[0036] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following is a brief introduction to the drawings required for the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some examples or embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, the present application can also be applied to other similar scenarios based on these drawings without creative work. Unless it is obvious from the language environment or otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in the figures represent the same structure or operation.
[0037] As shown in this application and claims, unless the context clearly indicates an exception, the words "a", "an", "an" and / or "the" do not refer to the singular and may also include the plural. Generally speaking, the terms "include" and "comprise" only indicate the inclusion of the steps and elements that have been clearly identified, and these steps and elements do not constitute an exclusive list. The method or device may also include other steps or elements.
[0038] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions and numerical values of the parts and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The technology, method and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant field may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, method and equipment should be considered as a part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so that once a certain item is defined in an accompanying drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0039] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.
[0040] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
[0041] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as "first" and "second" to define components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this application. In addition, although the terms used in this application are selected from well-known and commonly used terms, some terms mentioned in the specification of this application may be selected by the applicant at his or her discretion, and their detailed meanings are explained in the relevant parts of the description of this article. In addition, it is required to understand this application not only by the actual terms used, but also by the meaning implied by each term.
[0042] Flowcharts are used in the present application to illustrate the operations performed by the system according to the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the preceding or following operations are not necessarily performed accurately in order. On the contrary, various steps may be processed in reverse order or simultaneously. At the same time, other operations may be added to these processes, or one or more operations may be removed from these processes.
[0043] Next, the preparation method of the solar cell and the solar cell of the present application are described through examples.
[0044] refer to Figure 1 The schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a solar cell in an embodiment is shown. The method in this embodiment includes the following steps S110 to S140.
[0045] Step S110: providing a solar cell precursor, wherein the solar cell precursor comprises a conductive layer and an insulating layer located on the conductive layer;
[0046] Step S120: forming a conductive paste covering a local area of the insulating layer, wherein the conductive paste has a triangular cross section;
[0047] Step S130: sintering the conductive paste to form a seed layer that passes through the insulating layer and contacts the conductive layer, wherein the seed layer has a triangular cross section;
[0048] Step S140: using an electroplating process to form an electroplating layer covering the seed layer exposed outside the insulating layer, so as to form a gate line including the seed layer and the electroplating layer, wherein the gate line has a triangular cross section.
[0049] Next, steps S110 to S140 are described in detail.
[0050] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in step S110, a solar cell precursor 210 is provided, and the solar cell precursor 210 includes a silicon substrate 211, a conductive layer 212 and an insulating layer 213, and the conductive layer 212 and the insulating layer 213 are stacked on the silicon substrate 211. The silicon substrate 211 can be N-type single crystal silicon or P-type single crystal silicon. The conductive layer 212 can be N-type silicon or P-type silicon. Specifically, the conductive layer 212 can be N-type single crystal silicon, P-type single crystal silicon, N-type polycrystalline silicon or P-type polycrystalline silicon. The insulating layer 213 can be a passivation layer, an anti-reflection layer or a passivation anti-reflection layer, and the insulating layer 213 includes one or more layers of a silicon oxide layer, a silicon nitride layer, and a silicon oxide layer.
[0051] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in step S120, a conductive paste 220 is formed, and the conductive paste 220 covers a local area of the insulating layer 213, and the conductive paste 220 has a triangular cross-section. Preferably, the conductive paste 220 covering the local area of the insulating layer 213 is directly formed, rather than first forming a conductive paste covering the entire surface of the insulating layer 213 and then selectively removing unnecessary conductive paste. The conductive paste 220 can be formed on the insulating layer 213 by printing, laser transfer, and other methods.
[0052] The conductive paste 220 contains metal particles, such as copper particles, silver particles, etc. It should be noted that due to the process, the characteristics of the conductive paste itself, etc., the cross section of the conductive paste 220 may not be a strict triangle, for example, the top of the conductive paste 220 has a certain curvature, the side of the conductive paste 220 is not a flat surface, etc., and the above situations are all within the protection scope of this application.
[0053] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in step S130, the conductive paste 220 is sintered. After the sintering process, the conductive paste 220 burns through the insulating layer 213 and is transformed into the seed layer 230, and the seed layer 230 is in contact with the conductive layer 212. During the sintering process, the shape of the cross section of the conductive paste 230 remains basically unchanged, so the seed layer 230 also has a triangular cross section. It should be noted that due to process, material and other reasons, the cross section of the seed layer 230 may not be a strict triangle. For example, the top of the seed layer 230 has a certain curvature, the side of the seed layer 230 is not a flat surface, etc., and the above situations are all within the scope of protection of this application.
[0054] refer to Figure 6 Schematic diagram of a triangular cross section of the seed layer 230 shown. In one embodiment, the angle α between the two sides of the seed layer 230 is equal to or less than 120°, for example, the angle α is 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110° or 120°, preferably, the angle α is equal to or less than 60°. The restriction of the angle α is conducive to limiting the size of the angle β of the electroplating layer formed in the subsequent steps, which will be described in detail later.
[0055] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in step S140, the electroplating layer 240 is electroplated on the seed layer 230. Specifically, the lower portion of the seed layer 230 is located in the insulating layer 213, the upper portion of the seed layer 230 is not covered by the insulating layer 213 and is exposed outside the insulating layer 213, and the electroplating layer 240 covers the seed layer exposed outside the insulating layer 213.
[0056] Figure 5 The cross section of the solar cell prepared by step S110 to step S140 is schematically shown, and the grid line of the solar cell includes a seed layer 230 and an electroplating layer 240. Since the electroplating layer 240 has a cross section with a triangular outer contour, the grid line has a triangular cross section. It should be noted that due to electroplating process, materials, etc., the outer contour of the cross section of the electroplating layer 240 may not be a strict triangle. For example, the top of the electroplating layer 240 has a certain curvature, the side of the electroplating layer 240 is not a flat surface, etc., and the above situations are all within the protection scope of this application.
[0057] The process of forming the gate line in the above embodiment does not need to form a seed layer covering the entire insulating layer, but forms the seed layer by directly forming a slurry on a local area of the insulating layer and sintering it, which saves the process step of removing the excess seed layer. In addition, the present application does not need to cover the insulating layer with an insulating material before electroplating the electroplating layer, which further simplifies the process steps.
[0058] refer to Figure 7 The schematic cross-sectional view of the gate line in one embodiment of the present application (also a schematic cross-sectional view of the seed layer 230 and the electroplating layer 240) is shown in FIG. Figure 7 In the embodiment, the angle β between the two sides of the electroplating layer 240 (also the two sides of the grid line) is equal to or less than 120°, for example, the angle β is 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110° or 120°, preferably, the angle β is equal to or less than 60°. The above setting of the size of the angle β is conducive to reflecting the light irradiated on the electroplating layer 240 to the active area of the solar cell, thereby increasing the total amount of light irradiated to the active area.
[0059] refer to Figure 8 The schematic cross-sectional view of the grid line in another embodiment shown, in order to improve the reflectivity of the electroplating layer 240 to the incident light, the electroplating layer 240 includes an inner layer 241 and an outer layer 242, the inner layer 241 is located between the seed layer 230 and the outer layer 242, and the reflectivity of the outer layer 242 is greater than the reflectivity of the inner layer 241. The reflectivity of the outer layer 242 can be made greater than the reflectivity of the inner layer 241 by limiting the material of the outer layer 242, for example, the material of the outer layer 242 is metallic silver, and the material of the inner layer 241 is metallic copper.
[0060] The above embodiment obtains a grid line with a triangular cross section by limiting the seed layer 230 to have a triangular cross section. To expand, when the electroplating layer 240 is electroplated on the seed layer 230, the metal is gradually deposited on the seed layer. Since the seed layer 230 has a triangular cross section, the outer contour of the cross section of the electroplating layer 240 finally formed is also a triangle (that is, the cross section of the grid line is a triangle). It can be seen from the above description that the size of the angle β can be controlled by controlling the size of the angle α, and the sizes between the two are positively correlated. In one embodiment, the angle β is substantially equal to the angle α, or slightly larger than the angle α.
[0061] refer to Fig. 9 A schematic cross-sectional view of a solar cell in an embodiment shown, wherein the solar cell in the embodiment has a tunneling oxide layer 214, the tunneling oxide layer 214 is located between the conductive layer 212 and the silicon substrate 211, and the conductive layer 212 includes N-type polysilicon or P-type polysilicon. The tunneling oxide layer 214 may include silicon oxide or aluminum oxide. The bottom end of the seed layer 230 in the gate line passes through the insulating layer 213 and contacts the conductive layer 212, and the electroplating layer 240 in the gate line covers the seed layer exposed outside the insulating layer 213 and is located on the insulating layer 213.
[0062] refer to Fig.10 A schematic cross-sectional view of a solar cell in another embodiment is shown, Fig.10 and Fig. 9 One difference is that Fig.10 The conductive layer 212 and the tunnel oxide layer 214 are disposed on a local region of the silicon substrate 211 . Fig.10 and Fig. 9 Another difference is that Fig.10 The solar cell precursor further includes a passivation layer 216, which is disposed on the conductive layer 212 and the silicon substrate 211 without the tunneling oxide layer 214, and the passivation layer 216 may include silicon oxide and / or aluminum oxide.
[0063] Continue to refer Fig.10 As shown, in one embodiment, the width W1 of the conductive layer 212 is equal to or greater than the width W2 of the seed layer 230. This helps to minimize the charge recombination loss caused by the metal-semiconductor contact.
[0064] In another embodiment, the width W3 of the electroplating layer 240 is equal to or greater than the width W1 of the conductive layer 212. The polysilicon in the conductive layer 212 has a high optical absorption coefficient, and the light absorbed by the conductive layer 212 does not contribute to power generation, that is, parasitic absorption loss. The width W3 being equal to or greater than the width W1 can prevent the incident light from being parasitically absorbed by the conductive layer 212, but being reflected by the electroplating layer 240 to the active area.
[0065] On the other hand, the present application also proposes a solar cell, Figure 5 As shown, the solar cell of this embodiment includes a silicon substrate 211, a conductive layer 212, an insulating layer 213 and gate lines.
[0066] In detail, the conductive layer 212 and the insulating layer 213 are stacked on the silicon substrate 211, and the gate line includes a seed layer 230 and an electroplating layer 240.

The method of forming N-type single crystal silicon (P-type single crystal silicon) can be to dope N-type dopant (P-type dopant) into the silicon substrate to transform a certain thickness of the silicon substrate into the conductive layer 212.
[0068] refer to Fig. 9 As shown, in another embodiment, the solar cell further includes a tunneling oxide layer 214, which is located between the conductive layer 212 and the silicon substrate 211, and the conductive layer 212 includes N-type polysilicon or P-type polysilicon. The tunneling oxide layer 214 can be silicon oxide or aluminum oxide.
[0069] refer to Fig.10As shown, in yet another embodiment, the conductive layer 212 and the tunnel oxide layer 214 are disposed on a local area of the silicon substrate 211, and the width W1 of the conductive layer 212 is equal to or greater than the width W2 of the seed layer 230. Fig.10 In the embodiment, the solar cell further includes a passivation layer 216, which may include silicon oxide or aluminum oxide.
[0070] The width W3 of the electroplating layer 240 may be equal to or greater than the width W1 of the conductive layer 212 .
[0071] In one embodiment, the insulating layer 213 includes one or more of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and silicon oxynitride.
[0072] refer to Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the angle α between the two side surfaces of the seed layer 230 is equal to or less than 120°. For example, the angle α is 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110° or 120°. Preferably, the angle α is equal to or less than 60°.
[0073] refer to Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the angle β between the two side surfaces of the electroplating layer 240 is equal to or less than 120°, for example, the angle β is 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110° or 120°, preferably, the angle α is equal to or less than 60°.
[0074] refer to Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the electroplating layer 240 includes an inner layer 241 and an outer layer 242 , the inner layer 241 is located between the seed layer 230 and the outer layer 242 , and the reflectivity of the outer layer 242 is greater than the reflectivity of the inner layer 241 .
