Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a technology in the field of solar photovoltaic cells, specifically a crystalline silicon heterojunction bifacial solar cell with a synergistic effect of chemical passivation and field-effect passivation, and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In existing crystalline silicon solar cells, passivation of the substrate surface generally employs two methods: chemical passivation, which reduces the surface state density through saturated interfacial dangling bonds, typically dominated by hydrogen and oxygen atoms; and field-effect passivation, which achieves passivation through fixed charges in the insulating layer or through its high charge concentration. Amorphous silicon / crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells consist of intrinsic amorphous silicon thin films and doped amorphous silicon thin films deposited on both sides of the substrate. This structure combines the advantages of crystalline silicon cells and thin-film cells, possessing advantages such as simple structure, fewer processing steps, low processing temperature, and good temperature characteristics, making it one of the hot research directions for obtaining high-efficiency solar cells. Currently, industrialized amorphous silicon / crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells use intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films as the passivation layer. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon has a relatively low surface state density (~3×10⁻⁶). 10 cm -2 While chemical passivation provides excellent passivation, it lacks fixed charge and field-effect passivation, and its thickness is typically above 5 nm, leading to parasitic absorption. Therefore, to achieve a synergistic effect of chemical and field-effect passivation in bifacial crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells, dielectric passivation films with fixed charges of different polarities need to be deposited on the front and back sides of the crystalline silicon textured surface. Ideally, the dielectric passivation film should have a low surface state density but a high fixed charge density. Existing heterojunction solar cells using hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxynitride (SON) films as passivation layers generally use SON films on both sides, neglecting the field-effect passivation advantages brought by fixed charges. Furthermore, the thickness of the SON films used exceeds 2 nm, at which point carrier tunneling is almost nonexistent, with the focus solely on the chemical passivation characteristics of SON. Existing floating junction back-side passivated crystalline silicon cells have direct contact between the silicon substrate and the metal electrode, easily leading to carrier recombination. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a crystalline silicon heterojunction bifacial solar cell with a synergistic effect of chemical passivation and field-effect passivation, along with its fabrication method. By employing a thin oxide layer with a high fixed charge as both a passivation layer and a tunneling layer, the invention enhances the passivation effect through a composite passivation synergistic effect, addressing the problem of low photogenerated carrier collection efficiency in heterojunction cells. This improves the passivation effect while reducing light absorption generated by the passivation layer.
[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This invention relates to a bifacial crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell with a synergistic effect of chemical passivation and field-effect passivation, comprising: an n-type or p-type monocrystalline silicon substrate, a boron-doped hydrogenated nano-silicon (nc-Si(p):H) thin film layer located on one side of the substrate and serving as an emitter layer or window layer, and aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) sequentially disposed on the substrate from the inside out. x Thin film, boron-doped hydrogenated silicon nanofilm, transparent conductive layer and metal electrode, phosphorus-doped hydrogenated silicon nanofilm located on the other side of the substrate as a window layer or emitter layer, and hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxynitride (SiO2) sequentially disposed on the substrate from the inside out. x N y The structure consists of a thin film of phosphorus-doped hydrogenated nano-silicon (nc-Si(n):H), a transparent conductive layer, and a metal electrode.
[0006] The single-crystal silicon substrate is specifically an n-type or p-type Cz Czochralski single-crystal silicon wafer or a cast single-crystal silicon wafer, wherein the doping element of the n-type single-crystal silicon is P, As or Sb, and the doping element of the p-type single-crystal silicon is B, Al or Ga.
[0007] The alumina thin layer has a thickness of 0.5-2 nm and a negative charge density of -5 × 10⁻⁵. 12 cm -2 The product of electron and hole concentrations on the silicon surface is reduced by adjusting their values and ratios, thereby widening the surface concentration difference between free electrons and holes and reducing surface carrier recombination.

[0010] The hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxynitride thin layer is prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with N2, N2O and SiH4 gases introduced, wherein the N2O flow rate is 10-50 sccm, the N2O:SiH4 gas flow rate ratio is 5:3-10:3, the process temperature is 200-400℃, and the chamber pressure is 0.1-5 mbar.
[0011] The thickness of both the boron-doped hydrogenated silicon nanofilm and the phosphorus-doped hydrogenated silicon nanofilm is 3-20 nm, and they are prepared by plate-type very high frequency (VHF)-PECVD deposition.
[0012] The thickness of the transparent conductive layer is 50-150 nm, and it is prepared by magnetron sputtering or ion reactive deposition (RPD) using indium tin oxide (ITO), indium tungsten oxide (IWO), SCOT conductive film (In2O3:ZrO2:TiO2:Ga2O3=98.5:0.5:0.5:0.5), or zinc aluminum oxide (AZO).
[0013] The metal electrode is a grid-shaped electrode, which is made of Ag, Au or Cu and is prepared by screen printing, vacuum evaporation or electroplating.
[0014] This invention relates to a method for preparing the above-mentioned crystalline silicon heterojunction bifacial solar cell, comprising the following steps:
[0015] Step 1: Using an n-type or p-type Cz Czochralski single crystal silicon wafer or a cast single crystal silicon wafer with a resistivity between 0.5-3 Ω·cm and a thickness of 100-180 μm as a substrate, remove the wire-cut damage layer on the surface of the silicon wafer with an alkaline solution.
[0016] Step 2: The silicon wafer obtained in Step 1 is etched with KOH or NaOH alkaline solution to form a pyramid structure on the front and back surfaces of the silicon wafer, which serves to trap light.
[0017] Step 3: Place the silicon wafer obtained in Step 2 into the ALD device and form a nano-thickness tunneling alumina layer on one side of the boron-doped hydrogenated nano-silicon thin film layer of the silicon wafer.
[0018] Step 4: Place the silicon wafer obtained in Step 3 into a plate-type VHF-PECVD, introduce silane and borane gases, and deposit a boron-doped hydrogenated nano-silicon thin film layer on the surface of the silicon wafer.
[0019] Step 5: Flip the silicon wafer obtained in Step 4 and place it into the PECVD equipment to form a nano-thickness tunneling silicon oxynitride layer on one side of the phosphorus-doped hydrogenated nano-silicon thin film layer of the silicon wafer.
[0020] Step 6: Place the silicon wafer obtained in Step 5 into a plate-type VHF-PECVD, introduce silane and phosphine gases, and deposit a phosphorus-doped hydrogenated nano-silicon thin film layer on the surface of the silicon wafer.
[0021] Step 7: Deposit transparent conductive layers on the front and back surfaces of the silicon wafer obtained in Step 6 by magnetron sputtering or ion reaction deposition.
[0022] Step 8: The silicon wafer obtained in Step 7 is used to form grid-shaped Ag, Au or Cu electrodes on the front and back surfaces of the silicon wafer, respectively, by screen printing, vacuum evaporation or electroplating. Technical effect
