Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a TOPCON solar cell and a preparation method thereof, a photovoltaic module, and a photovoltaic system. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of solar cell technology, more and more photovoltaic manufacturers are beginning to deploy TOPCON (tunnel oxide passivated contact) cell technology. Traditional TOPCON solar cells use a tunnel oxide layer and a doped polysilicon layer on the back side for passivation contact. This passivation contact structure allows majority carriers to penetrate the tunnel oxide layer while blocking minority carriers, effectively achieving carrier selective transmission and significantly reducing surface recombination and metal-metal recombination in the cell.
[0003] Currently, some literature reports use a tunneling oxide layer and a doped polysilicon layer on the front of TOPCON solar cells to reduce metal recombination on the front side, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of TOPCON solar cells. However, the doped polysilicon layer has strong parasitic absorption on the front side, which to some extent limits the improvement of cell efficiency.

[0057] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a TOPCON solar cell. The preparation method may include:
[0059] Step S10: providing an N-type silicon substrate having a textured structure.
[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the provided N-type silicon substrate needs to undergo the following treatments: cleaning and texturing.
[0061] The purpose of the cleaning process is to clean the contaminants on the surface of the N-type silicon substrate. During cleaning, a wet chemical cleaning method can be used to clean the contaminants on the surface of the N-type silicon substrate.
[0062] The purpose of the texturing process is to form a velvet structure (also known as a light-trapping structure) on the surface of the N-type silicon substrate. This not only reduces the reflectivity of incident light on the solar cell surface, but also increases the effective optical path of light within the solar cell, increasing the number of internal reflections and thus reducing total reflection, thereby improving the cell's conversion efficiency.
[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, a textured structure can be formed on the surface of an N-type silicon substrate by mechanical grooving, chemical etching, plasma etching, etc. When forming the textured structure, the textured structure can be formed only on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate, or can be formed on both the front and back surfaces of the N-type silicon substrate.
[0064] It should be noted that the front side of the N-type silicon substrate refers to the side of the TOPCON solar cell in the photovoltaic module facing the sun when the photovoltaic module is erected, and the back side of the N-type silicon substrate refers to the side of the TOPCON solar cell facing away from the sun.
[0065] As an example, the resistivity of the N-type silicon substrate is 0.4-1.6 Ω.cm (ohm.cm). During texturing, the N-type silicon substrate is textured using an alkaline solution (e.g., sodium hydroxide solution) and a texturing additive (e.g., isopropyl alcohol). After texturing, the thickness of a single side of the N-type silicon substrate is reduced to 1.5-3.0 μm (micrometers).
[0066] In step S11 , a first tunneling oxide layer and a first doped polysilicon layer are sequentially formed on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate, and a second tunneling oxide layer and a second doped polysilicon layer are sequentially formed on the back surface of the N-type silicon substrate.
[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the first tunnel oxide layer and the second tunnel oxide layer can be prepared by LPCVD (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition, low pressure chemical vapor deposition) method, PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) method, PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition, physical vapor deposition) method, thermal oxidation method and the like.
[0068] The first doped polycrystalline silicon layer can first be prepared by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), magnetron sputtering, RPD (reactive plasma deposition) method, ALD (atomic layer deposition) method and the like to obtain a first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer; thereafter, the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is further processed to obtain a first doped polycrystalline silicon layer.
[0069] The second doped polycrystalline silicon layer can first be prepared by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), magnetron sputtering, RPD (reactive plasma deposition) method, ALD (atomic layer deposition) method and the like to obtain a second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer; thereafter, the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is further processed to obtain a second doped polycrystalline silicon layer.
[0070] As an example, when using LPCVD equipment to prepare the first tunneling oxide layer, the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, the second tunneling oxide layer, and the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, the LPCVD equipment can be used to simultaneously deposit the first tunneling oxide layer, the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, the second tunneling oxide layer, and the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer on the front and back sides of the N-type silicon substrate. During the preparation process, the reaction gases used are silicon source gas (such as silane SiH4), nitrogen, and oxygen. The flow rate of the silane is 500-1800 sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute), the flow rate of the nitrogen is 300-2000 sccm, and the flow rate of the oxygen is 100-1500 sccm. The set temperature is 570-650°C.
[0071] As another example, when other preparation methods (non-LPCVD method) are used to prepare the first tunneling oxide layer, the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, the second tunneling oxide layer and the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, the first tunneling oxide layer and the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer can be prepared in sequence on the front side of the N-type silicon substrate, and then the second tunneling oxide layer and the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer can be prepared in sequence on the back side of the N-type silicon substrate.
[0072] In one embodiment, the first doped polysilicon layer may be a P-type doped polysilicon layer, and correspondingly, the second doped polysilicon layer may be an N-type doped polysilicon layer.
[0073] In another embodiment, the first doped polysilicon layer may be an N-type doped polysilicon layer, and correspondingly, the second doped polysilicon layer may be a P-type doped polysilicon layer.
[0074] The doping elements for forming the P-type doped polysilicon layer may be boron, aluminum, gallium, etc. The doping elements for forming the N-type doped polysilicon layer may be phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, etc.
[0075] Step S12: Scanning the first doped polysilicon layer using a laser according to a set pattern to form a silicon oxide layer.
[0076] The set pattern is set according to actual conditions, and is preferably determined according to the pattern of the front electrode to be prepared subsequently, that is, the set pattern is preferably the same as the pattern of the front electrode to be prepared subsequently.
[0077] It should be noted that the set pattern may not be completely the same as the pattern of the front electrode.
[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the pattern to be identical to the pattern of the front electrode, a silicon oxide layer having the same pattern as the front electrode can be formed after the laser is scanned on the first doped polysilicon layer. In this way, after the first doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser is subsequently removed, the passivation contact structure formed on the front of the TOPCON solar cell can be only present in the area corresponding to the front electrode, and no passivation contact structure is present in the area. This can effectively reduce the metal recombination in the front metallization area, thereby minimizing parasitic absorption losses and improving the open circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the cell.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the laser may be an ultraviolet nanosecond laser with a wavelength of 355 nm (nanometers).
[0080] In another embodiment, the laser may also be other lasers, as long as the laser wavelength meets a preset condition, and the preset condition may be that the laser wavelength is less than 532 nm.
[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, laser-induced oxidation is used to form the silicon oxide layer by scanning a laser according to a predetermined pattern, thereby protecting the underlying material. Specifically, when the laser is scanned according to the predetermined pattern, the energy of the laser beam is absorbed by the silicon material in the first doped polysilicon layer, causing the temperature of the local area to rise rapidly. When the temperature reaches the oxidation temperature of the silicon material, the surface of the silicon material chemically reacts with the surrounding oxygen to form a silicon oxide layer.
[0082] Step S13 , removing the first doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser.
[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the first doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser can be removed by chemical cleaning.
[0084] In another embodiment, the first doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser may be removed by ion beam etching, laser ablation or the like.
[0085] Step S14 , forming a first passivation film layer on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate where the first doped polysilicon layer in the laser unscanned area is removed, and forming a second passivation film layer on the second doped polysilicon layer.
[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, after the removal operation of the first doped polysilicon layer in the laser unscanned area is completed, a first passivation film layer can be formed on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate to achieve surface passivation and anti-reflection effects.
[0087] The first passivation film layer can be deposited on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate by a PECVD method, a PVD method, an atomic layer deposition ALD method or the like.
[0088] The second passivation film layer serves as a back passivation layer, which can play the role of surface passivation and anti-reflection. The second passivation film layer can also be deposited on the back side of the N-type silicon substrate by methods such as PECVD, PVD or atomic layer deposition (ALD).
[0089] It should be noted that the order of preparing the first passivation film layer and the second passivation film layer is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The first passivation film layer can be prepared first, and then the second passivation film layer is prepared; or the first passivation film layer can be prepared first, and then the second passivation film layer is prepared.
[0090] Step S15 , forming a front electrode on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate, and forming a back electrode on the back surface of the N-type silicon substrate.
[0091] The front electrode can be prepared by thermal evaporation, screen printing, etc. The material of the front electrode includes but is not limited to gold (Au), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), and copper (Cu).
[0092] The back electrode can also be prepared by thermal evaporation, screen printing, etc. The material of the back electrode includes but is not limited to gold (Au), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), and copper (Cu).
[0093] As an example, by screen printing, metal grid lines are printed on the back side of the N-type silicon substrate to form a back electrode; and metal grid lines are printed on the front side of the N-type silicon substrate to form a front electrode.
[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the performance and reliability of the solar cell, a light injection process may be performed after the preparation of the electrode is completed, and after the light injection process is completed, the TOPCON solar cell is obtained.
[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, when preparing a TOPCON solar cell, after preparing a passivation contact structure formed by a tunneling oxide layer and a doped polysilicon layer on the front of the TOPCON solar cell, the first doped polysilicon layer in the laser unscanned area (the front non-gridline area) is removed, and the passivation contact structure in the laser scanned area (the front gridline area) is retained, so that the front metal electrode of the prepared TOPCON solar cell does not directly contact the silicon substrate, thereby reducing metal recombination. At the same time, by removing the first doped polysilicon layer in the laser unscanned area (the front non-gridline area), the area outside the metallization does not generate parasitic absorption losses, thereby improving the battery open circuit voltage and conversion efficiency. In addition, the above-mentioned preparation method has a relatively simple process flow, low equipment investment, and is very suitable for mass production.
[0096] In an optional embodiment, in order to achieve precise surface modification of the first doped polysilicon layer without damaging the TOPCON solar cell, the silicon oxide layer is formed. When a laser is used to scan according to a set pattern, the laser scanning speed is 300-500 mm / s (millimeters / second), the laser power is 3-8 W (watts), and the spot size is 60-120 μm (micrometers).
[0097] The scanning speed may be any value within the range of 300-500 mm / s, for example, 300 mm / s, 400 mm / s, 4500 mm / s, and 500 mm / s.
[0098] The laser power may be any value within the range of 3-8W, for example, 3W, 4W, 6W, or 8W.
[0099] The spot size can be any value within the range of 60-120um, for example, 60um, 80um, 100um, and 120um.
[0100] In an optional embodiment, in order to further reduce parasitic absorption generated in areas outside the metallization and improve the open circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery, the width of the set pattern is 80-150um, and the set pattern is the same as the pattern of the front electrode.
[0101] The width of the set graphic can be any value within the range of 80-150um, for example, 80um, 100um, 120um, and 150um.
[0102] In an embodiment of the present application, by setting the width of the pattern to 80-150um and setting the pattern to be the same as the pattern of the front electrode, a silicon oxide layer having the same pattern as the front electrode can be formed after scanning by laser based on the set pattern, and the size is also slightly larger than the size of the front electrode, so that after subsequently removing the first doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser, a passivation contact structure with the smallest possible area can be obtained, thereby increasing the area of the area outside the metallization and reducing parasitic absorption losses.
[0103] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 2 , forming a first doped polysilicon layer on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate includes:
[0104] Step S20 , depositing a first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer on the first tunneling oxide layer.
[0105] Intrinsic amorphous silicon (ia-Si) is an amorphous silicon material that has no intentionally added dopants and is therefore neither a p-type nor an n-type semiconductor. The electrical conductivity of ia-Si is relatively low because it does not contain additional free carriers (electrons or holes).
[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer can be prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), magnetron sputtering, RPD (reactive plasma deposition), ALD (atomic layer deposition) and other methods.
[0107] Step S21 , annealing the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer to form a first polycrystalline silicon layer.
[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, by performing annealing on the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, the amorphous silicon layer undergoes a crystallization process, wherein the atoms of the amorphous silicon are rearranged to form a polycrystalline silicon structure.
[0109] It should be noted that the annealing temperature and annealing time have a significant impact on the crystallization rate and the final grain size. Therefore, during the annealing process, the annealing temperature and annealing time need to be reasonably controlled.
[0110] Step S22 , performing phosphorus diffusion treatment on the first polysilicon layer to form the first doped polysilicon layer.
[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, a low-pressure tube furnace may be used to perform phosphorus diffusion treatment on the first polysilicon layer to achieve phosphorus doping and form a phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer.
[0112] Step S23 , removing the phosphosilicate glass coated around the back and edge of the N-type silicon substrate.
[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, since a diffusion layer will be formed on the surface and periphery of the silicon wafer during the diffusion process, and the peripheral diffusion layer is prone to short circuit, and the surface diffusion layer will affect the subsequent passivation, after the phosphorus diffusion treatment is completed, the phosphorus silicon glass (BSG) coated on the back and edge of the N-type silicon substrate needs to be removed.
[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, chemical cleaning can be used to remove the phosphosilicate glass coated around the back and edge of the N-type silicon substrate. In one embodiment, when chemical cleaning is used to remove the phosphosilicate glass, HF (hydrofluoric acid) solution can be used to remove the phosphosilicate glass.
[0115] Accordingly, see Figure 3 , forming a second doped polysilicon layer on the back side of the N-type silicon substrate includes:
[0116] Step S30 , depositing a second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer on the second tunneling oxide layer.
[0117] In an embodiment of the present application, the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer can also be prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), magnetron sputtering, RPD (reactive plasma deposition), ALD (atomic layer deposition) and other methods.
[0118] It should be noted that the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer and the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer can be prepared simultaneously or separately.
[0119] Step S31 , annealing the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer to form a second polysilicon layer.
[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, by performing annealing on the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, the amorphous silicon layer undergoes a crystallization process, wherein the atoms of the amorphous silicon are rearranged to form a polycrystalline silicon structure.
[0121] It should be noted that the annealing temperature and annealing time have a significant impact on the crystallization rate and the final grain size. Therefore, during the annealing process, the annealing temperature and annealing time need to be reasonably controlled.
[0122] Step S32 , performing boron diffusion treatment on the second polysilicon layer to form the second doped polysilicon layer.
[0123] In the embodiment of the present application, a tube furnace may be used to perform boron diffusion treatment on the second polysilicon layer to achieve boron doping and form a boron-doped polysilicon layer.
[0124] Step S33 , removing the borosilicate glass coated around the front surface and edges of the N-type silicon substrate.
[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, since a diffusion layer will be formed on the surface and periphery of the silicon wafer during the diffusion process, and the peripheral diffusion layer is prone to short circuit, and the surface diffusion layer will affect the subsequent passivation, after the boron diffusion treatment is completed, the borosilicate glass (PSG) coated on the front and edge of the N-type silicon substrate needs to be removed.
[0126] In the embodiment of the present application, a chemical cleaning method can be used to remove the phosphosilicate glass coated around the back and edges of the N-type silicon substrate. In one embodiment, when using a chemical cleaning method to remove the phosphosilicate glass, an HF (hydrofluoric acid) solution can be used to remove the borosilicate glass, or a mixed solution of HF and nitric acid (HNO3) can be used to remove the borosilicate glass.
[0127] The TOPCON solar cell prepared in the examples of this application adopts a back-junction cell structure. By placing the boron-doped polysilicon layer on the back of the cell, the boron-doped polysilicon layer can be prevented from growing on the velvet surface to produce large recombination. In addition, the low solid solubility of boron and the low hole mobility will result in a very high lateral resistance when the boron-doped polysilicon is used as the emitter, which in turn leads to a reduction in the fill factor. In contrast, the back-emitter structure is not very sensitive to the front lateral resistance. Therefore, the back-junction cell will have a higher cell conversion efficiency than the existing TOPCON solar cell using the positive junction cell structure.
[0128] In an optional embodiment, the removal of the first doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser includes: removing the first doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser by a chemical cleaning method, wherein the cleaning solution of the chemical cleaning method is a KOH solution with a volume fraction of 7-11%, the cleaning temperature is 35-45°C, and the cleaning time is 70-100 seconds.
[0129] The volume fraction of the KOH solution may be any value within the range of 7-11%, for example, 7%, 9%, 10%, or 11%.

[0131] The cleaning time may be any value within the range of 70-100 seconds, for example, 70 seconds, 80 seconds, 90 seconds, or 100 seconds.
[0132] In the embodiment of the present application, during chemical cleaning, a chain device may be used, and the N-type silicon substrate may be placed face down for cleaning.
[0133] In an embodiment of the present application, by controlling the cleaning process according to the above parameters during the cleaning process, the first doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser can be completely removed, and the silicon oxide layer serving as a protective layer can be basically removed without removing the material protected by the silicon oxide layer serving as a protective layer.

[0139] In one embodiment, in order to improve the polishing effect, an additive may be added during the alkali polishing process. The additive may be a photovoltaic wet process additive from Tuobang, such as Tuobang BP65.

[0141] In the embodiment of the present application, a mask layer is formed on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate before the alkali polishing treatment is performed, thereby protecting the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate.
[0142] In an optional embodiment, before the step of sequentially forming a first tunneling oxide layer and a first doped polysilicon layer on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate, the step further includes: removing the mask layer.

Use an ultraviolet nanosecond laser with a wavelength of 355nm, a laser scanning speed of 420mm / s, a laser power of 6W, a spot size of 60um, and a pattern width of 120um.
[0185] Step 9: Use a KOH solution with a volume fraction of 8% to clean and remove the phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer in the area not scanned by the laser. The temperature is controlled at 42° C. and the cleaning time is 85 seconds.
[0186] Step 10: Deposit a first passivation film layer on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate, including an aluminum oxide layer and a composite dielectric layer, wherein the composite dielectric layer includes a silicon nitride layer, a silicon oxynitride layer and a silicon oxide layer, the thickness of the aluminum oxide layer is 6 nm, and the thickness of the composite dielectric layer is 72 nm.

[0188] Step 12: Print a metal electrode on the back side through screen printing to form a back electrode; and print a metal electrode on the front side to form a front electrode.
[0189] Step 13: Perform light injection processing to obtain a TOPCON solar cell, wherein the light injection intensity is 7000W / m 2 (Watts / m2), the temperature is 65℃.
