[0030] Next, the solar cell and the method for manufacturing the solar cell of the present application are described through examples.
[0031] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a solar cell in one embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the solar cell in this embodiment includes a silicon substrate 110, a first front tunneling layer 120, a first front doping layer 130, a second front tunneling layer 140, a second front doping layer 150, a first back tunneling layer 160, a first back doping layer 170, a second back tunneling layer 180, a second back doping layer 190, a first electrode 210 and a second electrode 220.
[0032] Specifically, the silicon substrate 110 has a front surface 111 and a back surface 112 which are opposite to each other in the thickness direction thereof. The front surface 111 can be a light-receiving surface or a backlight surface. When the front surface 111 is a light-receiving surface, the back surface 112 is a backlight surface. When the front surface 111 is a backlight surface, the back surface 112 is a light-receiving surface. The silicon substrate 110 is an N-type doped silicon substrate or a P-type doped silicon substrate.
[0033] The first front tunneling layer 120 is located on the front side 111 of the silicon substrate 110, and the first front doping layer 130 is located on the surface of the first front tunneling layer 120 away from the silicon substrate 110. The material of the first front tunneling layer 120 may include silicon oxide (SiO x ), for example, the first front tunneling layer 120 is a silicon dioxide (SiO2) film. The first front tunneling layer 120 has a passivation effect on the solar cell. The first front doped layer 130 is N-type doped or P-type doped. The material of the first front doped layer 130 may include doped polysilicon, for example, the first front doped layer 130 is P-type doped polysilicon or N-type doped polysilicon.
[0034] For the convenience of description, the surface of the first front doped layer 130 facing away from the silicon substrate 110 is marked as the first surface 131. The second front tunneling layer 140 is located on a local area of the first surface 131. The material of the second front tunneling layer 140 may include silicon oxide, for example, the second front tunneling layer 140 is a silicon dioxide film. The thickness of the second front tunneling layer 140 is less than the thickness of the first front tunneling layer 120, and the second front tunneling layer 140 with a smaller thickness helps to reduce the impact on the series resistance of the solar cell.
[0035] The second front doped layer 150 is located on the surface of the second front tunneling layer 140 away from the silicon substrate 110. The doping type of the second front doped layer 150 is the same as the doping type of the first front doped layer 130, for example, the first front doped layer 130 and the second front doped layer 150 are both N-type doped or P-type doped. The material of the second front doped layer 150 may include doped polysilicon, for example, the second front doped layer 150 is P-type doped polysilicon or N-type doped polysilicon.
[0036] The first electrode 210 is in contact with the second front doping layer 150 , and the first electrode 210 may be formed by sintering.
[0037] The doping concentration of the first front doping layer 130 is less than the doping concentration of the second front doping layer 150, and the thickness of the first front doping layer 130 is less than the thickness of the second front doping layer 150. The low doping concentration and small thickness of the first front doping layer 130 can improve the passivation effect on the front surface 111, which helps to reduce the recombination of carriers. In addition, the small thickness of the first front doping layer 130 also helps to reduce parasitic absorption. The high doping concentration and large thickness of the second front doping layer 150 help to form a good contact between the first electrode 210 and the second front doping layer 150, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the first electrode 210 and the second front doping layer 150. The large thickness of the second front doping layer 150 can also avoid the first electrode 210 burning through the first front doping layer 130 and the second front doping layer 150 during the preparation of the first electrode 210, thereby avoiding the first electrode 210 from directly contacting the silicon substrate 110, which will lead to increased metal recombination. In addition, compared with the technical solution of providing the second front doping layer 150 on the entire first surface 131 , the solar cell of the present application is provided with the second front doping layer 150 only on a local area of the first surface 131 , which can reduce parasitic absorption.
[0038] Continue to refer Figure 1 As shown, the first back tunneling layer 160 is located on the back side 112 of the silicon substrate 110, and the first back doping layer 170 is located on the surface of the first back tunneling layer 160 away from the silicon substrate 110. The material of the first back tunneling layer 160 may include silicon oxide, for example, the first back tunneling layer 160 is a silicon dioxide film. The first back tunneling layer 160 has a passivation effect on the solar cell. The material of the first back doping layer 170 may include doped polysilicon, for example, the first back doping layer 170 is P-type doped polysilicon or N-type doped polysilicon.
[0039] The doping type of the first back doped layer 170 is opposite to the doping type of the first front doped layer 130. In one embodiment, the silicon substrate 110 is N-type doped, the first front doped layer 130 is N-type doped, the first back doped layer 170 is P-type doped, the front side of the silicon substrate 110 is the light-receiving side, and the back side of the silicon substrate 110 is the backlight side.
[0040] For the convenience of description, the surface of the first back doped layer 170 facing away from the silicon substrate 110 is marked as the second surface 171. The second back tunneling layer 180 is located on a local area of the second surface 171. The material of the second back tunneling layer 180 may include silicon oxide, for example, the second back tunneling layer 180 is a silicon dioxide film. The thickness of the second back tunneling layer 180 is less than the thickness of the first back tunneling layer 160. The second back tunneling layer 180 with a smaller thickness helps to reduce the influence of the second back tunneling layer 180 on the series resistance.
[0041] The second back doped layer 190 is located on the surface of the second back tunneling layer 180 away from the silicon substrate 110. The doping type of the second back doped layer 190 is the same as the doping type of the first back doped layer 170, for example, the first back doped layer 170 and the second back doped layer 190 are both P-type doped or N-type doped. The material of the second back doped layer 190 may include doped polysilicon, for example, the second back doped layer 190 is P-type doped polysilicon or N-type doped polysilicon.
[0042] The second electrode 220 contacts the second back doping layer 190 and can be formed by sintering.
[0043] The doping concentration of the first back doping layer 170 is less than the doping concentration of the second back doping layer 190, and the thickness of the first back doping layer 170 is less than the thickness of the second back doping layer 190. The low doping concentration and small thickness of the first back doping layer 170 can improve the passivation effect on the back 112, which helps to reduce the recombination of carriers. In addition, the first back doping layer 170 with a small thickness can also help reduce parasitic absorption. The high doping concentration and large thickness of the second back doping layer 190 help to form a good contact between the second electrode 220 and the second back doping layer 190, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the second electrode 220 and the second back doping layer 190. The large thickness of the second back doping layer 190 can also avoid the second electrode 220 burning through the first back doping layer 170 and the second back doping layer 190 during the preparation of the second electrode 220, thereby avoiding the second electrode 220 from directly contacting the silicon substrate 110, which will lead to increased metal recombination. In addition, compared with the technical solution of providing the second back doping layer 190 on the entire second surface 171 , the solar cell of the present application is provided with the second back doping layer 190 only on a local area of the second surface 171 , which can reduce parasitic absorption.
[0044] In one embodiment, the silicon substrate 110 is N-type doped, the first front doped layer 130 is N-type doped, the first front doped layer 130 contains carbon and / or nitrogen, and the second front doped layer 150 does not contain carbon and nitrogen. Carbon and nitrogen help to assist the passivation effect of the first front doped layer 130, and can also reduce parasitic absorption in the medium and long wave bands. The second front doped layer 150 does not contain carbon and nitrogen, which can avoid the carbon and nitrogen elements causing the contact resistance between the electrode and the second front doped layer 150 to increase. The first back doped layer 170 is P-type doped, the first back doped layer 170 contains carbon, and the second back doped layer 190 does not contain carbon. Carbon can assist the passivation effect of the first back doped layer 170, and the second back doped layer 190 does not contain carbon, which can avoid the carbon element causing the contact resistance between the electrode and the second back doped layer 190 to increase.
[0045] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the solar cell further includes a front passivation anti-reflection layer 230 and a back passivation anti-reflection layer 240. The front passivation anti-reflection layer 230 covers the area of the first surface 131 not covered by the second front tunneling layer 140 and the surface of the second front doped layer 150 away from the silicon substrate 110, and one end of the first electrode 210 penetrates the front passivation anti-reflection layer 230 and contacts the second front doped layer 150. The back passivation anti-reflection layer 240 covers the area of the second surface 171 not covered by the second back tunneling layer 180 and the surface of the second back doped layer 190 away from the silicon substrate 110, and one end of the second electrode 220 penetrates the back passivation anti-reflection layer 240 and contacts the second back doped layer 190. The front passivation anti-reflection layer 230 and the back passivation anti-reflection layer 240 have a passivation effect and can also reduce the reflection of light.
[0046] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for manufacturing a solar cell in an embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the manufacturing method in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0047] Step S310: providing a silicon substrate, wherein the silicon substrate has a front side and a back side opposite to each other;
[0048] Step S320: sequentially forming a first front tunneling layer and a first front doping layer on the front surface;
[0049] Step S330: sequentially forming a second front tunneling layer and a second front doping layer on a local area of the first front doping layer;
[0050] Step S340: sequentially forming a first back-side tunneling layer and a first back-side doping layer on the back side;
[0051] Step S350: sequentially forming a second back tunneling layer and a second back doping layer on a local area of the first back doping layer;
[0052] Step S360: forming a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode contacts the second front doping layer, the second electrode contacts the second back doping layer, and the doping types of the first front doping layer and the second front doping layer are opposite to the doping types of the first back doping layer and the second back doping layer.
[0053] Next, steps S310 to S360 are described in detail.
[0054] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in step S310, a silicon substrate 110 is provided. The silicon substrate 110 has a front side 111 and a back side 112 opposite to each other in the thickness direction thereof. In step S320, a first front side tunneling layer 120 and a first front side doping layer 130 are sequentially formed on the front side 111. In step S340, a first back side tunneling layer 160 and a first back side doping layer 170 are sequentially formed on the back side 112.
[0055] The first front tunneling layer 120, the first front doping layer 130, the first back tunneling layer 160 and the first back doping layer 170 may be prepared by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process. In the process of forming the first front doping layer 130, PECVD is used to dope carbon elements and / or nitrogen elements, so that the first front doping layer 130 contains carbon elements and / or nitrogen elements. In the process of forming the first back doping layer 170, PECVD is used to dope carbon elements, so that the first back doping layer 170 contains carbon elements, wherein the first front doping layer 130 is N-type doped and the first back doping layer 170 is P-type doped. Compared with the low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process, PECVD can simultaneously deposit an amorphous silicon layer and dope the amorphous silicon layer, while LPCVD needs to first deposit an amorphous silicon layer and then dope the amorphous silicon layer, so PECVD has the advantage of fewer process steps. In addition, PECVD can also dope the doped layer with carbon and nitrogen.
[0056] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in step S330, a second front tunneling layer 140 and a second front doping layer 150 are sequentially formed on a local area of the first front doping layer 130. In step S350, a second back tunneling layer 180 and a second back doping layer 190 are sequentially formed on a local area of the first back doping layer 170.
[0057] refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the method of forming the first front doped layer 130, the second front doped layer 150, the first back doped layer 170 and the second back doped layer 190 includes the following steps 11 to 14:
[0058] Step 11: forming a first front amorphous silicon layer 130 - 1 and a second front amorphous silicon layer 150 - 1 on the front surface 111 .
[0059] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, a first front amorphous silicon layer 130-1 is formed on the first front tunneling layer 120, an initial second front tunneling layer 140-1 is formed on the first front amorphous silicon layer 130-1, and a second front amorphous silicon layer 150-1 is formed on the initial second front tunneling layer 140-1, wherein the first front amorphous silicon layer 130-1 and the second front amorphous silicon layer 150-1 are both doped.
[0060] PECVD can be used to form the tunneling layer and the amorphous silicon layer in step 11. Compared with the LPCVD process, thanks to the advantage of PECVD in-situ doping, the PECVD process can be used to prepare the first front amorphous silicon layer 130-1 with a low doping concentration and the second front amorphous silicon layer 150-1 with a high doping concentration in the same process chamber.
[0061] Step 12: forming a first back side amorphous silicon layer 170 - 1 and a second back side amorphous silicon layer 190 - 1 on the back side 112 .
[0062] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, a first back amorphous silicon layer 170-1 is formed on the first back tunneling layer 160, an initial second back tunneling layer 180-1 is formed on the first back amorphous silicon layer 170-1, and a second back amorphous silicon layer 190-1 is formed on the initial second back tunneling layer 180-1, wherein the first back amorphous silicon layer 170-1 and the second back amorphous silicon layer 190-1 are both doped. PECVD can be used to form the tunneling layer and the amorphous silicon layer. Compared with the LPCVD process, thanks to the advantages of PECVD in-situ doping, the PECVD process can be used to prepare the first back amorphous silicon layer 170-1 with a low doping concentration and the second back amorphous silicon layer 190-1 with a high doping concentration in the same process chamber, which saves the step of transferring the solar cell.
[0063] Step 13: removing a portion of the second front amorphous silicon layer and a portion of the second back amorphous silicon layer to form a patterned second front amorphous silicon layer 150 - 2 and a patterned second back amorphous silicon layer 190 - 2 .
[0064] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the patterned second front amorphous silicon layer 150-2 and the patterned second back amorphous silicon layer 190-2 can be formed by the following method: using a laser to form a silicon oxide layer 250 that partially covers the second front amorphous silicon layer 150-1 and the second back amorphous silicon layer 190-1; using the silicon oxide layer 250 as a mask, etching away the second front amorphous silicon layer 150-1 and the second back amorphous silicon layer 190-1 that are not covered by the silicon oxide layer 250 to form the patterned second front amorphous silicon layer 150-2 and the patterned second back amorphous silicon layer 190-2. The second front amorphous silicon layer 150-1 and the second back amorphous silicon layer 190-1 that are not covered by the silicon oxide layer 250 can be removed by a wet etching process.
[0065] Step 14: performing annealing treatment on the first front amorphous silicon layer 130 - 1 , the patterned second front amorphous silicon layer 150 - 2 , the first back amorphous silicon layer 170 - 1 , and the patterned second back amorphous silicon layer 190 - 2 .
[0066] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the annealing process transforms the first front amorphous silicon layer 130-1 into the first front doped layer 130, the patterned second front amorphous silicon layer 150-2 into the second front doped layer 150, the first back amorphous silicon layer 170-1 into the first back doped layer 170, and the patterned second back amorphous silicon layer 190-2 into the second back doped layer 190. In step 14, the annealing process has a crystallization effect, transforming the amorphous silicon into polycrystalline silicon.
[0067] In step 11 to step 14, a patterned second front amorphous silicon layer 150-2 is first formed, and then annealing is performed. The above step sequence has the following technical effects: since amorphous silicon has high reactivity and does not have the anisotropy of crystalline silicon, in the process of etching and removing the second front amorphous silicon layer 150-1 not covered by the silicon oxide layer 250, the thin initial second front tunneling layer 140-1 is sufficient to protect the first front amorphous silicon layer 130-1 located thereunder from being etched. Figure 1 As shown, in the subsequent process steps, part of the initial second front tunneling layer 140-1 will be retained, and the retained part becomes the second front tunneling layer 140. The thin thickness of the initial second front tunneling layer 140-1 can make the thickness of the second front tunneling layer 140 thinner, thereby reducing the influence of the second front tunneling layer 140 on the series resistance. Similarly, the step sequence of first forming the patterned second back amorphous silicon layer 190-2 and then performing the annealing treatment also has the above-mentioned technical effect.
[0068] In addition, in the above embodiment, in step 14, the first front amorphous silicon layer 130-1, the patterned second front amorphous silicon layer 150-2, the first back amorphous silicon layer 170-1 and the patterned second back amorphous silicon layer 190-2 are annealed simultaneously. Compared with annealing the above film layers separately, performing annealing simultaneously can reduce the process steps and thus improve production capacity.
[0069] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, after the annealing treatment, the initial second front tunneling layer 140-1 not covered by the second front doping layer 150 and the initial second back tunneling layer 180-1 not covered by the second back doping layer 190 are removed, or in other words, the exposed initial second front tunneling layer 140-1 and the initial second back tunneling layer 180-1 are removed.
[0070] The portion of the initial second front tunneling layer 140-1 that is not removed becomes the second front tunneling layer 140, and the portion of the initial second back tunneling layer 180-1 that is not removed becomes the second back tunneling layer 180. In one embodiment, the thickness of the second front tunneling layer 140 is less than the thickness of the first front tunneling layer 120, and the thickness of the second back tunneling layer 180 is less than the thickness of the first back tunneling layer 160.
[0071] In one embodiment, after the annealing process, the silicon oxide layer 250 is removed.
[0072] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in step S360, a first electrode 210 and a second electrode 220 are formed. The first electrode 210 contacts the second front doped layer 150, and the second electrode 220 contacts the second back doped layer 190. The doping type of the first front doped layer 130 and the doping type of the second front doped layer 150 are opposite to the doping type of the first back doped layer 170 and the doping type of the second back doped layer 190.
[0073] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 and Figure 1 As shown, the manufacturing method of the present application also includes forming a front passivation anti-reflection layer 230 and a back passivation anti-reflection layer 240, one end of the first electrode 210 penetrates the front passivation anti-reflection layer 230 and contacts the second front doped layer 150, and one end of the second electrode 220 penetrates the back passivation anti-reflection layer 240 and contacts the second back doped layer 190.
