Abstract
Description
A transverse and longitudinal composite multi-junction TBC solar cell and a preparation method thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of solar cells, in particular to a transverse and longitudinal composite multi-junction TBC solar cell and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] IBC cell, also known as cross finger back contact solar cell, is a structural technology that can be compatible with various interface passivation technologies to form TBC, HBC, HPBC and other solar cells. The biggest feature is that the metal cell contact is placed on the back of the cell, and there is no metal electrode on the front surface, so it has a higher short-circuit current J sc , and the back surface can allow wider metal grid lines to reduce the series resistance R s , thereby improving the fill factor FF, so BC type cells often have higher conversion efficiency. In addition, IBC cell module packaging is more flexible, changing from the conventional "Z" shape welding to full back "I" shape welding, avoiding the complex packaging process of conventional modules, and effectively improving the anti-cracking ability of the module. As a TOPCon+ technology, TBC solar cell combines the excellent tunneling silicon oxide / doped amorphous silicon interface passivation technology of TOPCon cell, has higher conversion efficiency potential, and is expected to become the next generation of mass-produced cells.
[0003] Currently, TBC solar cells are generally prepared by high-temperature deposition of p + / n + -poly-Si layer, corresponding laser grooving and wet process steps to form a back cross finger single-junction contact cell. As shown in FIG. 8, currently, the conventional TBC solar cell is generally a single-junction (p-n junction) cell, and its theoretical limit is only ~ 29.43%. Patent CN118136703A discloses a TBC back contact structure crystalline silicon solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The cell includes an N-type silicon substrate, a first tunneling oxide layer, a P-type poly-Si layer, a second tunneling oxide layer, an N-type poly-Si layer, a front passivation film, a back passivation film and an electrode assembly; the back surface of the N-type silicon substrate is distributed with a first and a second deposition area, the first deposition area has a first gap with the side edge of the N-type silicon substrate, and the first and second deposition areas have a second gap; the first tunneling oxide layer and the P-type poly-Si layer are sequentially deposited in the first deposition area; the second tunneling oxide layer covers the second deposition area and part of the P-type poly-Si layer; the N-type poly-Si layer is arranged on the second tunneling oxide layer; the front and back passivation films are arranged on the front and back surfaces of the N-type silicon substrate, respectively; and the electrode assembly includes a first electrode, a second electrode and a third electrode.
[0004] In order to break through the limit efficiency of single-junction cells, the current common method is to use a stacked cell scheme. The common mainstream stacked cell structure is a perovskite cell + crystalline silicon solar cell to form a double-junction (p-n junction) structure, but there are many problems to be solved in the current stacked cell. On the one hand, perovskite cells are ionic crystal cells, which have much poorer long-term outdoor working stability than atomic crystal crystalline silicon cells, resulting in poor reliability of the stacked cell. On the other hand, the preparation process of the cell is quite complex, and the technical difficulty is high, and the required preparation cost is also expensive, which makes it difficult to be used in large areas.
[0005] In summary, in order to break through the limit efficiency of single-junction (p-n junction) TBC solar cells, while reducing the preparation cost and technical difficulty, it is urgent to continuously develop new structures of TBC solar cells. SUMMARY
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a horizontal and vertical composite multi-junction TBC solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The TBC solar cell of the present application has a horizontal and vertical composite multi-junction structure (p-n junction), which is beneficial to further improve the cell conversion efficiency of the cell, and at the same time reduces the cell preparation cost and technical difficulty.
[0007] The specific technical scheme of the present application is as follows: In the first aspect, the present application provides a horizontal and vertical composite multi-junction TBC solar cell, which comprises an N-type silicon wafer, and the front surface of the N-type silicon wafer is provided with a pyramid texture and a passivation layer in sequence. The back surface of the N-type silicon wafer is provided with a deposition area A and a deposition area B in a cross-finger distribution; the gap between the deposition area A and the deposition area B is an isolation area, and the surface of the isolation area is provided with a pyramid texture and a passivation layer in sequence.
[0008] The surface of the deposition area A is provided with a boron diffusion layer A, a phosphorus diffusion layer A, a tunneling oxide layer A, a phosphorus diffusion layer B, a passivation layer and an electrode layer in sequence.
[0009] The surface layer of the N-type silicon wafer at the bottom of the deposition area B is a boron diffusion layer B, and the surface of the deposition area B is provided with a tunneling oxide layer B, a boron diffusion layer C, a passivation layer and an electrode layer in sequence.
[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, the above-mentioned TBC solar cell of the present application has a horizontal-vertical composite multi-junction structure (p-n junction). Among them, the first p-n junction a is in a horizontal structure, which is composed of a boron diffusion layer B (p-type region) and the N-type silicon wafer on its left and right sides (the N-type silicon wafer base is an n-type region); the second p-n junction b is in a vertical structure, which is composed of a boron diffusion layer A and an N-type silicon wafer at the bottom thereof; and the third p-n junction c is in a vertical structure, which is composed of a boron diffusion layer A and a phosphorus diffusion layer A (n-type region). First, compared with a conventional single vertical single-junction cell (PERC, TOPCon, HJT, etc.), the above-mentioned horizontal-vertical composite multi-junction TBC solar cell can form a laminated structure in the silicon base itself, which can obtain a higher V oc number, further improving the cell conversion efficiency; secondly, compared with a conventional perovskite + crystalline silicon laminated cell (preparation steps > 20 steps), the preparation steps of the cell are more simple (< 16 steps), the preparation cost is lower, and the laminated structure is entirely composed of atomic crystals, which is more stable in long-term aging (light decay, humidity and heat, ultraviolet, etc.) environment.
[0011] As a preferred, the thickness of the boron diffusion layer A is 200-1300 nm; the thickness of the boron diffusion layer B is 100-500 nm; the thickness of the boron diffusion layer C is 100-300 nm; the thickness of the phosphorus diffusion layer A is 50-400 nm; and the thickness of the phosphorus diffusion layer B is 100-300 nm.
[0012] Secondly, the present application provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned horizontal-vertical composite multi-junction TBC solar cell, which comprises the following steps: S1, double-sided polishing of an N-type silicon wafer.
[0013] S2, boron diffusion, generating a boron diffusion layer A and a BSG layer A on the back surface of the N-type silicon wafer, wherein the boron atom concentration of the boron diffusion layer A is 1E+18-1E+19 cm -3 .
[0014] After the first boron diffusion, the boron diffusion layer A and the BSG layer A can be generated on the back surface of the N-type silicon wafer in sequence.
[0015] S3, removing the BSG layer A.
[0016] The BSG layer A on the back surface after the boron diffusion can be removed by adopting a chain machine or the like, so as to lay a foundation for the subsequent deposition step.
[0017] S4, sequentially depositing a tunneling oxide layer A and an intrinsic polysilicon layer A on the surface of the boron diffusion layer A.
[0018] The purpose of this step is to form the intrinsic polysilicon layer A, which provides conditions for the subsequent conversion into a phosphorus diffusion layer B.
[0019] S5, phosphorus diffusion, the surface layer of boron diffusion layer A, the inner layer and the surface layer of intrinsic polysilicon layer A are respectively converted into phosphorus diffusion layer A (phosphorus atom concentration is 5E+18~2E+20 cm -3 ), phosphorus diffusion layer B (phosphorus atom concentration is >1E+20 cm -3 ) and PSG layer.
[0020] In the phosphorus diffusion process, by controlling the phosphorus atom concentration of the phosphorus diffusion surface to be greater than the boron atom concentration of the first boron diffusion surface, the phosphorus atoms can pass through the tunneling oxide layer A, so that the surface layer of the boron diffusion layer A is converted from a p-type region (i.e. a boron diffusion region) to an n-type region (i.e. a phosphorus diffusion region), while the deep layer of the boron diffusion layer A remains a p-type doped region. At the same time, the inner layer of the intrinsic polysilicon layer A is also converted into a phosphorus diffusion layer B after phosphorus diffusion.
[0021] S6, the PSG layer of the N-type silicon wafer back surface deposition area B and the isolation area is removed by laser patterning treatment.
[0022] S7, alkaline cleaning to remove the deposition layer (including boron diffusion layer A, phosphorus diffusion layer A, tunneling oxide layer A and phosphorus diffusion layer B) of the deposition area B and the isolation area.
[0023] When the PSG layer of the deposition area B and the isolation area is removed by laser, the deposition area at the bottom of the original PSG layer in this area can be removed during alkaline cleaning, so that the back surface of the silicon wafer is exposed to provide conditions for subsequent deposition. While the deposition area A is protected by PSG, the bottom deposition area is retained.
[0024] S8, tunneling oxide layer B and intrinsic polysilicon layer B are deposited on the surface of deposition area A, deposition area B and isolation area in sequence.
[0025] The purpose of this step is to form intrinsic polysilicon layer B to provide conditions for subsequent conversion into boron diffusion layer C.
[0026] S9, boron diffusion, the surface layer of the N-type silicon wafer at the bottom of the deposition area B and the isolation area, the inner layer and the surface layer of intrinsic polysilicon layer B are respectively converted into boron diffusion layer B (boron atom concentration is 1E+19~2E+19 cm -3 ), boron diffusion layer C (boron atom concentration is 1E+19~1E+20 cm -3 ) and BSG layer B.
[0027] In the present boron diffusion process, by controlling the surface concentration of boron atoms, the boron atoms can pass through the tunneling oxide layer B of the deposition area A and the isolation area to the bottom of the N-type silicon wafer, so that the surface layer of the N-type silicon wafer is converted into P-type silicon, i.e., the boron diffusion layer B. The surface of the deposition area A is effectively blocked from the bottom area of the PSG layer due to the presence of the intermediate PSG layer. Meanwhile, the inner layer and the surface layer of the intrinsic polysilicon layer B are converted into the boron diffusion layer C and the BSG layer B after the present boron diffusion.
[0028] S10, removing the BSG layer B of the deposition area A and the isolation area by laser patterning treatment.
[0029] S11, removing the sputtering layer on the front surface and the side surface of the N-type silicon wafer.
[0030] S12, cleaning and texturing.
[0031] In the process, since there is no sputtering layer on the front surface of the silicon wafer, an effective light-trapping textured surface (i.e., a pyramid textured surface) can be formed under the action of an alkali solution; and the deposition area A on the back surface of the silicon wafer is effectively corroded and removed by the alkali solution until the deposition layer of the PSG layer, i.e., each deposition layer formed after the PSG layer on the surface of the deposition area A on the back surface of the N-type silicon wafer is removed by the alkali solution (the deposition area A is prevented from being further corroded due to the blocking of the PSG layer), and each deposition layer in the junction between the deposition area A and the deposition area B (the isolation area) is also removed after being corroded by the alkali solution, thereby forming a gap (the gap has no deposition layer, i.e., the back surface of the N-type silicon wafer is in an exposed state), and a pyramid textured surface is formed in the gap after further corrosion by the alkali solution. In addition, since the BSG layer B still exists in the deposition area B, the parts of the deposition area B are protected from being damaged during the cleaning and texturing process. Finally, the PSG layer on the back surface of the silicon wafer is removed by acid washing (i.e., the boron diffusion layer B in the deposition area A is exposed), and the BSG layer B on the outermost layer of the deposition area B is also removed.
[0032] S13, double-sided film plating.

In addition, since the deposition area B still has the BSG layer B, the deposition area B can be protected from being damaged during the cleaning and texturing process. Finally, the PSG layer on the back side of the silicon wafer is removed by acid washing (i.e. the boron diffusion layer B in the deposition area A is exposed) and the BSG layer B on the outermost layer of the deposition area B is removed.

In the phosphorus diffusion process, by controlling the phosphorus atom concentration of the phosphorus diffusion surface to be greater than the boron atom concentration of the first boron diffusion surface, the phosphorus atoms can pass through the tunneling oxide layer A, so that the surface layer of the boron diffusion layer A is converted from the p-type region (i.e. the boron diffusion region) to the n-type region (i.e. the phosphorus diffusion layer A, the thickness is about 200nm, and the phosphorus atom concentration is 5E+19cm -3 ), while the deep layer of the boron diffusion layer A remains as the p-type doped region. At the same time, the inner layer of the intrinsic polysilicon layer A is also converted into the phosphorus diffusion layer B (the phosphorus atom concentration is 2E+20cm -3 ).

After the PSG layers of the deposition area B and the isolation area are removed by the laser, the original deposition layers at the bottom of the PSG layers in the deposition area B and the isolation area can be removed in the alkali cleaning process, so that the back surface of the silicon wafer is exposed to provide conditions for the subsequent deposition.

In this boron diffusion process, by controlling the surface concentration of boron atoms, the boron atoms can pass through the tunneling oxide layer B in the deposition area B and the isolation area to the bottom of the N-type silicon wafer, so that the surface layer is converted from n-type silicon to p-type silicon, that is, boron diffusion layer B. The surface of the deposition area A can effectively block boron atoms from entering the bottom area of the PSG layer due to the presence of the intermediate PSG layer. At the same time, the inner layer and the surface layer of the intrinsic polysilicon layer B are respectively converted into boron diffusion layer C and BSG layer B after this boron diffusion.

Subsequently, the texturing tank is followed by a self-acid (HF / HCl) cleaning tank to further remove the residual PSG layer of the silicon wafer. In this process, since the front surface of the silicon wafer has no wrap plating layer, an effective light-trapping textured surface (i.e. pyramid textured surface) can be formed under the action of the alkali solution; and the deposition area A on the back surface of the silicon wafer, since losing the protection of the BSG layer B, the alkali solution can effectively corrode and remove the deposition layer until the PSG layer, i.e. the deposition layers formed after the PSG layer on the surface of the deposition area A of the N-type silicon wafer are removed by alkali cleaning (the deposition layers before the PSG layer can be avoided from being further corroded due to the blockage of the PSG layer in the deposition area A), and at the same time, the deposition layers (including the bottom boron diffusion layer A) in the junction (isolation area) between the deposition area A and the deposition area B are removed after being corroded by alkali, thereby forming a gap (the gap has no deposition layer, i.e. the back surface of the N-type silicon wafer is in an exposed state), and on this basis, the pyramid textured surface is formed in the gap after further corrosion by the alkali solution. In addition, since the deposition area B still has the BSG layer B, the parts of the deposition area B can be protected from being damaged during the cleaning and texturing process.
