Correspondingly, the area of ​​the transition area of ​​the second semiconductor opening area is also significantly increased. When the second semiconductor layer is set, due to the increase in the contact surface area of ​​the second semiconductor opening area, the passivation film layer can be better coated on its side, reducing the carrier recombination rate at the boundary, and can avoid the second semiconductor layer in the second semiconductor opening area cannot be well coated on its surface and side due to the large height difference, thereby improving the open circuit voltage and battery conversion efficiency, and at the same time greatly saving the material cost of subsequent conventional conductive film layers and printing screens, which is conducive to mass production. The single-layer gradient velvet structure obtained by the velvet cleaning of the conventional back contact battery has a transition area that is not as gentle as the multi-layer gradient velvet structure of the present invention, and the area of ​​the transition area of ​​the second semiconductor opening area is reduced by 1 / 3 or more than the multi-layer gradient velvet structure of the present invention, so its passivation effect is significantly worse than that of the back contact battery of the multi-layer gradient velvet structure of the present invention.

[0037] The present invention controls the width of the second platform area within a suitable range, and the ratio of the width of the second platform area to the first platform area and the non-transition area within a suitable ratio range, so as to avoid the failure of the subsequent coating layer to play a good slope buffering role due to its too small width and inappropriate width ratio. The present invention also cooperates to control the height distance of the second platform area within a suitable range, which is conducive to achieving the best film passivation effect in conjunction with the width of the second platform area.

[0050] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a back contact battery with a multi-layer gradient suede structure, comprising a silicon wafer, first semiconductor layers spaced apart in the width direction of the back side of the silicon wafer, a second semiconductor opening region formed between two adjacent first semiconductor layers, the second semiconductor opening region comprising a non-transition region located in the middle, the surface of the non-transition region being a pyramid suede, the second semiconductor opening region further comprising: a first platform region and a second platform region sequentially arranged from the edge to the non-transition region in the width direction, a first bevel region between the first platform region and the second platform region, and a second bevel region between the second platform region and the non-transition region; Among them, the first platform area is a polished surface, the second platform area is a pyramid velvet surface, and the heights of the first platform area, the second platform area, and the non-transition area gradually decrease, and the first platform area, the first bevel area, the second platform area, the second bevel area, and the non-transition area continuously form a multi-layer gradient velvet structure; and the width of the second platform area is 3-8μm, and the ratio of the width of the second platform area to the first platform area and the non-transition area is 1: (0.01-0.17): (50-270), and the distance T2 between the top of the pyramid velvet surface of the second platform area and the surface of the silicon wafer area corresponding to the first semiconductor layer is 1-3μm, preferably 2-3μm. The present invention controls the width of the second platform area within a certain range to avoid the subsequent coating layer not having a good slope buffering effect due to its too small width.

[0051] The width ratio of the second platform area to the first platform area and the non-transition area is 1: (0.01-0.17): (50-270), and specifically can be 1: 0.01: 50, 1: 0.05: 50, 1: 0.06: 50, 1: 0.07: 50, 1: 0.1: 50, 1: 0.15: 50, 1: 0.17: 50, 1: 0.01: 60, 1: 0.01: 70, 1: 0.05: 70, 1: 0.17: 50. : 0.05:80, 1: 0.08:50, 1: 0.08:80, 1: 0.17:80, 1: 0.17:100, 1: 0.17:150, 1: 0.17:200, 1: 0.17:250, 1: 0.17:270, etc. and the range between any two point values, preferably 1: 0.08-0.17:80-270, further preferably 1: 0.08-0.17:80-230.

[0052] It can be understood that the first platform area and the second platform area are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width direction of the third non-transition area. Figure 4 As shown, there is a first slope region between the first platform region and the second platform region, and there is a second slope region between the second platform region and the non-transition region.

[0053] The back-contact battery also includes a second semiconductor layer alternately arranged with the first semiconductor layer, the second semiconductor layer is attached to the multi-layer gradient suede structure of the second semiconductor opening area, and its two ends extend outward to cover the part of the back side of the adjacent first semiconductor layer, and a first semiconductor opening area that does not cover the second semiconductor layer is opened on the back side of the first semiconductor layer.

[0054] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the distances from the polished surface of the first platform area and the top of the pyramid velvet surface of the non-transition area to the surface of the silicon wafer area corresponding to the first semiconductor layer are respectively counted as T1 and T3, T1 is 70-300nm, and T3 satisfies: T2: T3 = 1: (1.7-10), preferably 1: (1.7-3.5). By adopting this preferred solution, the slope gentleness from the surface of the silicon wafer area corresponding to the first semiconductor layer to the non-transition area can be reduced, achieving the best film coating effect, thereby being more conducive to improving the passivation quality of the film layer.

[0055] The present invention can further select a specific value within the above T2:T3 range. In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, T3 is 5-10 μm.

[0056] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the width of the first terrace region is 0.1-0.5 μm.

[0057] Preferably, the width of the non-transition region is 97%-99.9% of the total width W1 of the second semiconductor opening region.

[0058] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the total width W1 of the second semiconductor opening region is 400-800 μm.

[0059] Preferably, the width W2 of the first semiconductor opening region is 100-300 μm, and the width Wg of the isolation trench is 20-200 μm.

[0060] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the pyramid velvet surface in the non-transition zone satisfies: the height of the pyramid is in the range of 1-2 μm, and the radial dimension of the pyramid is in the range of 1-3 μm.

[0061] Preferably, the pyramid velvet surface of the second platform region satisfies: the height of the pyramid is in the range of 0.5-1 μm, and the radial dimension of the pyramid is in the range of 0.8-1.5 μm.

[0062] The corresponding height and radial dimension of the pyramid velvet surface in the present invention are obtained by SEM test measurement.

[0063] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the size of the pyramids corresponding to the non-transition region is larger than the size of the pyramids in the second platform region.

[0064] In the present invention, the pyramid velvet surfaces of the second platform area and the non-transition area are controlled to have respective appropriate sizes, wherein the pyramid velvet surface of the second platform area is smaller, which is more conducive to increasing the surface area of ​​the transition region between the first semiconductor area and the second semiconductor area and reducing the carrier recombination rate at the boundary; the pyramid velvet surface of the non-transition area is larger, which is conducive to enhancing the anti-reflection effect on the back side and improving the current density of the battery.

[0065] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the silicon wafer region corresponding to the first semiconductor opening region is a polishing region.

[0066] Preferably, the front side of the silicon wafer is a pyramid textured surface and satisfies: the height of the pyramid is within the range of 1-2 μm, and the radial dimension of the pyramid is within the range of 1-3 μm. Using a silicon wafer front side with a suitable pyramid size is more conducive to effectively reducing the reflectivity of the front side, thereby increasing the current density of the battery.

[0067] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first bevel region includes a first ridgeline structure and a first pyramid tip located at the top of the first ridgeline structure, and the second bevel region includes a second ridgeline structure and a second pyramid tip located at the top of the second ridgeline structure, and the following conditions are satisfied: the distribution density of the first pyramid tip in the first bevel region as a percentage of area is 1%-10%, and the distribution density of the second pyramid tip in the second bevel region as a percentage of area is 1%-50%. The corresponding indicators of each bevel region are obtained by SEM measurement. The second bevel region and the first bevel region with suitable structures of the present invention are more conducive to increasing the surface area of ​​the transition region and improving the film passivation quality of the second semiconductor layer.

[0068] It can be understood that the distribution density refers to the percentage of the area of ​​the corresponding pyramid tip to the total area of ​​the corresponding slope area.

[0069] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the second semiconductor opening region and the first semiconductor opening region are arranged in an interval and the area between them is a spacing region.

[0070] Further preferably, in the spacing region, a mask layer is disposed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer or no mask layer is disposed. The type and thickness of the mask layer can refer to the prior art, for example, the thickness of the mask layer is 50-80 nm.

[0071] Preferably, in the present invention, the back contact cell further comprises a front passivation layer and an anti-reflection layer formed on the front side of the silicon wafer.

[0072] Preferably, in the present invention, the back contact battery further comprises a conductive film layer laid on the outer surfaces of the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, and an isolation groove is provided on a portion of the conductive film layer located in the spacer region.

[0073] Further preferably, the back-contact battery further comprises a metal electrode arranged on the back side, and the metal electrode is arranged on the outer surface of the conductive film layer corresponding to each of the second semiconductor opening region and the first semiconductor opening region.

[0074] Further preferably, the isolation groove at least spans the polishing area corresponding to the first semiconductor opening area and the first platform area and the second platform area of ​​the second semiconductor opening area and part of the non-transition area. The isolation groove structure of the present invention is used in combination with the multi-layer gradient velvet structure of the present invention, so that when the subsequent film layer is printed, the buffering effect of the multi-layer gradient velvet structure of the second semiconductor opening area prolongs the service life of the screen, thereby reducing the consumables cost of the printing screen, and significantly improving leakage and short circuit phenomena. In the prior art, in order to improve leakage and short circuit phenomena, the isolation groove needs to span the polishing area and the adjacent velvet area at the same time, so that the opening of the printing screen is located within a larger height difference range during printing. After multiple printings, the service life of the screen is significantly reduced, and the consumables cost of the screen is increased.

[0075] Further preferably, the thickness of the conductive film layer is 40-80nm, preferably 40-60nm. Due to the multi-layer gradient velvet structure of the second semiconductor opening region, the conductive film layer can be well formed on its surface and side without thickening, thereby ensuring that the carrier transmission of the passivation film layer at the boundary is not affected. In order not to affect the conductivity at the boundary, conventional post-velvet structures usually adopt the method of thickening the conductive film layer to avoid this defect, thereby significantly increasing the material cost of the conductive film layer.

[0076] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first semiconductor layer includes a first passivation layer and a first doped silicon layer, the second semiconductor layer includes a second passivation layer and a second doped silicon layer, the first passivation layer and the second passivation layer are each independently a tunneling oxide layer or an intrinsic silicon layer, and the first doped silicon layer and the second doped silicon layer are each independently polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon. The thickness and doping concentration of each corresponding film layer can refer to the prior art and be selected according to actual needs. One of the first doped silicon layer and the second doped silicon layer is N-type and the other is P-type.

[0077] Preferably, the first semiconductor layer includes a tunneling oxide layer and a first doped polycrystalline layer sequentially arranged on the back side, and the second semiconductor layer includes an intrinsic silicon layer and a second doped silicon layer sequentially arranged on the back side. The second doped silicon layer is amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon. The preferred combined passivation structure of the present invention is used in combination with a multi-layer gradient velvet structure, which is more conducive to improving the passivation performance of the second semiconductor layer.

[0078] Further preferably, the thickness of the tunnel oxide layer is 1-2 nm, the thickness of the first doped polycrystalline layer is 70-300 nm, and the effective doping concentration is greater than 5e18 cm -3The thickness of the intrinsic silicon layer is 5-15nm, the thickness of the second doped silicon layer is 5-20nm, and the effective doping concentration is 1e18cm -3 -9e20cm -3 .

[0079] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a post-texturing preparation method for a back contact battery, which is used to prepare the back contact battery with a multi-layer gradient velvet structure as described in the first aspect, and the post-texturing preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0080] S101, provide double-sided polished silicon wafers;

[0084] S105, then performing a second solution etching, and then selecting whether to remove the mask layer as needed; the second solution etching forms a second platform area on the first transition slope, and parts of the first transition slope located on both sides of the second platform area form a first slope area and a second slope area respectively, and the non-transition middle area forms a non-transition area, and a second texturing is performed on the front side of the silicon wafer to form a pyramid texture surface;

[0086] S107 , performing a second etching opening on a portion of the second semiconductor layer on the back side to form a first semiconductor opening region spaced apart from the second semiconductor opening region.

[0087] In the post-texturing preparation method of the present invention, the principle of forming a multi-layer gradient texture structure by the first solution etching and the second solution etching can be speculated as follows:

[0088] During the first solution etching process in S104, the corresponding first etching solution, in addition to etching downward, will also etch the first semiconductor layer below the edge of the mask layer along the plane. Since the first semiconductor layer is a structure of a tunneling oxide layer and a first doped polysilicon layer, it is easier to etch than a silicon wafer. Therefore, a portion of the doped polycrystalline layer below the edge of the mask layer is removed by side etching. During the first solution etching process, the first semiconductor layer under the mask layer at the edge of the second semiconductor opening area will be gradually removed during the texturing process. Since the tunneling oxide layer in the mask layer and the first semiconductor layer has the function of preventing etching, a first platform area of ​​the polishing surface is formed, and a first groove structure is formed at the same time. The first groove structure includes a first transition bevel and a non-transition middle area. During the first solution etching, the first etching solution will cause side etching of a portion of the first semiconductor layer in the area below the edge of the mask layer, causing the mask layer to separate from the silicon wafer, and to be concave downward and suspended in the corresponding solution. In the subsequent cleaning process, the suspended portion of the mask layer in the side etching area will be removed;

[0089] After the second solution etching, the first transition slope forms a first slope area, a second platform area, and a second slope area. At the same time, the non-transition middle area is subjected to secondary texturing etching to form a non-transition area, thereby forming a second semiconductor layer with a multi-layer gradient texture structure. In a specific embodiment, the SEM image of the multi-layer gradient texture structure is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in another specific embodiment, the SEM image of the multi-layer gradient suede structure is as shown Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be clearly seen that it has a first platform area 21, a second platform area 22 and a non-transition area 23. The width of the second platform area is related to the corrosion rate of the second etching solution used in the second solution etching. The faster the corrosion rate, the wider its width. By adjusting the alkali concentration and reaction temperature of the second etching solution, the width of the second platform area can be controlled within a suitable range and its ratio with the width of the first platform area and the non-transition area can be appropriate, so as to avoid the poor slope buffering effect on the subsequent coating layer due to its too small width and inappropriate width ratio.

[0090] The first bevel region and the second bevel region of the present invention are inclined surfaces with a certain angle, and both the first bevel region and the second bevel region include a corresponding ridgeline structure and a cross-sectional structure of a first pyramid tip located at the top of the ridgeline structure. <100> Face to face <111> The corrosion rate of the surface varies greatly, up to 100-400 times, so the silicon <111> The surface will stop by itself during the corrosion process, forming a parallel ridge structure.

[0091] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first etching solution used in the first solution etching in S104 is an aqueous solution containing alkali and optional texturing additives, and the mass percentage of the alkali contained in it is 5%-10%, preferably 6%-10%. When the first etching solution contains the texturing additive, the mass percentage of the texturing additive is 0.1%-0.5%; the conditions of the first solution etching include: etching time is 1-5min, and etching temperature is 75℃-85℃.

[0092] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the second etching solution used in the second solution etching in S105 is an aqueous solution containing alkali and a texturing additive, the mass percentage of alkali contained in it is 1%-3%, preferably 1.6%-3%, and the mass percentage of the texturing additive contained in it is 0.5%-1%; the conditions of the second solution etching include: etching time is 8-12min, and etching temperature is 75℃-85℃.

[0093] In the present invention, the alkali can be potassium hydroxide and / or sodium hydroxide.

[0094] The texturing additive in the present invention is a commercially available product in the art and can be obtained through commercial purchase, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0095] In the present invention, the size and structure of the first platform area, the first bevel area, the second platform area, the second bevel area, and the non-transition area can be regulated by controlling the composition of the corresponding etching solution and the etching conditions.

[0096] The method for removing the mask layer in S105 of the present invention can refer to the prior art, for example, it can be preferably treated by solution etching, and the etching solution used is a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and water, and the mass concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 5%-10%. Further preferably, the conditions for solution etching treatment include: treatment temperature of 20°C-30°C, reaction time of 60-600s.

[0097] The present invention S102 may also include other conventional steps, such as removing the phosphosilicate glass layer on the surface of the first semiconductor layer after forming the first semiconductor layer (preferably by using a hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution), and then depositing a mask layer.
