[0061] FIG1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a solar cell in some embodiments, and FIG2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a solar cell after a gate is formed in some embodiments. By way of example, the X direction shown in FIG2 is a first direction perpendicular to a substrate, the Y direction is a second direction parallel to the substrate, and the Z direction is a third direction parallel to the substrate, and the third direction intersects with the second direction.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in this embodiment, a method for preparing a solar cell is provided, comprising:

[0063] S102, providing a substrate.

[0064] A substrate 102 for preparing a solar cell is provided, and the material of the substrate 102 includes a doped semiconductor substrate made of silicon or germanium, or a doped compound semiconductor substrate made of silicon carbide, silicon germanium, gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, zinc oxide, gallium oxide, etc. As an example, in this embodiment, the constituent material of the substrate 102 is doped single crystal silicon.

[0065] S104, forming a doping structure on the substrate.

[0066] A doping structure 104 is formed on a substrate 102, wherein the doping structure 104 includes a plurality of doping layers of the same conductive type stacked along a first direction X perpendicular to the substrate 102; wherein the conductive types include N-type and P-type with opposite conductive types, the doping concentration of the doping layer away from the substrate 102 is greater than the doping concentration of the doping layer close to the substrate 102, and the projection area of ​​the doping layer away from the substrate 102 on the substrate 102 is smaller than the projection area of ​​the doping layer close to the substrate 102 on the substrate 102.

[0067] 2 is used for exemplary explanation. When the conductivity type of the doping structure 104 is all N-type, the direction of the longitudinal electric field generated by the difference in doping concentration of each doping layer in the doping structure 104 is: from the doping layer in the doping structure 104 far away from the substrate 102 to the substrate 102, as shown by the dotted line 1 in FIG2 , and the direction of the arrow is the direction of the longitudinal electric field. The direction of the lateral electric field generated by the difference in doping concentration and the difference in projection area of ​​each doping layer in the doping structure 104 is: from the area with thick thickness of the doping structure 104 to the area with thin thickness of the doping structure 104, as shown by the dotted line 2 in FIG2 , and the direction of the arrow is the direction of the lateral electric field. That is, when the conductivity type of the doping structure 104 is all N-type, the longitudinal electric field generated by the doping structure 104 is shown by the dotted line 1, and the lateral electric field is shown by the dotted line 2. When the conductivity type of the doping structure 104 is all P-type, the direction of the longitudinal electric field generated by the difference in doping concentration of each doping layer in the doping structure 104 is: from the substrate 102 to the doping layer in the doping structure 104 away from the substrate 102, as shown by the solid line 3 in Figure 2, and the direction of the arrow is the direction of the longitudinal electric field. The direction of the lateral electric field generated by the difference in doping concentration and the difference in projection area of ​​each doping layer in the doping structure 104 is: from the area with thin thickness of the doping structure 104 to the area with thick thickness of the doping structure 104, as shown by the solid line 4 in Figure 2, and the direction of the arrow is the direction of the lateral electric field. That is, when the conductivity type of the doping structure 104 is all P-type, the longitudinal electric field generated by the doping structure 104 is as shown by the solid line 2, and the lateral electric field is as shown by the solid line 4.

[0068] As shown in FIG2 , when the doping structure 104 includes more than two doping layers, the more than two doping layers are divided into a bottom doping layer 202, a middle doping layer 204 (two middle doping layers 204 are used as an example in FIG2 ), and a top doping layer 206 which are stacked sequentially in a direction away from the substrate 102. The doping concentration increases sequentially from the bottom doping layer 202 to the top doping layer 206, and the projection area of ​​the doping layer in a plane parallel to the substrate 102 (the plane where the second direction Y and the third direction Z are located) decreases sequentially.

[0069] It is understandable that when the doping structure 104 includes two doping layers, the doping layer close to the substrate 102 is the bottom doping layer 202 , and the doping layer away from the substrate 102 is the top doping layer 206 , and there is no middle doping layer 204 between the top doping layer 206 and the bottom doping layer 202 .

[0070] S106, forming a gate on a side of the doping structure away from the substrate.

[0071] A gate 106 is formed on a side of the doping structure 104 away from the substrate 102 . The gate 106 extends into the doping structure 104 along the first direction X. The gate 106 is electrically connected to the doping layer in the doping structure 104 .

[0072] In the above-mentioned method for preparing the solar cell, the doping structure 104 formed on the substrate 102 includes a plurality of doping layers of the same conductive type stacked in a first direction X perpendicular to the substrate 102, and the doping concentration of the doping layer away from the substrate 102 is greater than the doping concentration of the doping layer close to the substrate 102, so that the doping concentration of the doping layer gradually decreases along the direction close to the substrate 102, thereby increasing the longitudinal electric field of the solar cell in the first direction X, promoting the migration of majority carriers while reducing the movement of minority carriers; and, the difference in doping concentrations results in differences in the work functions of two adjacent doping layers, further increasing the migration of majority carriers and suppressing the movement of minority carriers. The projection area of ​​the doping layer far from the substrate 102 on the substrate 102 is smaller than the projection area of ​​the doping layer near the substrate 102 on the substrate 102, and a transverse electric field is formed in the doping structure 104, and the transverse electric field is parallel to the surface of the substrate 102, that is, the transverse electric field is parallel to the plane where the second direction Y and the third direction Z are located. Under the action of the transverse electric field, the carriers gather in the doping structure 104 in the area where the doping layer far from the substrate 102 is located, and the gate 106 is formed in the doping structure 104 in the area where the doping layer far from the substrate 102 is located to collect the carriers, reduce the number of gates 106, reduce the amount of gate materials, and reduce the cost of solar cells. Reduce surface recombination, increase the battery opening voltage and fill factor, and improve the efficiency of the battery.

[0073] In some embodiments, the substrate 102 includes a light-receiving surface and a backlight surface that are relatively arranged in a first direction X perpendicular to the substrate 102. The light-receiving surface is the surface of the solar cell facing the sunlight (the light-facing surface), and the backlight surface is the surface of the solar cell facing away from the sunlight. The doping structure 104 is located on at least one of the light-receiving surface and the backlight surface.

[0074] As shown in FIG2 , in some embodiments, before forming the doping structure 104 on the substrate 120, the method for preparing a solar cell further includes: forming a tunneling layer 108 on the surface of the substrate 102; wherein the doping structure 104 is located on the surface of the tunneling layer 108 away from the substrate 102, and the opposite surfaces of the tunneling layer 108 are in contact with the substrate 102 and the doping structure 104, respectively. The doping structure 104 and the tunneling layer 108 together form a field passivation effect, promote the separation of majority carriers and minority carriers, and the lateral electric field formed in the doping structure 104 increases the effect of field passivation. Exemplarily, the material of the tunneling layer 108 includes silicon dioxide.

[0075] Exemplarily, a plasma enhanced chemical deposition process is used, for example, the process gas includes silane and nitric oxide gas, to form a tunneling layer 108 on the first surface of the substrate 102. As an example, the thickness of the tunneling layer 108 in the first direction X is 1.5 nm-2 nm.

[0076] Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a solar cell after forming a middle doping layer in some embodiments, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a solar cell after forming the middle doping layer 204 in some other embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the substrate 102 includes a first region 1 and a second region 2, the first region 1 and the second region 2 are adjacent along a second direction Y parallel to the substrate 102, and the first region 1 and the second region 2 both extend along a third direction Z parallel to the substrate 102, the third direction Z intersects with the second direction Y, and further, the third direction Z is perpendicular to the second direction Y. The step of forming the doping structure 104 on the substrate 102 includes: steps S202-S206.

[0077] S202 , forming a bottom doping layer 202 on the substrate 102 , wherein the bottom doping layer 202 covers the first region 1 and the second region 2 .

[0078] Specifically, a deposition process, such as an atomic layer deposition process or a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process, is used to form a bottom doping layer 202 covering the first region 1 and the second region 2 on the substrate 102. Further, the bottom doping layer 202 has a thickness of 65nm-75nm.

[0079] S204 , selectively depositing on the surface of the bottom doping layer to form a middle doping layer, wherein the middle doping layer covers the first region and extends along the second direction to cover a portion of the second region.

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the step of selectively depositing on the surface of the bottom doping layer 202 to form the middle doping layer 204 includes: performing a selective deposition on the surface of the bottom doping layer 202 to form the middle doping layer 204 located on the surface of the bottom doping layer, wherein the middle doping layer 204 covers the first region 1 and extends along the second direction Y to cover a portion of the second region 2. The process is simple and easy to operate.

[0081] Specifically, a deposition process, such as an atomic layer deposition process, is used to selectively deposit the surface of the bottom doping layer 202 away from the substrate 102 to form a middle doping layer 204, the middle doping layer 204 covers the first region 1 and a portion of the second region 2 close to the first region 1, the doping concentration of the middle doping layer 204 is less than the doping concentration of the bottom doping layer 202, the middle doping layer 204 covers a portion of the top surface of the bottom doping layer 202 away from the substrate 102, and the bottom doping layer 202 exposed by the middle doping layer 204 is located in the second region 2 away from the first region 1. Exemplarily, a deposition process is performed using a mask as a mask to form the middle doping layer 204 on the surface of the bottom doping layer 202 away from the substrate 102, the mask exposes the portion of the bottom doping layer 202 where the middle doping layer 204 needs to be formed, and covers the portion where the middle doping layer 204 does not need to be formed.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the step of selectively depositing on the surface of the bottom doping layer 202 to form the middle doping layer 204 includes: performing multiple selective depositions on the surface of the bottom doping layer 202 to form multiple middle doping layers 204 stacked along the first direction X; wherein the size of the middle doping layer 204 close to the bottom doping layer 202 extending to the second region 2 is larger than the size of the middle doping layer 204 far from the bottom doping layer 202 extending to the second region 2. The process is simple and easy to operate.

[0083] Specifically, a deposition process, such as an atomic layer deposition process, is used to perform multiple selective depositions on the surface of the bottom doping layer 202 away from the substrate 102, the first selective deposition is performed on the surface of the bottom doping layer 202, and the subsequent selective deposition is performed on the surface of the middle doping layer 204 formed in the previous time, so as to obtain a plurality of middle doping layers 204 stacked along the first direction X, each layer of the middle doping layer 204 covers the first region 1 and a portion of the second region 2 close to the first region 1, the area of ​​the first region 2 close to the first region 1 covered by the middle doping layer 204 away from the bottom doping layer 202 is smaller than the area of ​​the first region 2 close to the first region 1 covered by the middle doping layer 204 close to the bottom doping layer 202, and the doping concentration of the middle doping layer 204 away from the bottom doping layer 202 is greater than the doping concentration of the middle doping layer 204 close to the bottom doping layer 202.

[0084] Exemplarily, a deposition process is performed using the mask as a mask, and a middle doped layer 204 is formed on a surface of the bottom doped layer 202 away from the substrate 102, and the mask exposes a portion where the middle doped layer 204 needs to be formed, and covers a portion where the middle doped layer 204 does not need to be formed. The portion exposed by the mask corresponding to the latter deposition process is smaller than the portion exposed by the mask corresponding to the former deposition process.

[0085] The size of the middle doped layer 204 close to the bottom doped layer 202 extending to the second region 2 is larger than the size of the middle doped layer 204 far from the bottom doped layer 202 extending to the second region 2. Figure 6 L1, L2 and L3 are used to characterize the size of each middle doping layer 204 covering the second region 2, L1 is larger than L2, and L2 is larger than L3.

[0086] S206 , selectively depositing on the middle doped layer to form a top doped layer covering the first region.

[0087] A deposition process, such as an atomic layer deposition process, is used to selectively deposit on the middle doping layer 204 to form a top doping layer 206 covering the first region, wherein the doping concentration of the top doping layer 206 is greater than the doping concentration of the middle doping layer 204.

The directions of the longitudinal electric field perpendicular to the substrate 102 and the lateral electric field parallel to the substrate 102 increased by the doping structure 104 are as follows: Fig. 9 As shown by the arrows in , the longitudinal electric field promotes the movement of electrons to the backlight side while suppressing the movement of holes. The transverse electric field causes the carriers to gather in the doping structure 104 covering the first region 1, reducing surface recombination, increasing the battery opening voltage and fill factor, and improving the efficiency of the battery.

The etching depth in the first direction X is the same as the sum of the thicknesses of the third middle doping material layer and the top doping material layer. Again, a laser etching process is used to etch away the second middle doping material layer covering the second sub-region 21 and the second sub-region 22 to form a middle doping layer 2043 composed of the third middle doping material layer of the first region 1 and the second sub-region 24. The middle doped layer 2042 composed of the second middle doped material layer of the first sub-region 1, the second sub-region 23 and the second sub-region 24 is etched and removed by 70 mm and 210 mm in the second direction Y and the third direction Z, respectively, and the etching depth in the first direction X is the same as the sum of the thicknesses of the second middle doped material layer, the third middle doped material layer and the top doped material layer; then, a laser etching process is used to etch and remove the first middle doped material layer covering the second sub-region 21, so as to form a first middle doped material layer composed of the first region 1, the second sub-region 22, the second sub-region 23 and the second sub-region 24. The middle doping layer 2041 is etched and removed by 35 mm and 210 mm in the second direction Y and the third direction Z, respectively. The etching depth in the first direction X is the same as the sum of the thicknesses of the first middle doping material layer, the second middle doping material layer, the third middle doping material layer and the top doping material layer. The remaining doping material structure is the bottom doping layer 202, and a doping structure 104 is obtained, wherein the doping structure 104 includes a bottom doping layer 202, a middle doping layer 2041, a middle doping layer 2042, a middle doping layer 2043 and a top doping layer 206.
