[0042] Beneficial effects:
[0043] The present invention adopts the above-mentioned technical scheme, especially in the combined passivation structure, to replace the conventional P-type amorphous silicon emitter with hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon carbide and P-type microcrystalline silicon film. The hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon carbide adopts a higher crystallization rate to provide an ordered structure, which provides a starting point for the subsequent crystallization growth of the P-type microcrystalline silicon film, and is beneficial to the orderly growth of crystals to form a uniform, continuous and dense P-type microcrystalline silicon film. The introduction of carbon elements in hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon carbide and hydrogen with an appropriate content can adjust the lattice structure and grain orientation, which is beneficial to optimize the crystallization quality and stability of the film, and improve the film quality of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon carbide and P-type microcrystalline silicon film. In addition, hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon carbide has a higher optical band gap. When combined with a P-type microcrystalline silicon film, a first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, and an N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer with a suitable thickness ratio, it is beneficial to promote the band bending at the PN junction interface, thereby forming a larger built-in electric field, which is beneficial to promote the rapid separation of photogenerated carriers at the interface of the joint passivation structure, reduce the recombination loss of carriers on the surface, and improve the open circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery; the P-type microcrystalline silicon film with a suitable crystallization rate ratio has higher conductivity, and the carrier transmission capacity in the battery is significantly improved, which is beneficial to improve the carrier collection efficiency, improve the battery fill factor, and thus improve the battery conversion efficiency.
[0044] Among them, the present invention also combines a P-type microcrystalline silicon film with a specific effective boron doping concentration greater than a 3-layer layered structure with hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon carbide without boron doping, which can improve the crystallization rate of the overall microcrystalline silicon stack, and is more conducive to improving the conductivity of the film layer and improving battery efficiency.
[0045] In the manufacturing method of the present invention, hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon carbide is deposited at a relatively low deposition rate without the influence of doped boron atoms, and microcrystallization can be formed under conditions of a relatively low power density. Therefore, the influence on the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer thereunder is relatively small, so that the battery can maintain a good passivation effect; and it is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of preparing the P-type microcrystalline silicon film, and the deposition rate of the P-type microcrystalline silicon film can be increased, which is beneficial to shortening the production cycle and improving production capacity.
