[0063] The term "comprising" in the specification and claims of the present application and the drawings is synonymous with "including", "containing" or "characterized by", and is inclusive or open-ended, and does not exclude additional undescribed elements or method steps. "Comprising" is a technical term used in the claim language, meaning that the elements are present, but other elements may also be added and still form a structure or method within the scope of the claim.

[0064] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "about" in this application means to include a small change (up to + / -10%) from the stated value.

[0065] In the first aspect, the present application provides a hybrid passivated back contact battery, including a silicon wafer, the silicon wafer having a front side and a back side; a third tunneling oxide layer, a first amorphous silicon layer and a first anti-reflection layer are sequentially arranged on the front side of the silicon wafer; along the X-axis direction of the back side of the silicon wafer, a first polishing area and a second polishing area are alternately arranged on the back side of the silicon wafer; along the Z-axis direction of the back side of the silicon wafer, at least a first semiconductor layer is arranged on the first polishing area; along the Z-axis direction of the back side of the silicon wafer, at least a second semiconductor layer is arranged on the second polishing area; a texturing area is arranged between the first polishing area and the adjacent second polishing area, and the texturing area isolates the first semiconductor layer from the second semiconductor layer; a fourth tunneling oxide layer, a second amorphous silicon layer and a second anti-reflection layer are sequentially arranged on the first polishing area, the texturing area and the second polishing area; the refractive index of the first amorphous silicon layer is 2.2-4, and the refractive index of the first amorphous silicon layer gradually decreases from the third tunneling oxide layer to the first anti-reflection layer.

[0066] The present invention uses a tunneling oxide layer, an amorphous silicon layer, and an anti-reflection layer to replace aluminum oxide and silicon nitride in the texturing area on the front and back of the battery, thereby improving the passivation effect of the battery and thus improving the battery efficiency. In addition, the tunneling oxide layer, amorphous silicon layer, and anti-reflection layer on the front and back sides can be deposited and formed in the same tubular PECVD, further simplifying the process steps and reducing the equipment cost.

[0067] The present application creatively adopts a gradient refractive index design in the amorphous silicon layer, the refractive index of the first amorphous silicon layer is 2.2-4, and the refractive index of the first amorphous silicon layer gradually decreases from the third tunneling oxide layer to the first anti-reflection layer. This structure can further enhance the optical performance of the battery, increase the light transmittance of the front side of the battery, reduce the reflectivity, and thus increase the short-circuit current of the battery.

[0068] In some embodiments, the thickness of the third tunnel oxide layer is 0.5-1.5 nm, and may be 0.5 nm, 0.7 nm, 1 nm, 1.2 nm, 1.5 nm, and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness of the third tunnel oxide layer is 0.9 nm.

[0069] In some embodiments, the thickness of the fourth tunnel oxide layer is 1-2 nm, which may be 1 nm, 1.2 nm, 1.4 nm, 1.6 nm, 1.8 nm, 2 nm, and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness of the fourth tunnel oxide layer is 1.2 nm.

[0070] In some embodiments, the thickness ratio of the third tunnel oxide layer and the fourth tunnel oxide layer is 1:1-2, which can be 1:1, 1:1.2, 1:1.4, 1:1.6, 1:1.8, 1:2 and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness ratio of the third tunnel oxide layer and the fourth tunnel oxide layer is 1:1.33.

[0071] The tunneling oxide layer can neutralize the unsaturated bonds at the interface and provide excellent surface chemical passivation effect. The presence of the tunneling oxide layer is crucial to reducing the recombination of carriers on the surface of the silicon wafer, thereby improving the efficiency of the battery. The present application makes differentiated settings for the thickness of the tunneling oxide layer on the front and back of the battery, corresponding to the different passivation requirements of the front and back sides, respectively, and at the same time reasonably sets the thickness ratio of the third tunneling oxide layer and the fourth tunneling oxide layer, which can further optimize the chemical passivation effect of the battery and improve the conversion efficiency of the battery. The present application reasonably sets the thickness of the third tunneling oxide layer and the fourth tunneling oxide layer, taking into account both the transmittance enhancement and anti-reflection and passivation effects on the front of the battery, and mainly considering the passivation effect on the back of the battery. The synergistic effect of the reasonable thickness ratio of the two is conducive to further improving the battery efficiency.

[0072] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first amorphous silicon layer is 2-20 nm, which may be 2 nm, 6 nm, 10 nm, 14 nm, 18 nm, 20 nm and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness of the first amorphous silicon layer is 5 nm.

[0073] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second amorphous silicon layer is 4-40nm, which can be 4nm, 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 35nm, 40nm and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness of the second amorphous silicon layer is 10nm.

[0074] In some embodiments, the thickness ratio of the first amorphous silicon layer and the second amorphous silicon layer is 1:1.2-5, which can be 1:1.2, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness ratio of the first amorphous silicon layer and the second amorphous silicon layer is 1:2.

[0075] The thickness of the amorphous silicon layer directly affects its passivation effect on the surface of the silicon wafer. The present application adopts a suitable thickness of the amorphous silicon layer, which can effectively passivate the dangling bonds on the surface of the silicon wafer, reduce defect recombination, and thus increase the minority carrier lifetime. At the same time, the appropriate thickness can ensure sufficient light transmittance while maintaining a good passivation effect. The present application makes differentiated settings for the thickness of the amorphous silicon layer on the front and back of the battery, corresponding to the different passivation requirements of the front and back, respectively, and reasonably sets the thickness ratio of the first amorphous silicon layer and the second amorphous silicon layer, which can effectively optimize the chemical passivation effect of the battery and improve the conversion efficiency of the battery. The present application reasonably sets the thickness of the first amorphous silicon layer and the second amorphous silicon layer, taking into account both the anti-reflection and passivation effects on the front of the battery, and mainly considering the passivation effect on the back of the battery. The synergistic effect of the reasonable thickness ratio of the two is conducive to further improving the battery efficiency.

[0076] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first anti-reflection layer is 65-120 nm, and can be 65 nm, 80 nm, 100 nm, 120 nm, and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness of the first anti-reflection layer is 75 nm.

[0077] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second anti-reflection layer is 40-90 nm, and can be 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 90 nm, and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness of the second anti-reflection layer is 60 nm.

[0078] In some embodiments, the thickness ratio of the first anti-reflection layer and the second anti-reflection layer is 1:0.3-1, which can be 1:0.3, 1:0.4, 1:0.5, 1:0.6, 1:0.7, 1:0.8, 1:0.9, 1:1 and any value therebetween. Preferably, the thickness ratio of the first anti-reflection layer and the second anti-reflection layer is 1:0.8.

[0079] Preferably, the first anti-reflection layer and the second anti-reflection layer are both silicon dielectric films, more specifically, they can be one of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and silicon oxide. Preferably, the first anti-reflection layer and the second anti-reflection layer are both silicon nitride layers.

[0080] Most of the back surface of the back contact battery is polished. To adapt to the reflection effect on the polished surface, the thickness of the second anti-reflection layer is set thinner in this application to adapt to the specific passivation requirements of the back surface. This application creatively differentiates the thickness of the passivation layer structure on the front and back sides, corresponding to the different passivation requirements of the front and back sides, which can further improve the passivation effect of the battery, thereby improving the battery efficiency.

[0081] In some embodiments, the refractive index of the second amorphous silicon layer is 2.2-4, and the refractive index of the second amorphous silicon layer gradually decreases from the fourth tunneling oxide layer to the second anti-reflection layer. The present application also adopts a gradient refractive index design on the amorphous silicon layer on the back of the battery. The gradient refractive index design of the second amorphous silicon layer is mainly conducive to improving the bifaciality of the battery (i.e., the amount of electricity generated by the battery after solar energy is reflected from the ground), thereby improving the battery conversion efficiency.

[0082] The gradient of the refractive index of the amorphous silicon layer can optimize the propagation path of light in the battery structure, thereby improving the efficiency of light absorption. This design can cause more reflection and refraction of light when entering the amorphous silicon layer, increase the interaction time between light and the material, and thus improve the efficiency of photogenerated carrier generation. The gradient of the refractive index of the amorphous silicon layer helps to reduce the loss of light in the amorphous silicon layer. Through the gradient design, the reflection loss of light at the interface can be reduced, so that more light energy can be absorbed and converted into electrical energy.

[0083] In some embodiments, the hybrid passivated back contact cell further includes a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode passes through the fourth tunneling oxide layer, the second amorphous silicon layer and the second anti-reflection layer to contact the first semiconductor layer; the second electrode passes through the fourth tunneling oxide layer, the second amorphous silicon layer and the second anti-reflection layer to contact the second semiconductor layer. It can be understood that the first electrode and the second electrode are divided into two polarities, and the polarities of the first electrode and the second electrode are different.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first semiconductor layer includes at least a first tunneling oxide layer and a first doped polycrystalline layer, the thickness of the first tunneling oxide layer is 1-2 nm; the thickness of the first doped polycrystalline layer is 150-250 nm. Those skilled in the art can select the effective doping concentration of the first doped polycrystalline layer according to actual needs, and the present application has no particular restrictions on this.

[0085] In some embodiments, the second semiconductor layer includes a second tunneling oxide layer and a second doped polycrystalline layer, the thickness of the second tunneling oxide layer is 1-2 nm; the thickness of the second doped polycrystalline layer is 150-250 nm. Those skilled in the art can select the effective doping concentration of the second doped polycrystalline layer according to actual needs, and this application has no particular restrictions on this.

[0102] When there is no second mask layer between the second opening region and the third opening region, the second opening region and the third opening region together form a composite opening region, and the width of the composite opening region is 400-800 μm.

[0103] A preferred solution is to form a composite opening area with the second opening area and the third opening area. When this solution is adopted, the second semiconductor layer remaining on the first semiconductor layer can be completely removed in the subsequent S107, reducing the parasitic absorption of the second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor, thereby increasing the battery current.

[0106] The textured area is located in the third opening area, and the width of the third opening area: the width of the textured area = 1.1-6:1. If the width of the textured area is too narrow, it is easy to cause poor isolation effect and thus cause micro short circuit, thereby affecting parallel resistance and battery efficiency. If the width of the textured area is too wide, it is easy to increase the loss of lateral carrier transmission and thus increase the series resistance, thereby affecting battery efficiency. The present application can ensure the insulation effect while avoiding affecting battery efficiency by reasonably setting the width of the textured area.

[0112] Preferably, the refractive index of the second amorphous silicon layer is 2.2-4, and the refractive index of the second amorphous silicon layer gradually decreases from the fourth tunneling oxide layer to the second anti-reflection layer. The present application also adopts a gradient refractive index design on the amorphous silicon layer on the back of the battery. The gradient refractive index design of the second amorphous silicon layer is mainly conducive to improving the bifaciality of the battery (i.e., the amount of electricity generated by the battery after solar energy is reflected from the ground).

The order can be changed according to actual production needs, thereby expanding the adjustability of the deposition process.

[0116] The present application adopts a tunneling oxide layer, an amorphous silicon layer, and an anti-reflection layer to replace aluminum oxide and silicon nitride in the texturing area on the front and back of the battery, thereby improving the passivation effect of the battery and thus improving the battery efficiency. In addition, the tunneling oxide layer, amorphous silicon layer, and anti-reflection layer on the front and back sides can be deposited and formed in the same tubular PECVD, which further simplifies the process steps and reduces the equipment cost.

[0177] Comparative Example 3

[0179] Comparative Example 4

[0180] The method of Example 1 is referred to, except that in S101, the silicon wafer 1 is a P-type silicon wafer.

[0181] Test Case

[0182] The back contact cells obtained in the above-mentioned embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to various performance tests, and the results are shown in Table 1. Among them, the short-circuit current and equipment cost of each embodiment and comparative example were converted using embodiment 1 as a reference benchmark, the data of embodiment 1 was normalized benchmark 1, and other examples were converted based on embodiment 1, such as the short-circuit current of comparative example 1 / the short-circuit current of embodiment 1 was 0.994.

[0183] Table 1

[0184]

[0185] It can be seen from the above results that, because the second semiconductor layer still remains on the first semiconductor layer in the current prior art, the basic structure of Comparative Example 1 is prepared by the method of Example 2. Comparison between Comparative Example 1 and Example 2 shows that the present application uses a tunneling oxide layer, an amorphous silicon layer, and an anti-reflection layer to replace aluminum oxide and silicon nitride in the texturing area on the front and back of the battery, thereby improving the short-circuit current of the battery, improving the passivation effect of the battery, and thus improving the battery efficiency. In addition, the tunneling oxide layer, amorphous silicon layer, and anti-reflection layer on the front and back sides can be deposited and formed in the same tubular PECVD, which further simplifies the process steps and reduces the equipment cost.

[0186] Furthermore, according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the present application adopts a gradient refractive index design for the first amorphous silicon layer on the front side of the silicon wafer. This structure can further improve the passivation effect of the battery and reduce the equipment cost.

[0187] Furthermore, according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, most of the back side of the back-contact battery is a polished surface. In order to adapt to the reflection effect on the polished surface, the present application sets the thickness of the second anti-reflection layer to be thinner to adapt to the specific passivation requirements of the back side, which can further improve the passivation effect of the battery, thereby improving the battery efficiency.

[0188] Furthermore, according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that, compared with the use of P-type batteries, the N-type battery of the present application can obtain higher short-circuit current and battery conversion efficiency.

[0189] Furthermore, according to Example 1 and Example 2, compared with the second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer not being completely removed, the preferred solution of the present application is to form a composite opening area with the second opening area and the third opening area. When this solution is adopted, the second semiconductor layer remaining on the first semiconductor layer can be completely removed in the subsequent S107, reducing the parasitic absorption of the corresponding second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor, thereby increasing the battery current and further improving the battery conversion efficiency.

[0190] Furthermore, according to Example 1 and Example 3, it can be seen that compared with the second amorphous silicon layer having a fixed refractive index design, the second amorphous silicon layer in the preferred scheme of the present application has a gradient refractive index design. The gradient refractive index design of the second amorphous silicon layer is more conducive to improving the bifaciality of the battery (i.e., the amount of electricity absorbed by the battery after solar energy is reflected from the ground), which can increase the short-circuit current and thereby improve the battery conversion efficiency.

[0191] Furthermore, according to Example 1 and Example 4, by adopting the thickness of the third tunneling oxide layer, the first amorphous silicon layer and the first anti-reflection layer preferred in the present application and setting a suitable thickness ratio between the front and back sides, the passivation effect of the battery can be improved, the short-circuit current can be increased, and the battery efficiency can be thereby improved.

[0192] Furthermore, according to Example 1 and Example 5, by adopting the preferred thicknesses of the fourth tunnel oxide layer, the second amorphous silicon layer and the second anti-reflection layer of the present application and setting an appropriate thickness ratio between the front and back sides, the passivation effect of the battery can be improved, the short-circuit current can be increased, and the battery efficiency can be improved.
