Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of photovoltaic manufacturing, and in particular to a TBC solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The existing TBC (Top-Contact Back-Contact) battery back passivation contact structure can significantly improve the carrier collection efficiency of the back grid line. The key is to reduce carrier recombination by setting a suitable passivation layer on the back, thereby improving the efficiency of the battery. However, the implementation of this structure usually requires the use of a polysilicon (Poly-Silicon) layer with a higher doping concentration on the back, while ensuring a high passivation level. This is because a higher doping concentration helps to improve the contact performance between the back grid line and the carriers, thereby improving the carrier collection ability.

[0003] However, the back P region usually uses boron-doped polysilicon (Poly-Si:B) material, which brings high doping concentration while also introducing a problem that cannot be ignored. The boron doping process causes boron atoms to generate recombination centers in the silicon lattice, which accelerate the recombination of electrons and holes, thereby reducing the passivation effect of the battery. This phenomenon not only affects the passivation level of the back region, but also leads to a decrease in battery efficiency. Summary of the invention
