Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In crystalline silicon solar cells, there is serious recombination in the metal-semiconductor contact area, which has become an important factor restricting the efficiency development of crystalline silicon solar cells. One of the biggest advantages of TOPCon passivated structure solar cells is that they have a tunneling oxide layer passivation contact structure (p-poly structure) consisting of a tunneling oxide layer and a doped polysilicon layer, which can significantly reduce the recombination in the metal contact area and have good contact performance, which can greatly improve the efficiency of solar cells.
[0003] The existing TOPCon passivation structure of solar cells is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a silicon oxide layer (tunnel oxide layer) 2, a doped polysilicon layer 3, a passivation layer 4 and a metal electrode 5 which are sequentially stacked on a silicon substrate 1. The metal electrode 5 penetrates the passivation layer 4 and contacts the doped polysilicon layer 3.
[0004] In addition, there is a double poly structure TOPCon passivation structure solar cell, its structure is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a silicon oxide layer (tunneling oxide layer) 2, a first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31, a nitride silicide layer 32, a second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33, a passivation layer 4 and a metal electrode 5 which are sequentially stacked on a silicon substrate 1.
[0005] It can be seen that the core structure of the solar cell with TOPCon passivation structure is an ultra-thin silicon oxide layer (tunneling oxide layer), which can utilize the quantum tunneling effect to allow electrons to pass smoothly and prevent holes from recombination. However, when this technology is applied to P-type TOPCon passivation structure solar cells, it ignores the positive charge characteristics of silicon oxide itself, which will inhibit the tunneling of holes and is not conducive to improving the efficiency of P-type TOPCon passivation structure solar cells. Moreover, for solar cells with TOPCon passivation structure with double poly structure, its silicide layer 32 cannot be completed during the growth of poly layer, and additional equipment investment is required. In addition, this film layer greatly hinders the doping of boron source from the outer layer into the inner layer. The concentration of inner poly boron source is low, resulting in mismatch between the internal and external work functions of the tunneling oxide layer. Summary of the invention
[0006] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a P-type TOPCon passivation structure solar cell and its preparation method and application to address the above problems, so as to enhance the selective passage of holes, optimize the internal and external work functions of the tunneling oxide layer and reduce the production cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] For ease of understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail below. However, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments or examples described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments or examples is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.
[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific implementation methods or embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The optional scope of the term "and / or" used herein includes any one of two or more related listed items, and also includes any and all combinations of related listed items, and the combinations include any two related listed items, any more related listed items, or all related listed items.
[0022] One embodiment of the present invention discloses a P-type TOPCon passivation structure solar cell, such as Figure 3 As shown, the P-type TOPCon passivation structure solar cell includes: Silicon substrate 1; An aluminum oxide layer 21, wherein the aluminum oxide layer 21 is disposed on the surface of the silicon substrate 1; A first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31, wherein the first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31 is disposed on the surface of the aluminum oxide layer 21; A silicon oxide layer 321, wherein the silicon oxide layer 321 is disposed on the surface of the first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31; A second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33, wherein the second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33 is disposed on the surface of the silicon oxide layer 321; A passivation layer 4, wherein the passivation layer 4 is disposed on the surface of the second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33; A metal electrode 5 , wherein the metal electrode 5 penetrates the passivation layer 4 and contacts the second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33 .
[0023] The aluminum oxide layer 21 is used as a tunneling oxide layer of the cell structure. The other overall structures of the solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure disclosed in this embodiment are not limited, and all types of solar cell structures with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure are applicable.
[0024] In the solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure disclosed in this embodiment, the aluminum oxide layer 21 is used as a tunneling oxide layer. Based on the characteristics of the aluminum oxide layer 21 itself, it can achieve selective passage of holes, thereby improving the efficiency of the solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure.
[0025] In addition, considering the segregation of boron sources in silicon and silicon oxide, a large amount of boron sources will exist in the tunneling oxide layer formed by silicon oxide in the prior art. Especially in the push-junction oxidation process, a large amount of boron sources will be doped into the silicon substrate, and the entry of excessive boron sources will lead to an increase in Auger recombination, and ultimately lead to a decrease in passivation performance.
[0026] The solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure disclosed in this embodiment is made of aluminum oxide to make a tunneling oxide layer. Since the boron source has a small segregation coefficient in aluminum oxide, a large amount of boron source will not accumulate in the tunneling oxide layer disclosed in this embodiment. Therefore, in the process of push-junction oxidation, a large amount of boron source can be prevented from being doped into the silicon substrate, reducing the recombination center of the silicon substrate, improving the passivation performance, and on the other hand, effectively improving the efficiency of the solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure.
[0027] In addition, the solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure disclosed in this embodiment is also a double poly structure. However, the difference from the prior art is that between the first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31 and the second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33 of the solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure disclosed in this embodiment is a silicon oxide layer 321. The silicon oxide layer 321 can be grown on the first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31 without the need for additional equipment investment, which can reduce its production cost. And the silicon oxide layer 321 has less resistance to the diffusion of boron source doping than the nitride silicide layer 32, which makes the boron source concentration in the first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31 and the second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33 more balanced, thereby avoiding the problem of mismatch between the work function inside and outside the tunneling layer.
[0028] In another embodiment, the thickness of the aluminum oxide layer is 1.2 nm-1.6 nm. Specifically, the thickness of the aluminum oxide layer can be 1.2 nm, 1.6 nm, 1.3 nm, 1.4 nm, 1.5 nm, etc., which can be determined according to actual conditions in specific applications or production processes, and is not specifically limited here.
[0029] In another embodiment, the thickness of the first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31 is 60nm-80nm, the thickness of the silicon oxide layer 321 is 1nm-3nm, and the thickness of the second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33 is 100nm-120nm. Specifically, the thickness of the first boron-doped polysilicon layer 31 is 70nm, the thickness of the silicon oxide layer 321 is 2nm, and the thickness of the second boron-doped polysilicon layer 33 is 110nm.
[0030] Another embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for preparing a solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure, the method comprising: A silicon substrate is provided.
[0031] The silicon substrate is pretreated. The pretreatment process includes but is not limited to the following steps: Texturing: The silicon substrate is cleaned with hot alkali and hydrogen peroxide, and the alkali is used to anisotropically corrode the silicon substrate to form a dense pyramid structure on the surface of the silicon substrate to reduce the reflection of sunlight.
[0032] Diffusion: After cleaning and texturing, the PN junction, the core structure of the solar cell, is made on the silicon substrate through a boron diffusion process, and sufficient boron source is deposited in the BSG layer (borosilicate glass layer) as a laser doping source.
[0033] SE: The high temperature of the laser is used to melt the boron and silicon in the BSG layer, so that the boron source diffuses into the silicon substrate to form a heavily doped area, while other areas remain unchanged, thus obtaining a selective emitter structure.
[0034] Thermal oxidation: Through tubular thermal oxidation, a silicon oxide film is grown on the emitter of the silicon substrate to repair the oxide layer lost after SE. It can isolate the alkali and silicon reaction during alkaline polishing, thereby protecting the PN junction.
[0035] BSG removal: Use chain-type PSG removal equipment, protect the BSG (borosilicate glass layer) on the front diffusion surface with a water film, and remove the BSG on the back non-diffusion surface with a roller and HF solution.
[0036] The silicon substrate is subjected to alkali polishing. That is, a high-concentration alkali solution is used to react with the surface of the silicon substrate without BSD on the non-diffusion surface to form a polished surface with high reflectivity. For the alkali polishing process, the present embodiment provides an alkaline solution containing 1.50%-2.70% alkali solution (such as NaOH, KOH, etc.), 1.20%-1.75% polishing additive, and 96.1%-96.75% water, the reaction time is 150s-350s, and the reaction temperature is 57°C-75°C.
[0037] An aluminum oxide layer is formed on the surface of the silicon substrate.
[0038] Specifically, the above process uses a precursor containing an aluminum source and an oxygen source, and utilizes LPCVD (low pressure chemical vapor deposition), PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition), PEALD (plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition) or APCVD (atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) to form an aluminum oxide layer on the surface of the silicon substrate.
[0039] Taking the PECVD process as an example, H2O / O3 (water-oxygen mixture) and TMA (trimethylaluminum) are used as precursors. Specifically, the temperature is controlled at 280℃-310℃; the H2O / O3 pulse time is 6s-8s, the purge time is 12s-16s, and the process flow rate is 20sccm-25sccm; the TMA pulse time is 5.5s-7.5s, the purge time is 11s-14s, and the process flow rate is 22sccm-27sccm.
[0040] Preferably, the thickness of the aluminum oxide layer is controlled to be 1.2 nm-1.6 nm.
[0041] A first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is deposited on the surface of the aluminum oxide layer.
[0042] A silicon oxide layer is grown on the surface of the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer.
[0043] A second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is deposited on the surface of the silicon oxide layer.
[0044] Boron is diffused into the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer and the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer to form a first boron-doped polysilicon layer and a second boron-doped polysilicon layer.
[0045] Among them, the deposition temperature of the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer and the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is 550℃-570℃, the thickness of the first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is 60nm-80nm, and the thickness of the second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer is 100nm-120nm; the preparation temperature of the silicon oxide layer is 590℃-610℃, and the thickness of the silicon oxide layer is 1nm-3nm; the deposition temperature of boron diffusion is 810℃-870℃, the deposition time is 400s-600s, the boron source flow rate is 100sccm-350sccm, the oxidation flow rate is 450sccm-1000sccm, the nitrogen flow rate is 2400sccm-3500sccm, the advancement temperature is 910℃-930℃, the time is 1000s-2000s, the oxidation temperature is 910℃-930℃, the time is 2000s-3000s, the oxidation flow rate is 18000sccm-25000sccm, and the doping concentration is 3e 19 -6e 19 .
[0046] A passivation layer is formed on the surface of the second boron-doped polysilicon layer. The passivation layer is a silicon oxide layer or a composite layer of silicon oxide and aluminum nitride, and its manufacturing method is also one of the processes such as LPCVD, PECVD, PEALD or APCVD.
[0047] A metal electrode is fabricated on the passivation layer, the doped polysilicon layer is exposed by laser grooving, and the metal electrode is fabricated by screen printing.
[0048] In the method for preparing a solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure disclosed in this embodiment, the aluminum oxide layer is used as a tunneling oxide layer, which can achieve the selective passage of holes, thereby improving the efficiency of the solar cell with the P-type TOPCon passivation structure. In addition, the tunneling oxide layer made of aluminum oxide can also avoid a large amount of boron source doping into the silicon substrate during the push-junction oxidation process, reduce the recombination center of the silicon substrate, improve the passivation performance, and effectively improve the efficiency of the solar cell with the P-type TOPCon passivation structure from another perspective.
[0049] At the same time, the solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure disclosed in this embodiment is also a dual-poly structure. However, the difference from the prior art is that the solar cell with a P-type TOPCon passivation structure disclosed in this embodiment has a silicon oxide layer between the first boron-doped polysilicon layer and the second boron-doped polysilicon layer. The silicon oxide layer can be grown on the first boron-doped polysilicon layer without the need for additional equipment investment, which can reduce its production cost. And the silicon oxide layer has less hindrance to the diffusion of boron source doping than the nitride silicide layer, which makes the boron source concentration in the first boron-doped polysilicon layer and the second boron-doped polysilicon layer more balanced, thereby avoiding the problem of mismatch between the work function inside and outside the tunneling layer.
