Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of solar power generation, and particularly relates to a back contact BC solar cell structure and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a system for directly converting solar energy into electrical energy by using solar cells according to the principle of photovoltaic effect, wherein the basic structure of the solar cell is a large-area planar PN junction. When sunlight irradiates on the PN junction, the PN junction absorbs light energy to excite electrons and holes, and then generates a voltage in the PN junction to realize photoelectric conversion. Therefore, the core structure for realizing the conversion between solar energy and electrical energy in a crystalline silicon cell is the PN junction.

[0003] With the PERC cell gradually approaching the limit efficiency of 24.5%, the industry has begun to seek the next generation of crystalline silicon cell technology, and the current mainstream promotion includes Topcon (tunneling oxide passivation contact), HJT (heterojunction), and IBC (interdigitated back contact) technology. Different from Topcon and HJT which improve the cell efficiency by changing the passivation method, the IBC cell is to transfer all the cell grid lines to the back surface, reduce the grid line shading area, improve the current density, and increase the cell efficiency. The IBC cell is a platform technology, and is stacked with Topcon technology as TBC and stacked with HJT technology as HBC.

[0004] The HBC cell inherits the difficulties of the production processes of HJT and IBC, such as long process, complex process, narrow process window, etc., and the TBC cell needs to solve the problems of back electrode isolation and polysilicon passivation uniformity. Due to the great difference between the technical routes of the two cell structures, the existing scheme can only prepare one of the cell structures that change the passivation method and reduce the grid lines.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a cell structure that takes into account the advantages of TBC cells and HBC cells is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the field.

[0060] Terminology:

[0061] HBC: IBC battery in Chinese is called cross-finger back contact battery. The emitter, back field and corresponding positive and negative electrodes are integrated in the form of cross-finger on the back of the battery. This structure avoids the metal grid electrode from blocking the light, maximizes the use of incident light, and improves the short-circuit current of the battery. HBC technology combines HJT technology and IBC technology, which can improve the current density and battery efficiency without losing passivation.

[0062] The characteristics of IBC battery are that there is no electrode on the front of the battery, and the positive and negative electrode grids are integrated in the form of cross-finger on the back. The main features of the battery are: 1. High minority carrier lifetime silicon wafer is used to avoid carrier recombination before transmission to the PN junction; 2. The positive and negative electrodes are integrated on the back, and the grid pattern morphology is designed with a large window; 3. Front surface field design with anti-reflection coating, which maximizes optical utilization and reduces front surface recombination; 4. Back N area, P area cross-finger arrangement, P area (emitter) collects holes, N area (back field) captures electrons.

[0063] IBC cell advantages: 1. No grid line obstruction on the front side, high photon absorption level, high current density; 2. Combined with HJT technology, improve cell current density and cell efficiency without passivation loss; 3. Combined with Topcon technology, both positive and negative electrodes can be prepared with passivation contact structure without significant current density loss, and the passivation level is improved; 4. Both positive and negative electrodes are on the back side, which can increase the grid line width, reduce the contact resistance, improve the FF, and have no significant effect on the current; 5. The cell has no grid line design on the front side, the cell is beautiful, and the BIPV (photovoltaic building integration) application scene has obvious advantages.

[0064] BC cell disadvantages: 1. Low double-sided rate of the cell (grid line integrated on the back side, resulting in increased shading area on the back side, and large difference in efficiency between the front and back sides); 2. Complex process, many processes, expensive equipment, high cost, and low yield (traditional HBC cell preparation process includes: texturing cleaning--front i:a-Si--front SiNx--back i:a-Si--back P:a-Si--back mask--laser slotting--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 process includes: double-sided polishing-tunnel oxide layer preparation-intrinsic poly deposition-boron diffusion-laser ablation-alkali polishing-tunnel oxide layer preparation-intrinsic poly deposition-phosphorus diffusion-laser ablation-alkali washing-laser ablation-single-sided chain acid-texturing-anti-reflective passivation film-printing and sintering); 3. The poly interdigital arrangement structure of the back N area and P area is difficult to prepare (laser is difficult to accurately position the film opening area and film opening depth); 4. BC cell has higher requirements for silicon wafer quality and front body passivation (carriers need to pass through the front surface and body area of the silicon wafer to reach the back side, and defects in the front body of the cell will recombine carriers before reaching the PN junction).

[0069] Disadvantages:

[0070] 1. Use doped paste as a doping source. The doped paste has special fluidity, corrosion, etc., and needs to use professional scrapers, glue scrapers, and special non-metal mesh, which is not market mass production auxiliary materials.

[0073] 4. Laser boron and phosphorus paste doping amorphous silicon, it is difficult to control the doping amount and doping depth, and it is easy to damage the bottom layer of hydrogenated amorphous silicon, affecting the passivation of the battery.

[0074] 5. The ARC anti-reflection film prepared by using >200℃ high temperature on the front surface is easy to cause the passivation of amorphous silicon to decline.

[0075] 6. The anti-reflection passivation film layer design of SiNx+i: a-Si on the front surface has large parasitic absorption and large battery current loss.

[0079] Concept:

[0080] The back N region and P region are prepared by traditional mask-slot-deposition-etching method, and the N region uses SiO and N+poly polo passivation contact structure to replace the battery structure of i:a-Si+N:a:Si.

[0081] Disadvantages:

[0082] 1. The front surface uses SiNx+i:a-Si antireflection passivation film layer design, which has large parasitic absorption and large battery current loss.

[0083] 2. The interface H passivation effect of the back N region using SiO and N+poly polo passivation contact structure is poor.

[0084] 3. The N+poly preparation of the back N region uses high-temperature tube type equipment, which has winding expansion and winding plating.
