Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular relates to a back structure of a TBC cell and a preparation method thereof, a TBC cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] TOPCon cells, due to their unique structure, achieve selective carrier transmission, thereby reducing recombination, increasing the cell's open voltage and fill factor, and improving the cell conversion efficiency. The back contact of a BC cell means that both the emitter electrode and the base electrode are located on the back. On the one hand, the back contact cell structure transfers the emitter electrode to the back of the cell, thereby reducing or eliminating the shading loss of the front grid line and improving the cell efficiency; while the TBC (TOPCon+BC) cell structure uses the TOPCon structure for both polarities (P-type / N-type) in the back structure of the cell, achieving high current while meeting high open voltage and fill factor, thereby greatly improving the cell efficiency.

[0003] In industrialization, TBC cells usually prepare P-type doped polysilicon first, and then prepare N-type doped polysilicon. Before preparing N-type doped polysilicon, the P-type doped polysilicon layer needs to be removed. Therefore, the removal of P-type doped polysilicon is one of the keys to the preparation of TBC cells. Currently, the methods for removing the P-type doped polysilicon layer mainly include mask combined with wet etching or laser combined with wet etching, among which the more commonly used method is laser combined with wet etching.

[0004] The removal of the P-type doped polysilicon layer of the TBC battery is mainly affected by the doping concentration of the polysilicon. In particular, laser treatment will increase the surface concentration of the P-type doped polysilicon layer, making it difficult to etch the polysilicon layer. The existing method of reducing the doping concentration to solve the problem will increase the contact resistance, which is not conducive to improving the efficiency of the battery. Alternatively, new laser equipment such as femtosecond lasers can be used, but this will increase the equipment cost and is not conducive to reducing manufacturing costs.

[0005] For another example, in the patent application with publication number CN118610280 A, the etching difficulty of the P-type doped polysilicon layer is reduced by reducing the thickness of the P-type doped polysilicon layer. However, this solution will, on the one hand, cause the contact resistivity between the metal electrode and the polysilicon layer to increase, and on the other hand, will make it easier for the metal slurry to burn through the polysilicon, thereby destroying the structure, reducing the battery efficiency, and causing the battery yield to be low. Summary of the invention

[0007] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a back structure of a TBC cell and a TBC cell having the back structure, wherein the metal electrode of the back structure has good contact with the polysilicon layer;

[0008] At the same time, the present invention also provides a preparation process for a TBC battery. On the basis of not reducing the thickness of the polysilicon layer, a low-concentration doping area is set on the outer surface of the polysilicon layer so that the metal electrode of its back structure has good contact with the polysilicon layer, while reducing the difficulty of etching the polysilicon layer and improving the yield of the battery.

[0176] Beneficial Effects

[0177] (1) The back structure of the TBC cell or the TBC cell with a back structure provided by the present invention has a first doped polysilicon layer provided with a high-concentration doping region and a low-concentration doping region, which ensures good contact between the metal electrode and the polysilicon. At the same time, the cell has a low contact resistance and a high conversion efficiency.

[0178] (2) The removal of the first doped polysilicon layer of the TBC cell is mainly affected by the doping concentration of the polysilicon, especially after laser treatment, which will affect the polysilicon layer, making the subsequent wet etching of the polysilicon difficult. To solve this problem, one of the treatment methods is to reduce the doping concentration of the first doped polysilicon layer. This method increases the contact resistance between the metal electrode and the polysilicon, which is not conducive to the efficiency of the cell; the second treatment method is to reduce the thickness of the first doped polysilicon layer. This method will also increase the contact resistance between the metal electrode and the polysilicon, and also increase the risk of the metal slurry burning through the polysilicon, thereby destroying the structure and reducing the yield and efficiency of the cell; the third treatment method is to use new laser equipment, such as femtosecond lasers, but this will increase the equipment cost and is not conducive to reducing manufacturing costs.

[0179] In this context, the back structure of the TBC battery or the preparation method of the TBC battery provided by the present invention, while ensuring that the thickness of the first doped polysilicon layer is not reduced, reduces the adverse effects of laser patterning on the subsequent wet etching of polysilicon by setting a low-concentration doping area, thereby ensuring the effect of wet etching of polysilicon, and further reducing the difficulty of the preparation process and improving the battery manufacturing yield while ensuring the battery performance.

[0180] (3) The back structure of the TBC battery or the method for preparing the TBC battery provided by the present invention requires that the low doping concentration N1 of the low doping area is 1 E19atom / cm 3 ~4E19atom / cm 3At the same time, the maximum doping concentration N2 of the low-concentration doping area is required not to exceed the doping concentration of the high-concentration doping area, and the maximum doping concentration N2 of the low-concentration doping area is required to be 5E19atom / cm 3 ~1E20tom / cm 3

[0181] It can further ensure that the adverse effects of laser patterning on subsequent wet etching of polysilicon are reduced, and the effect of wet etching of polysilicon is ensured, thereby reducing the difficulty of the preparation process and improving the battery manufacturing yield on the basis of ensuring battery performance.

[0182] (4) On the basis of the aforementioned requirements for the doping concentrations of the low-concentration doping region and the high-concentration doping region, it is further required that the ratio of the thickness of the low-concentration doping region (D2) to the thickness of the first doped polysilicon layer (D1) satisfies 2<D1 / D2<7. Based on this, it is possible to reduce the adverse effects of laser patterning on the subsequent wet etching of polysilicon and ensure the effect of wet etching of polysilicon, while avoiding the adverse effects of causing the contact resistance between the metal electrode and the polysilicon.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the first doped polysilicon layer 212 is P-type doped, and its thickness D1 is 50-400 nm. On this basis, the thickness D2 of the low-concentration doped region 212 b is 10 nm < D2 < 150 nm, and the thickness of the high-concentration doped region 212 a is D1-D2; in terms of concentration, the doping concentration of the high-concentration doped region 212 a is 5E19 atom / cm 3 ~1E20tom / cm 3 ;like Figure 3 In the direction A (towards the base silicon wafer), the doping concentration of the low-concentration doped region increases from N1 to N2 in thickness.
