Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of TOPCon solar cells, and in particular to a TOPCon photovoltaic solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] TOPCon (Tunneling Oxide Passivation Contact) technology is an important development direction for high-efficiency solar cells. By introducing ultra-thin tunneling oxide layers and passivation contact layers, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the cell are significantly improved. The core of this technology is to achieve comprehensive passivation of the cell surface, reduce carrier recombination losses, and optimize interface characteristics to improve carrier collection efficiency.

The existing polysilicon passivation contact structure has insufficient passivation performance and serious optical parasitic absorption, which limits the further improvement of cell efficiency. In addition, the realization of low film thickness and low parasitic absorption technology requires precise control of the composition and structure of the polysilicon thin film, which also puts higher requirements on the preparation process. Therefore, the present invention provides a TOPCon photovoltaic solar cell and a preparation method thereof to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0014] Preferably, in the (2) carbon / nitrogen doping and high temperature annealing step, ion implantation uses a high-precision ion implanter to implant carbon / nitrogen ions into the polysilicon substrate at a predetermined energy of 20-50 keV and a predetermined dose.

[0015] Preferably, in the (2) carbon / nitrogen doping and high temperature annealing step, the vapor phase doping is achieved by placing the polycrystalline silicon substrate in a mixed atmosphere containing a carbon source and a nitrogen source at a high temperature of 800-1000° C., and doping is achieved by chemical vapor deposition or thermal diffusion.

[0016] Preferably, in the (2) carbon / nitrogen doping and high temperature annealing step, the high temperature annealing is performed by placing the doped polycrystalline silicon substrate in a tube furnace in an inert gas or reducing gas atmosphere for a high temperature annealing treatment, and the annealing duration is 10-60 minutes.

[0017] Preferably, interface treatment is also included, utilizing the strong hydrogen-capturing ability of carbon / nitrogen atoms to introduce hydrogen during the high-temperature annealing process, that is, passing high-purity hydrogen into the reaction chamber so that hydrogen atoms combine with carbon / nitrogen atoms at the interface to form stable hydrogen bonds, thereby passivating interface defects.

[0018] Preferably, in the (6) metal electrode preparation step, the silver electrode conductive paste used for the metal electrode comprises, by mass, 60-70 parts of high-purity spherical silver powder, 30-40 parts of an organic carrier, 2-5 parts of a low-melting point lead-free glass powder, 0.5-1.5 parts of nano-silicon dioxide or nano-alumina, and 0.5-2 parts of polyethylene glycol; wherein the particle size of the high-purity spherical silver powder is 1-3 μm, the organic carrier is a mixture of a resin and a solvent in a mass ratio of 1:2.5-3, the resin comprises, by mass percentage, 50% of a polyurethane resin, 30% of an epoxy resin, and 20% of other additives, and the solvent comprises, by mass percentage, 30% of N-methylpyrrolidone, and 70% of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether or propylene glycol methyl ether acetate.

[0022] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention, by doping carbon / nitrogen atoms into polycrystalline silicon and subjecting it to high-temperature annealing treatment, allows carbon / nitrogen atoms to diffuse through the silicon oxide interface, penetrate into the crystalline silicon substrate, and form enrichment at the interface, and utilizes its hydrogen capture ability to increase the H concentration at the interface and in the crystalline silicon body, effectively passivating more defect states, thereby improving the passivation performance of the battery; at the same time, the introduction of C / N atoms can also reduce the work function of the material, increase the curvature of the TOPCon interface energy band, enhance the field passivation ability, and improve the selective collection efficiency of carriers. In addition, since the C / N atomic radius is small, the bond length formed by them and the Si atom is shorter, which helps to increase the energy of the material absorbing photons, that is, increase the band gap, thereby effectively reducing optical parasitic absorption.

[0023] 2. The present invention optimizes the crystal structure of the film, widens the optical band gap, and effectively reduces the free carrier concentration by precisely controlling the carbon / nitrogen atoms and active atom content in the novel polysilicon film, thereby not only maintaining the passivation performance but also achieving the low thickness and low parasitic absorption characteristics of the film, thereby significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery; by finely controlling the polysilicon preparation process, the precise construction of the localized passivation contact structure is achieved, ensuring that the surface of the solar cell obtains a comprehensive and efficient passivation effect, thereby greatly reducing carrier recombination losses.

[0024] 3. The present invention does not screen-print the main grid on the front of the battery, but laminates the copper wire composite film (organic film with embedded copper welding tape) on the surface of adjacent battery cells to form a series connection of battery cells. During the heating and lamination process, the welding tape and the fine grid form a stable electrical connection, which reduces the optical shielding area of ​​the component, improves the interface characteristics between the metal electrode and the silicon wafer surface, and improves the efficiency of the component. In addition, aesthetic tempered glazed glass, high-reflective backplane, high-reflective welding tape, POE film and other packaging materials are used to achieve no CTM loss in the component, reaching more than 100%, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the component.
