Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solar power generation, and in particular relates to a back-contact BC solar cell structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a system that uses solar cells to directly convert sunlight energy into electrical energy based on the principle of the photovoltaic effect. The basic structure of a solar cell is a large-area planar PN junction. When sunlight shines on the PN junction, the PN junction absorbs light energy to excite electrons and holes, and then generates voltage in the PN junction to achieve photoelectric conversion. Therefore, the core structure that realizes the conversion of sunlight energy and electrical energy in crystalline silicon cells is the PN junction.
[0003] As PERC cells gradually approach the limit efficiency of 24.5%, the industry has begun to seek the next generation of crystalline silicon cell technology. The current mainstream technologies are Topcon (tunneling oxide passivation contact), HJT (heterojunction), and IBC (interdigitated back contact). Unlike Topcon and HJT, which improve cell efficiency by changing the passivation method, IBC cells transfer all the cell grid lines to the back, reduce the grid line shading area, increase current density, and increase cell efficiency. IBC cells are platform technologies, which are superimposed with Topcon technology to form TBC and with HJT technology to form HBC.
[0004] HBC cells inherit the difficulties of HJT and IBC production processes, such as long process steps, complex manufacturing, and narrow process windows. TBC cells need to solve problems such as back electrode isolation and uniformity of polysilicon passivation quality. Since the technical routes of the two battery structures are quite different, the existing solutions can only choose to prepare one of the battery structures that changes the passivation method and reduces the gate lines.
[0005] Therefore, how to provide a battery structure that takes into account the advantages of both TBC batteries and HBC batteries is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
[0006] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this background technology section is only used to understand the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute information of the prior art.

[0020] 2. The N-region poly is prepared by in-situ doping PVD coating, without wrapping, plating and expanding, and no additional wrapping, plating and expanding process is required;
[0021] 3. The N-region and P-region of the present invention use substrates with different morphologies, which is more conducive to laser grooving positioning and identification, and prepares the N-region polyP-region amorphous interdigitated arrangement structure, reducing the risk of battery leakage and offset;
[0022] 4. The process of the present invention does not involve laser bombardment of hydrogenated amorphous materials, and the risk of performance failure is extremely low.
[0023] In the second aspect, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a back-contact BC solar cell structure prepared by the method as described above, wherein the back N region of the cell is provided with a tunneling SiO2 layer and a phosphorus-doped N+poly layer with high crystallization rate and low parasitic absorption; the P region is provided with i: a-Si layer, P: a-Si layer and P-uc-SiO x C y Layering; the front side of the battery is provided with a laminated gradient silicon nitride anti-reflection passivation film.
[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are that the back contact BC solar cell structure has the following advantages:
[0025] 1. The back N region of the present invention adopts a tunneling SiO2 layer and an N+poly field structure with a high crystallization rate and low parasitic absorption to replace the i:a-Si+N:a:Si field structure of the traditional HBC to improve the current density, and the back N region adopts a velvet light trapping structure to replace the polishing structure to improve the current density, and the metal electrode contact area is increased to reduce the contact resistance and improve the fill factor, and a layer of low-temperature silicon nitride anti-reflection film is added to the upper layer of the TCO transparent conductive film to improve passivation and current density, and the P region and N region isolation region are covered with silicon nitride for anti-reflection to improve passivation and current density. The P region uses an i:a-Si+P:a-Si+P-uc-SiOxCy emitter film layer structure to replace the traditional i:a-Si+P:a-Si, and the introduction of microcrystalline boron-doped carbon oxide silicon reduces the parasitic absorption of the film layer to improve the current density, improve the efficiency of the back side of the battery, and improve the bifaciality;
[0026] 2. The front side uses a low-temperature gradient SiNx+aluminum oxide passivation anti-reflection film to replace the intrinsic amorphous silicon+SiNx to reduce the parasitic absorption of amorphous silicon. The back N area uses a velvet light-trapping structure to replace the polishing structure to increase the current density. A layer of low-temperature silicon nitride anti-reflection film is added to the upper layer of the TCO transparent conductive film to improve passivation and current density. The P area and N area isolation area are covered with silicon nitride for anti-reflection to improve passivation and current density. The P area uses i:a-Si+P:a-Si+P-uc-SiOxCy emitter film structure to replace the traditional i:a-Si+P:a-Si. The introduction of microcrystalline boron-doped carbon oxide silicon reduces the parasitic absorption of the film layer and increases the current density, reduces the overall optical loss of the BC battery, and improves the overall current density of the battery.
[0027] 3. The present invention adopts amorphous silicon passivation interface and emitter preparation only in the back P-region junction area, Al2O3+SiNx passivation interface in the front, and SiO2+poly structure passivation interface in the back N-region. Compared with the traditional HBC battery covered with all amorphous silicon, the risk of ultraviolet attenuation is greatly reduced;
[0028] 4. The front and back sides of this battery structure are covered with a water vapor and acid-base resistant SiNx film layer, without TCO exposure that is sensitive to water vapor and acid-base, making component packaging easier and reducing the risk of failure;
[0029] 5. The N-region junction area of the present invention adopts SiO2+poly passivation contact structure. During the high-temperature annealing and crystallization process of poly, it has the impurity gettering effect to improve the quality of silicon wafers, and does not require the additional impurity gettering process of traditional HBC battery preparation;
[0030] 6. The P-region junction area on the back of the battery of the present invention is passivated with amorphous silicon, and the front side is made of low-temperature silicon nitride to reduce aluminum oxide damage. The overall passivation upper limit is higher than that of traditional TBC batteries and is not inferior to that of HBC batteries.
[0031] 7. After the N-region and P-region are isolated by laser grooving in the present invention, an insulating material SiNx is used for secondary isolation, which greatly reduces the risk of BC battery leakage.

[0060] Terminology explanation:
[0061] HBC: The Chinese name of IBC battery is cross-finger back contact battery. The emitter, back field and corresponding positive and negative electrodes are integrated on the back of the battery in a cross-finger shape. This structure avoids the metal grid electrode from blocking light, maximizes the use of incident light, and increases the short-circuit current of the battery. HBC technology is a combination of HJT technology and IBC technology, which can increase current density and battery efficiency without losing passivation.
[0062] The characteristics of IBC batteries are that there is no electrode on the front side of the battery, and the positive and negative electrode grid lines are integrated on the back side in a fork-like shape. The main features of the battery are: 1. The use of high minority carrier lifetime silicon wafers to prevent carriers from being recombined before being transmitted to the PN junction; 2. The positive and negative electrodes are integrated on the back side, and the grid line pattern morphology has a large design window; 3. The front side anti-reflection stack film & front surface field design maximizes optical utilization and reduces front surface recombination; 4. The back N and P regions are arranged in a fork-like shape, the P region (emitter) collects holes, and the N region (back field) captures electrons.
[0063] Advantages of IBC batteries: 1. There is no grid line blocking the front, the photon absorption level is high, and the current density is high; 2. Combined with HJT technology, the battery current density is improved without passivation loss, and the battery efficiency is improved; 3. Combined with Topcon technology, the positive and negative electrodes can be prepared with passivation contact structures without large current density loss to improve the passivation level; 4. Both the positive and negative electrodes are on the back, which can increase the grid line width, reduce the contact resistance, improve FF, and have no significant effect on the current; 5. There is no grid line design on the front of the battery, the battery is beautiful, and the BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) application scenario has obvious advantages.
[0064] Disadvantages of BC cells: 1. Low bifaciality of the cell (the grid line is integrated on the back, resulting in an increase in the back shading area and a large difference in efficiency between the front and back sides); 2. Complex process, multiple steps, expensive equipment, high cost, and low yield (the traditional HBC cell preparation process includes: texturing and cleaning--front i: a-Si--front SiNx--back i: a-Si--back P: a-Si--back mask--laser grooving--etching--back i: a-Si--back N: a-Si--laser film opening--etching--back TCO--laser film opening to isolate PN area--printing and curing--light injection) (conventional TBC cell preparation The process includes: double-sided polishing - tunneling oxide layer preparation - intrinsic poly deposition - boron diffusion - laser ablation - alkali polishing - tunneling oxide layer preparation - intrinsic poly deposition - phosphorus diffusion - laser ablation - alkali washing - laser ablation - single-sided chain acid - texturing - anti-reflection passivation film - printing and sintering); 3. The poly interdigitated arrangement structure in the N and P regions on the back is difficult to prepare (it is difficult for the laser to accurately locate the film opening area and the film opening depth); 4. BC batteries have high requirements for silicon wafer quality and front surface body passivation (carriers are separated from the PN junction and need to pass through the front surface and body of the silicon wafer to reach the back. Defects in the front surface of the battery will recombine the carriers before they reach the PN junction).
[0065] Existing technology 1: Xuzhou Pule New Energy (patent number CN 115050855 A)
[0066] Scheme steps: 1. Double-sided texturing; 2. Back-side polishing; 3. Double-sided deposition of i:a-Si; 4. Back-side patterned boron paste printing and drying; 5. Back-side patterned phosphorus paste printing and drying; 6. Laser doping of N-zone and P-zone; 7. Ultrasonic cleaning of slurry with organic water mixed solution; 8. Back-side TCO deposition; 9. Laser grooving to isolate N-zone and P-zone; 10. Front-side deposition of SiO / SiON / SiN stacked film; 11. Screen printing, curing and sintering.
[0067] Concept: 1. From top to bottom: SiN / SiON / SiO---i: a-Si---suede surface---silicon base---polished surface---i: a-Si---P: a-Si---Na: Si---TCO---silver paste HBC battery structure;
[0068] 2. i: a-Si is deposited on the back of the battery, and the boron slurry and phosphorus slurry are cross-printed using a screen. After drying, laser doping, and cleaning, the poly interdigitated arrangement structure of the N and P regions on the back of the battery is completed.
[0069] shortcoming:
[0070] 1. Use doping slurry as the doping source. Due to its special fluidity and corrosiveness, it requires the use of professional scrapers, scrapers, special non-metallic mesh, and non-market mass production auxiliary materials;
[0071] 2. In order to meet the printing requirements, the doping slurry often adds more organic solvents to achieve curing. Organic solvents will affect the diffusion effect of boron and phosphorus doping, and the diffusion uniformity is poor;
[0072] 3. To meet the printing requirements, more organic solvents are often added to the doped slurry, which has a strong odor, requires high ventilation on site, and requires high protective measures for employees;
[0073] 4. It is difficult to control the doping amount and doping depth of amorphous silicon by laser boron-phosphorus slurry, which can easily damage the underlying hydrogenated amorphous silicon and affect the passivation of the battery.
[0074] 5. The ARC anti-reflection film is prepared at a high temperature of >200°C on the front side, which can easily lead to a decrease in the passivation of amorphous silicon;
[0075] 6. The front side adopts the anti-reflection passivation film design of SiNx+i:a-Si, which has large parasitic absorption and large battery current loss;
[0076] 7. In this process, amorphous silicon is exposed for a long time without a protective film, which affects the passivation of the battery.
[0077] Prior art 2: Aikang (CN 218849510 U)

Preparation of TCO by back mask-grooving-deposition-etching technology; 10. Screen electrode printing and curing.
[0079] concept:
[0080] The back N-region and P-region are prepared by the traditional mask-groove-deposition-etching method, and the N-region adopts the polo passivation contact structure of SiO and N+poly to replace the i:a-Si+N:a:Si battery structure.
[0081] shortcoming:
[0082] 1. The front side adopts the anti-reflection passivation film design of SiNx+i:a-Si, which has large parasitic absorption and large battery current loss;
[0083] 2. The H passivation effect of the polo passivation contact structure interface of SiO and N+poly in the back N region is poor;
[0084] 3. The N+poly preparation of the back N region uses high-temperature tubular equipment, which involves wrapping, expansion and plating.
