Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present 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 backside passivation contact structure can significantly improve the carrier collection efficiency of the backside grid lines. The key lies in providing a suitable passivation layer on the backside to reduce carrier recombination, 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 high doping concentration on the backside, while ensuring a high passivation level. This is because the higher doping concentration helps improve the contact performance between the backside grid lines and the carriers, thereby improving the carrier collection ability.

[0003] However, the back P region is typically made of boron-doped polysilicon (Poly-Si:B). This results in high doping concentrations but also introduces a significant problem. The boron doping process causes boron atoms to form recombination centers within the silicon lattice. These recombination centers accelerate the recombination of electrons and holes, thereby reducing the cell's passivation effectiveness. This phenomenon not only affects the back region's passivation level but also leads to a decrease in cell efficiency. Summary of the Invention
