Abstract

Phosphorus diffusion formed PN junction is setup on P type silicon chip. There is silicon nitride layer, or surface passivation layer of silica, reflection reducing coating and positive electrode on front face. Characters are that through P type punctual alloy diffusion zone, back metal layer of silicon chip constitutes ohmic contact. Preparing method includes steps: selecting P type chip; preparing knap surface and cleaning; forming PN junction through phosphorus diffusion; etching and corroding edges by using plasma; developing silicon nitride or silica at both sides; preparing point contacted dense P+ zone at back side through screen printing by using solid-solid phase diffusion or selective gaseous phase diffusion; printing and sintering electrode through screen printing; adding metal layer to full back side. The solar cell reaches indexes: open circuit voltage larger than 650mV, current density larger than 38mA / cm2, fill factor as 74úÑ-78úÑ and conversion efficiency 18úÑ-20úÑ.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar cell, in particular to a backside point-contact high-efficiency and low-cost silicon solar cell structure based on a screen printing process; the invention also relates to a manufacturing method of the silicon solar cell. Background technique [0002] The silicon solar cell is actually a PN junction device. The photo-generated carriers generated by the light are swept to both sides of the PN junction through the electric field of the PN junction to form a photo-generated current to achieve the effect of photoelectric conversion. In order to increase photogenerated carriers, the surface of the solar cell is made into a textured or pyramid-like structure to increase light absorption, and an anti-reflection film is used to reduce light reflection. In order to reduce the recombination of photogenerated carriers, structures or measures to reduce the recombination mechanism are added in the silicon body and surface. In the b...
