Among many types of renewable energy, photovoltaic power generation technology has the greatest potential for cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0003] Currently, commercially available high-efficiency crystalline silicon cells are mainly divided into perc, TopCon, IBC, and HJT according to their structures. Comparatively speaking, the biggest advantage of Topcon-structured cells lies in their highest potential efficiency, which is closest to the theoretical limit efficiency of crystalline silicon cells. Therefore, the industry has great hopes for it, and the TOPCon-structured cells have also become one of the key research directions for current industrialized high-efficiency solar cells. However, restricted by various factors such as production process design, the passivation contact technology on the front surface of Topcon cells is not clear. Although the passivation contact technology on the back surface has been applied, the effect is not ideal and is still in continuous technical exploration. In addition, problems such as high recombination caused by the contact between metal grid lines and semiconductors have not been well solved, resulting in the potential efficiency of TopCon-structured cells not being well exerted.

In addition, the SiCxOy layer has better barrier properties than the SiO2 and SiNx stacked layers, and can better prevent metal ions such as sodium ions and water molecules from entering the silicon wafer, thereby playing a good protective role for the battery chip.
