, and remove the boron silicate glass BSG 7 on the light-receiving surface on the front side by single-sided etching. Then, wash away the P + 2-Si region, the first tunneling oxide layer SiO 2-1 and the second P-type doped polysilicon layer P + 2Poly-Si in the light-receiving surface and the preset N region by alkaline polishing.
[0115] In these embodiments, during the process from step S10 to step S40, the light-receiving surface (front side) and the back side of the silicon substrate have a symmetric layer structure, and the layer structure on the front side is removed in step S50.
[0116] Step S60: Use LPCVD and a diffusion furnace to prepare an N + -Si / SiO 2-2 / N + Poly-Si structure. The N + -Si / SiO 2-2 / N + Poly-Si structure includes an N + -Si region 8 near the back side of the silicon substrate 1, the second tunneling oxide layer SiO 2-2 on the back side, and the N-type doped polysilicon layer N + Poly-Si 10. The thickness of the second tunneling oxide layer SiO 2-2 9 is 1.4nm, and the thickness of the N-type doped polysilicon layer N + Poly-Si10 is 200nm.
[0117] Step S70: Remove the phosphosilicate glass (PSG) in the spacer between the P region and the N region and the PSG in the P region through a second laser. Remove the PSG on the front side by single-sided etching, and then perform texturing. After the textured surfaces are formed on the light-receiving surface of the silicon substrate and the exposed backside portion of the silicon substrate in the spacer region, use an HF bath to remove the PSG and borosilicate glass (BSG7) on the backside.
[0118] The laser removes the PSG on the surface of the P region on the backside of the cell, as well as the PSG on the surface of the spacer between the P region and the N region. The single-sided etching removes the PSG on the front side (referred to as the light-receiving surface) of the cell. The light-receiving surface of the cell (the surface exposed to sunlight) generally needs to be textured to achieve an antireflection effect.
[0119] In addition, during texturing, the P region on the backside is protected by BSG, and the N region is protected by PSG. Therefore, only the light-receiving surface (front side) and the spacer region on the backside will form textured surfaces.
[0120] Step S80: Finally, deposit 5 nm of Al2O3 and 75 nm of SiN on the light-receiving surface and the backside of the silicon substrate x 、screen printing, sintering, and light injection to obtain the TBC cell structure as Figure 4 shown.
[0121]
Comparative Example 1
[0122] In Comparative Example 1, there is only one boron diffusion step, and the boron diffusion temperature is relatively high.
[0123] The differences from the embodiment are in steps S20, S30, and S40. Comparative Example 1 does not have steps S20 and S30, and for step S40: it is necessary to prepare a tunneling oxide layer and an amorphous silicon layer (α-Si) by LPCVD method, and perform boron diffusion at a temperature above 960 °C. In Comparative Example 1, the concentration of the P-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer P + Poly-Si and the doping concentration at the tunneling oxide layer are both higher than those in Example 1, and the BSG thickness and the doping concentration in the BSG are also higher than those in Example 1.
[0124] Table 1: Comparative table of the electrical performance data of the TBC back-contact solar cells in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1
[0125] Isc (A) Voc (V) FF (%) Eta (%) Example 1 14.2573 0.7335 78.7241 24.8566 Comparative Example 1 14.2436 0.7323 78.5685 24.7431
[0126] As shown in Table 1, the rated capacity Eta, fill factor FF, open-circuit voltage Voc, and short-circuit current Isc of the TBC battery obtained in Example 1 are respectively higher than those of the TBC battery obtained in Comparative Example 1. A high Eta value indicates that the device can provide a higher power output under standard operating conditions, which usually means that the device is more efficient and can provide more energy under the same conditions. The fill factor is an important parameter for measuring the performance of a solar cell, representing the ratio of the photocurrent and voltage corresponding to the maximum power point to the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current. The higher the FF value, the higher the efficiency of the solar cell, the smaller the energy loss, and the better the overall performance. The open-circuit voltage is the voltage value of the solar cell in the open-circuit state. A high Voc value indicates that the solar cell can provide a larger voltage under the same light conditions, which is beneficial to improving the energy conversion efficiency of the battery. A high Voc value means that the battery can output a higher voltage under light conditions, thereby improving the overall energy conversion efficiency. The short-circuit current is the current value of the solar cell in the short-circuit state. A high Isc value indicates that the battery can provide a larger current under the same light conditions, which is of great significance for improving the overall output power of the solar cell. A high Isc value means that the battery can output more current under light conditions, thereby improving the overall energy conversion efficiency. Thus, the battery prepared by the method for preparing a solar cell of the present application has both good passivation performance and contact performance, and the conversion efficiency of the battery is further improved.
