Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and more specifically, to an HJT cell with high photoelectric conversion efficiency and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the mainstream battery products in the market are P-type monocrystalline PERC cells, and the efficiency of P-type PERC cells has reached its upper limit. However, with the market demand, the technology in the industry has been continuously developing. In recent years, N-type crystalline silicon solar cell technology has received increasing attention, mainly including passivated emitter rear surface cell (n-PERT), tunnel oxide passivated contact cell (TOPCon), and heterojunction cell (HJT). N-type crystalline silicon solar cells have further broken through and improved the conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells.
[0003] The HJT cell uses inexpensive amorphous silicon as the emitter layer. The emitter layer is doped amorphous silicon material. When depositing and preparing monocrystalline silicon, a temperature of about 200 °C can meet the preparation temperature requirements. The low-temperature process also ensures lower interface damage to the monocrystalline silicon substrate, and the existence of the intrinsic layer makes the interface passivation performance better. Heterojunction solar cells maintain the core advantage of high efficiency due to the large bandgap width of the heterostructure. However, there are still some technical problems that need to be overcome, such as the passivation characteristics of the amorphous silicon layer and the carrier transport characteristics in the structural layer, which will affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the HJT heterojunction cell. Therefore, how to study a preparation method for heterojunction cells with high light conversion efficiency is an urgent problem that those skilled in the art are facing currently.
[0004] The structure of the existing HJT cell is to make an amorphous silicon intrinsic layer and a doped layer on both sides of N-type monocrystalline silicon. The amorphous silicon intrinsic layer mainly passivates the surface defects of crystalline silicon, reduces surface defect states, and thus reduces carrier recombination. The amorphous silicon doped layer mainly forms a PIN junction and a field effect passivation layer with crystalline silicon. However, the existing technology uses B 2 H 6 gas doping to complete the p-type layer of the amorphous silicon doped layer. The p-type layer of the amorphous silicon doped layer formed by B 2 H 6 gas doping has poor thermal stability. B atoms are easy to diffuse into the amorphous silicon intrinsic layer, affecting the passivation effect of the intrinsic layer, resulting in a low open-circuit voltage of the solar cell, and further resulting in a low conversion efficiency of the solar cell; in addition, the p-type layer of the amorphous silicon doped layer formed by B 2 H 6 gas doping has a low bandgap width, will absorb more sunlight, increase the optical loss in the long wavelength band, result in a low short-circuit current of the solar cell, and lead to a low overall conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
[0005] After retrieval, the Chinese patent number is ZL 201811472120.6, and the patent name is: Emitter Structure of Crystalline Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cell and Its Preparation Method; this application case includes an N-type crystalline silicon wafer, and an amorphous silicon intrinsic layer is provided on both the front and back sides of the N-type crystalline silicon wafer. A TCO conductive film is provided on the outer side of the amorphous silicon intrinsic layer, and several Ag electrodes are provided on the outer side of the TCO conductive film. An amorphous silicon doped N-layer is provided between the amorphous silicon intrinsic layer and the TCO conductive film on one side of the N-type crystalline silicon wafer, and a TMB doped layer and a B2H6 doped layer are provided between the amorphous silicon intrinsic layer and the TCO conductive film on the other side. This application case uses TMB gas for doping, preventing the doping atom B from diffusing into the amorphous silicon intrinsic layer and improving the open circuit voltage; the TMB gas has a large band gap, and light can pass through the doped layer more effectively, improving the short circuit current; B 2 H 6 gas is used for doping, and the conductive performance of the doped layer is better; the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the HJT solar cell is improved. Although this application case uses a lightly doped B layer close to the amorphous silicon intrinsic layer, there will still be a part of B atoms diffusing into the amorphous silicon intrinsic layer, which will affect the film quality of the amorphous silicon intrinsic layer and still have a certain degree of reduction effect on the open circuit voltage.

[0038] Combined with Figure 1 , a HJT battery with high photoelectric conversion efficiency in this embodiment includes an N-type crystalline silicon wafer 1. On the front side of the N-type crystalline silicon wafer 1, an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 301, a SiO 2 layer 302, a C-doped SiO 2 layer 303, an amorphous silicon doped N-type layer, a TCO conductive layer 7 and an electrode 9 are sequentially arranged; on the back side of the N-type crystalline silicon wafer 1, an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 201, a SiO 2 layer 202, a C-doped SiO 2 layer 203, an amorphous silicon doped P-type layer, a TCO conductive layer 6 and an electrode 8 are sequentially arranged.

[0041] The thickness of the amorphous silicon doped P-type layer is 10 nm, the thickness of the amorphous silicon doped N-type layer is 10 nm; the thickness of the TCO conductive layer is 70 nm.
[0042] In this embodiment, the amorphous silicon layer on the surface of the silicon matrix is passivated by the SiO 2 layer for the broken bonds on the surface of the amorphous silicon layer, and the C-doped SiO 2 layer plays a role in accommodating and blocking the doping atoms in the lightly doped p-type and n-type amorphous silicon layers to prevent them from diffusing into the amorphous silicon layer.
[0043] Embodiment 2

[0051] Example 4
[0052] Combined with Figure 1 , a high-photovoltage-conversion-efficiency HJT cell of this example includes an N-type crystalline silicon wafer 1. On the front side of the N-type crystalline silicon wafer 1, a hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous silicon thin film layer 301, a SiO 2 layer 302, a C-doped SiO 2 layer 303, a doped amorphous silicon N-type layer, a TCO conductive layer 7, and an electrode 9 are sequentially arranged; on the back side of the N-type crystalline silicon wafer 1, a hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous silicon thin film layer 201, a SiO 2 layer 202, a C-doped SiO 2 layer 203, a doped amorphous silicon P-type layer, a TCO conductive layer 6, and an electrode 8 are sequentially arranged.

[0053] The thickness of the hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous silicon thin film layer (i-a-Si:H) is 3 nm.
[0054] The thicknesses of the SiO 2 layer and the C-doped SiO 2 layer are both 1 nm. The C-doped SiO 2 layer accommodates a small amount of lightly doped B or lightly doped P atoms in the way of doping the same-group SiO 2 layer, avoiding unnecessary doping of the hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous silicon thin film layer (i-a-Si:H) and affecting the passivation quality.

By changing the doping source and doping concentration, the bandgap width of the doped layer can be modulated to form a doped layer with a large bandgap width and high thermal stability on the light-receiving surface, which is beneficial for more incident light to pass through the doped layer on the light-receiving surface, and more light waves are effectively absorbed to generate photo-generated carriers. Specifically in this embodiment, the lightly boron-doped amorphous silicon layer 401 is doped with TMB gas, has a thickness of 1 nm, and a bandgap width of 1.8 eV.

[0057] The thickness of the TCO conductive layer is 70 nm.
[0058] In this embodiment, the heavily doped p-type and n-type amorphous silicon layers and the TCO layer can form good electrical contact; the p-type layer of the amorphous silicon doped layer on the backlight side adopts a double-layer stacked structure. The p-type doped layer close to the C-doped SiO 2 layer is doped with TMB gas to prevent the doping atom B (boron) from diffusing into the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, thereby ensuring the passivation effect of the intrinsic amorphous silicon or hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous silicon on the substrate silicon and improving the open-circuit voltage Voc; the p-type doped layer close to the near-intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is doped with TMB gas, which has a larger bandgap width than the amorphous silicon doped layer formed by 2 H 6 gas doping, and the doping atoms have good thermal stability. Incident light can pass through this doped layer more effectively, thereby increasing the light absorption of crystalline silicon and improving the short-circuit current Isc; the p-type doped layer on the side close to the TCO layer is heavily doped with 2 H 6 gas, the conductive performance of the doped layer is better, the series resistance Rs of the solar cell is lower, and thus the fill factor FF is higher; ultimately, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the HJT solar cell is improved.
