Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a solar cell structure with a passivated contact grid line and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The conversion efficiency of PERC cells in the laboratory has reached more than 24%, and in actual mass production, its conversion efficiency is constantly approaching 23%. To further improve the conversion efficiency of cells, it is necessary to solve the problem of high recombination rate in the front metallization area of ​​the cell.

[0003] Generally speaking, passivation contact technology is adopted in the metallization area on the front of PERC cells to form poly-finger technology to significantly reduce the bottleneck problem of high composite current in the metallization area of ​​PERC cells.

[0004] However, from the perspective of the preparation process, all the current poly-finger technology preparation processes are extremely difficult, and there are process steps with low process yields such as mask back etching in the preparation process. For example, in general, after the passivation tunneling layer is deposited on the entire surface, a gate line pattern mask is formed by waxing and other means, and the unnecessary passivation tunneling layer is etched away to finally form a poly-finger structure. At the same time, the preparation process of the passivation tunneling layer is: first prepare a silicon oxide / intrinsic polysilicon layer, and then diffuse and dope the polysilicon layer in a diffusion furnace. The above process is relatively complicated.

[0005] In addition, from the perspective of battery structure, in order to form a good tunneling contact surface poly-finger, the n++ emitter formed by diffusion near the silicon substrate surface on both sides of the silicon oxide and the deposited polysilicon layer must form a significant difference in phosphorus doping concentration gradient, so that a good tunneling effect can be achieved. However, the current diffusion technology level for preparing n++ emitters in the industry is low, and it is difficult to form 1E20atom / cm 3 The surface doping concentration is below 100, and the saturation doping concentration of the polysilicon layer can only reach 1E21atom / cm 3 , so the difference in doping concentration gradient is small, the battery cannot form a good tunneling contact effect, the series resistance of the battery is too large, and the corresponding battery filling factor is worse.

[0006] Therefore, the conversion efficiency of PERC cells made by poly-finger technology is difficult to exceed that of PERC cells made by directly using silver grid contact on the front side. At the same time, the process difficulty is greatly increased and it is not feasible for mass production. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the existing passivation contact technology to improve the performance of PERC cells. Summary of the invention

[0043] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments or prior art descriptions. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, and for ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0045] Figure 2 , Figure 3 It is a process flow diagram of a method for preparing a solar cell structure in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are as follows:

[0047] Front electrode 1, front anti-reflection film layer 2, doped polysilicon layer 3, silicon oxide tunneling layer 4, n++ diffusion layer 5, p-type silicon base layer 6. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific implementation methods of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described implementation methods are only part of the implementation methods of the present invention, not all implementation methods. Based on the implementation methods of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0050] In the prior art, PERC cells with front passivated contacts have the following problems:

[0051] First, it is extremely difficult to form a passivation contact layer in the metallized gate line area, which requires a combination of masking, etching and other processes. At the same time, the front gate line needs to be printed on this passivation contact layer in the later stage. Therefore, there are high requirements for the graphic accuracy of the passivation contact layer, which is difficult and costly.

[0052] Second, it is impossible to form an effective doping concentration gradient difference, the tunneling contact effect is poor, the battery series resistance increases, and the battery fill factor decreases. The actual conversion efficiency of the battery cannot significantly surpass the existing PERC battery structure, and it does not have the advantage of improving conversion efficiency.

[0053] Third, the front silver paste cannot burn through the polysilicon layer in the passivation contact layer, otherwise it will easily cause battery leakage and reduce the battery open circuit voltage. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and use a front silver paste material for solar cells that is different from the current mass production. It can be seen that the mass production environment or mass production preparation is not mature.

[0054] like Figure 1As shown, based on the problems in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a solar cell structure with a passivated contact grid line, comprising:

[0055] p-type silicon base layer 6;

The front electrode 1 is provided on the p-type silicon base layer 6, and a passivation tunneling structure layer is provided between the two. The passivation tunneling structure layer includes a silicon oxide tunneling layer 4 and a doped polysilicon layer 3 stacked from bottom to top. In addition, an n++ diffusion layer 5 is stacked in other areas on the upper surface of the p-type silicon base layer 6. The n++ diffusion layer 5 is used to constitute a pn junction emission region on the front side of the solar cell structure. Therefore, the passivation tunneling structure layer below the front electrode 1 adopts a polysilicon / silicon oxide structure, and the silicon base below the passivation tunneling structure layer is not specially doped, so that the battery structure can be easily and better tunneled.

[0060] In the actual structure, polysilicon / silicon oxide is located under the metal gate line, and there is no special doping under the silicon oxide; the front metal electrode is set as a conductive layer such as a silver layer; the thickness of the doped polysilicon layer 3 is 20 to 200nm; the thickness of the silicon oxide tunneling layer 4 is ≤1.5nm; the doping element of the n++ diffusion layer 5 is phosphorus, and the square resistance is 100 to 220Ω.

[0064] Furthermore, the solar cell structure also includes a back aluminum oxide silicon nitride stacked film, which is disposed on the lower surface of the p-type silicon base layer 6 .

At the same time, phosphorus diffusion causes other areas on the upper surface of the p-type silicon base layer 6 to form an n++ diffusion layer 5, which is used to constitute a pn junction emission area on the front side of the solar cell structure; finally, a front electrode 1 is formed by printing and sintering to form a passivated contact gate line structure; compared with the existing process technology, the above-mentioned arrangement makes the overall process simple and convenient for industrial mass production.
