Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is a solar cell technology based on the principle of selective carriers and tunnel oxide passivation contact. Its cell structure is an N-type or P-type silicon substrate cell. An ultra-thin oxide layer is prepared on the back, and then a thin layer of doped silicon is formed. The two together form a passivation contact structure, which effectively reduces surface recombination and metal contact recombination.

[0003] There are currently two main production technology routes for TOPCon cells, namely LPCVD (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) and PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition). The conventional process preparation route for TOPCon cells includes the following steps: texturing - boron doping - removal of BSG (borosilicate glass) and alkali polishing - use LPCVD or PECVD to form a tunneling oxide layer and a Ploy layer - phosphorus doping - removal of BSG, PSG (phosphosilicate glass) and RCA (industry standard wet cleaning process) cleaning - ALD (atomic layer formation) - front and back anti-reflection film - metallization. The conventional process preparation routes of TOPCon batteries are limited by the different doping sources, temperatures and times of the P and N regions. Usually, boron doping is chosen before phosphorus doping. However, such a preparation route has the following shortcomings: 1. It is necessary to grow a thicker BSG before phosphorus doping, usually with a thickness greater than 100nm, to block alkali polishing and the alkali washing tank in the RCA. Then the thicker BSG will make the silicon wafer have a higher oxygen content and serious BO recombination, resulting in a decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency and photoinduced degradation; 2. It needs to go through two high-temperature processes (phosphorus doping process and boron doping process) and two removal plating processes during the battery preparation process. The process is cumbersome, the process time is long, and the equipment investment cost is high; 3. Most of them adopt a single-insertion form, which reduces production capacity.
