Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic cells, and in particular to a boron diffusion method for a TBC cell, a preparation method for the TBC cell, and the TBC cell. Background Art
[0002] The N-type Tunneling Oxide Passivated Contact (TBC) cell combines the structural advantages of the Thin Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) cell and the Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) cell, achieving the advantages of an unobstructed front surface, high open-circuit voltage, and large short-circuit current. The typical fabrication process for a conventional TBC cell includes double-sided polishing of the silicon wafer, deposition of the tunneling oxide layer and intrinsic polysilicon layer, boron diffusion to form a boron diffusion layer and a BSG layer, a single laser treatment, wet processing, deposition of the tunneling oxide layer and intrinsic polysilicon layer, phosphorus diffusion to form a phosphorus diffusion layer and a PSG layer, a second laser treatment, de-wrap plating, wet processing, coating, screen printing, and sintering.
[0003] As a high-efficiency back-contact structured cell, the boron diffusion process of the TBC cell is crucial to its performance. Boron diffusion is used to form a P-type doped region in the N-type silicon substrate, thereby constructing a PN junction. The quality of this junction directly affects the cell's open-circuit voltage (Voc) and fill factor (FF), which in turn determines the photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, the main problems faced by boron diffusion include the conflict between the boron-rich layer (BRL) and borosilicate glass (BSG). The BSG grown by boron diffusion needs to withstand wet acid and alkali corrosion to protect the integrity of the P-region P-poly film layer, so the BSG needs to maintain a certain thickness. However, while maintaining the BSG thickness, the BRL (boron-rich layer) on the silicon surface is difficult to control, resulting in high doping concentration, aggravated Auger recombination, reduced opening voltage, and reduced cell conversion efficiency.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] One objective of the present invention is to provide a boron diffusion method for TBC batteries.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0094] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a boron diffusion method for a TBC battery, the boron diffusion method for a TBC battery comprising:
[0095] The back side of the silicon substrate is subjected to sequential pre-oxidation with a gradient temperature increase and boron diffusion with intermittent oxygen flow to obtain a silicon substrate with a BSG layer;
[0096] The gradient temperature-increasing pre-oxidation includes at least five stages of heat-insulating pre-oxidation, and the temperature increase range between two adjacent stages is 5 to 15°C.
[0097] In the present invention, a dense layered pre-oxidation layer is first formed by setting at least 5 stages of heat preservation pre-oxidation, and then intermittent oxygen diffusion is set during the deposition of boron diffusion to block the rapid diffusion of boron atoms, inhibit interface boron accumulation, reduce the BRL (boron rich layer) concentration, reduce Auger recombination, increase the opening voltage, and improve the battery conversion efficiency.
[0098] As an optional embodiment, the gradient temperature pre-oxidation includes at least 5 stages of heat preservation pre-oxidation, for example, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc.
[0099] As an optional embodiment, the temperature rise range of the two adjacent stages is 5 to 15°C, for example, 5°C, 6°C, 7°C, 8°C, 9°C, 10°C, 11°C, 12°C, 13°C, 14°C, 15°C, etc.
[0100] As an optional embodiment, the silicon substrate includes an N-type crystalline silicon substrate, and the back surface of the N-type crystalline silicon substrate includes a tunneling oxide layer and an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer stacked in sequence.
[0101] As an optional embodiment, the thickness of the tunnel oxide layer is 1.0 to 2.5 nm, for example, it can be 1.0 nm, 1.2 nm, 1.4 nm, 1.6 nm, 1.8 nm, 2.0 nm, 2.1 nm, 2.2 nm, 2.3 nm, 2.4 nm, 2.5 nm, etc.
[0102] As an optional embodiment, the thickness of the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is 200 to 400 nm, for example, it can be 20 nm, 22 nm, 24 nm, 25 nm, 26 nm, 28 nm, 30 nm, 32 nm, 34 nm, 36 nm, 38 nm, 40 nm, etc.
[0103] As an optional embodiment, the pre-oxidation temperature range is 820-880°C, for example, it can be 820°C, 825°C, 830°C, 835°C, 840°C, 845°C, 850°C, 855°C, 860°C, 865°C, 870°C, 875°C, 880°C, etc.
[0104] As a preferred embodiment, the gradient temperature pre-oxidation includes five stages of heat preservation pre-oxidation:
[0105] The first stage: pre-oxidation at 825-835℃ for 1-5 minutes;
[0106] The second stage: pre-oxidation at 835-845℃ for 1-5 minutes;
[0107] The third stage: pre-oxidation at 845-855℃ for 1-5 minutes;
[0108] The fourth stage: pre-oxidation at 855-865℃ for 1-5 minutes;
[0109] The fifth stage: pre-oxidation at 865-875°C for 1-5 minutes.
[0110] In the present invention, the above 5 stages of heat preservation pre-oxidation program with gradient temperature increase are preferably used to effectively control the growth rate of the oxide layer thickness in each stage, achieve nanometer-level precision, significantly reduce the total thickness error, and form a denser layered pre-oxidation layer. And because the thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of Si and SiO2 is different, the staged temperature increase can release stress step by step to avoid microcracks. At the same time, the dense layered pre-oxidation layer can serve as a diffusion barrier, limiting the disordered diffusion of boron atoms by adjusting the size of the micropores in the layer. The layered structure can suppress the "edge effect", make the doping uniformity within the chip, and avoid Auger recombination caused by local high concentration.

[0114] In the present invention, the above cycle of oxygen supply and oxygen cut-off is preferably compared with intermittent oxygen diffusion. The intermittent oxygen supply cycle process allows boron atoms to advance into the silicon body in stages, better blocking the rapid diffusion of boron atoms, inhibiting interface boron accumulation, reducing BRL (boron-rich layer) concentration, alleviating Auger recombination, and utilizing the periodic barrier effect of the oxide layer to balance the adsorption and diffusion dynamics of boron, thereby optimizing the doping distribution and interface quality, thereby further improving the opening voltage of the TBC battery finally prepared and its conversion efficiency.

[0318] Comparative Example 1
[0319] This comparative example provides a method for preparing a TBC battery.

[0328] Comparative Example 4

[0330] Test Case
[0331] Test samples: TBC batteries provided in Examples 1 to 7, and TBC batteries provided in Comparative Examples 1 to 4;
[0332] Test method: Use Halm test system to test electrical performance.
[0333] The specific test results are shown in Table 1:
[0334] Table 1
[0335]
[0336]
[0337] As shown in Table 1, the boron diffusion method of the TBC battery described in the present invention first forms a dense layered pre-oxidation layer by setting a gradient temperature increase before boron diffusion deposition, and sets intermittent oxygen diffusion during the boron diffusion deposition to block the rapid diffusion of boron atoms, inhibit interface boron accumulation, reduce the BRL (boron rich layer) concentration, reduce Auger recombination, increase the opening voltage, and improve the battery conversion efficiency.
[0338] From the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 4 to 5, it can be seen that the present invention effectively controls the growth rate of the oxide layer thickness in each stage by preferably performing a specific 5-stage heat preservation pre-oxidation program with a gradient temperature increase, thereby achieving nanometer-level precision, significantly reducing the total thickness error, and forming a denser layered pre-oxidation layer, thereby further improving the battery's opening voltage and improving the battery conversion efficiency.
[0339] From the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 6 to 7, it can be seen that the period ratio of oxygen on and oxygen off in the intermittent oxygen-on boron diffusion is preferably 1:(3 to 5), thereby further optimizing the doping distribution and interface quality, and improving the opening voltage of the TBC battery finally prepared, as well as its conversion efficiency.
[0340] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2, it can be seen that if staged pre-oxidation is not performed or the number of stages of heat preservation pre-oxidation is too few, the temperature rise of two adjacent stages is greater than 15°C. Since a dense stratified pre-oxidation layer cannot be formed, interface boron is easily accumulated during the subsequent boron diffusion deposition process, and the battery's opening voltage and conversion efficiency are significantly reduced.
[0341] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-4, it can be seen that without intermittent oxygen supply or by reducing the oxygen flow rate to prolong the diffusion time for boron diffusion, it is difficult to prevent the rapid diffusion of boron atoms, Auger recombination is obvious, and the battery's opening voltage and conversion efficiency are significantly reduced.
[0342] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
