Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of crystalline silicon solar cells, and in particular to a low parasitic absorption TOPCon solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Tunneling oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells are a type of solar cell with a back surface passivation structure composed of tunneling oxide and heavily doped polysilicon stacks. TOPCon cells not only have excellent surface passivation and field passivation properties, but also have the function of selective carrier collection, which can effectively reduce the carrier recombination of the cell and improve the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. However, when phosphorus atoms diffuse through the tunneling oxide to the silicon substrate during annealing, they will increase the carrier recombination. In addition, polycrystalline silicon (Poly-Si) has a parasitic absorption effect, which will greatly reduce the short-circuit current of the TOPCon cell and limit the efficiency improvement of the cell. Not only that, in the screen printing process, metal ions diffuse inward during high-temperature sintering, pass through Poly-Si and enter the silicon substrate, which will also increase the metal contact recombination, which will also limit the improvement of cell efficiency.
[0003] Many strategies to improve the efficiency of TOPCon cells are aimed at improving the passivation performance of the cell, reducing the parasitic absorption of Poly-Si and reducing the metal contact recombination. The passivation performance of the cell is optimized by using a stacked tunneling oxide passivation contact structure on the back surface of the TOPCon cell, such as heavily doped polysilicon / tunneling oxide / heavily doped polysilicon / tunneling oxide, heavily doped polysilicon / tunneling oxide / lightly doped polysilicon / tunneling oxide, heavily doped polysilicon / intrinsic polysilicon / tunneling oxide and other stacked passivation structures. The parasitic absorption of Poly-Si is reduced by doping Poly-Si with elements such as C, N, and O, or by reducing the thickness. At present, how to further improve the passivation performance of TOPCon cells, reduce the parasitic absorption of Poly-Si, and reduce the metal contact recombination effect is a challenge faced in the preparation of high-efficiency TOPCon solar cells.

[0015] S3, through the subsequent mass production process of TOPCon solar cells, the cells are post-processed, including ALD, front film, back film, and metallization processes to form cells.
[0016] Furthermore, the S1 performs texturing on the N-type silicon substrate to form a pyramid texture surface, and then forms a boron emitter through boron diffusion, and then forms a polished surface on the back surface of the battery through BSG removal and alkaline polishing processes.
[0017] Furthermore, the S3 deposits a front passivation layer on the front surface of the battery by ALD technology; then deposits an anti-reflection layer on the front passivation layer by PECVD technology; then, deposits a rear passivation layer on the back surface of the battery by PECVD technology; and finally forms a metal electrode Ag grid through a metallization process.
[0018] Furthermore, the specific steps of depositing fluorine-doped tin oxide using the PECVD technology in S2 are as follows:
[0019] Turn on the reduction motor, which drives the turbine blades to rotate, so that the mixed gas keeps rotating;

It can not only effectively hinder the inward diffusion of phosphorus atoms during annealing, but also limit the inward diffusion of metal Ag during sintering. Therefore, the thinned outer layer of hydrogenated heavily doped Poly-Si is configured with thickened fluorine-doped tin oxide to reduce the parasitic absorption of Poly-Si. In addition, when the Poly-finger graphic technology is applied, the thickened fluorine-doped tin oxide can be used as an alkaline etching stop layer to prepare a selectively thinned Poly-Si battery structure, which further plays a role in reducing the parasitic absorption of Poly-Si. Therefore, the present invention uses fluorine-doped tin oxide as the second conductive oxide layer to obtain a TOPCon solar cell with low parasitic absorption while optimizing the passivation performance and reducing metal contact recombination.

[0095] The inside of the gas box 401 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 402, the external thread of the threaded rod 402 is connected to a threaded sleeve 403, the inner wall of the gas box 401 is slidably connected to an air pushing plate 404, the threaded sleeve 403 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air pushing plate 404, and the side end of the gas box 401 is fixedly connected to an air delivery pipe 405. When the threaded rod 402 rotates, the air pushing plate 404 moves downward, and the air delivery pipe 405 transports nitrogen.
[0096] Specifically, a limit rod is fixedly connected in the air delivery box 401, and a groove is provided on the air push plate 404, through which the air push plate 404 slides on the outer wall of the limit rod. A one-way valve is provided on the air push plate 404, and the threaded rod 402 can be rotated in the reverse direction to lift the air push plate 404 to the highest point.
[0097] An infusion box 501 is provided at the side end of the gas transmission box 401. The interior of the infusion box 501 is filled with tetramethyltin, which is liquid at room temperature. A partition 502 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the infusion box 501. A pair of sealing plates 503 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the partition 502. A traction rope 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one of the sealing plates 503. An infusion tube 505 is fixedly connected to the side end of the gas transmission box 401. The infusion tube 505 is communicated with the gas transmission tube 405.
[0098] As the air push plate 404 descends, the sealing plate 503 is also pulled to move, so that the liquid is transported upward under pressure. An atomizing nozzle is provided inside the air delivery pipe 405 to atomize the liquid, thereby achieving nitrogen delivery with the atomized tetramethyltin. The two are simultaneously delivered to the reaction box 102 in a quantitative ratio to complete the subsequent gas mixing.
[0099] The intermittent transmission component 300 includes a stop wheel 301 and a toggle wheel 302 fixedly sleeved on the outer end of the driving shaft 202, the stop wheel 301 and the toggle wheel 302 fit each other, the top surface of the toggle wheel 302 is fixedly connected with a toggle lever 304, the top surface of the reaction box 102 is rotatably connected with a driven shaft, the outer end of the driven shaft is fixedly sleeved with an intermittent wheel 303, the intermittent wheel 303 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed arc grooves and movable grooves, and the arc grooves and the movable grooves are spaced apart, when the toggle wheel 302 rotates one circle, it will enter the movable groove through the toggle lever 304, and drive the intermittent wheel 303 to rotate a set angle, for example , there are four arc grooves and movable grooves in the figure, that is, they rotate 90 degrees; pulleys 305 are fixedly sleeved on the driven shaft and the threaded rod 402, and a pair of outer walls of the pulleys 305 are connected with a transmission belt 306 for transmission. When the driven shaft rotates a set angle, the threaded rod 402 also rotates a set angle, so that the push plate 404 can also drop a set distance, pushing the gas out of the gas pipe 405 and into the reaction box 102. As the push plate 404 drops, the sealing plate 503 is also driven to drop, and the liquid is pushed up by air pressure, and atomized liquid is sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle and enters the reaction box 102 together with the gas.
[0100] Thus, the gas delivery and liquid delivery are carried out simultaneously and at intervals, ensuring that the mist liquid and the gas are mixed in the reaction box 102 for a period of time before the gas delivery and liquid delivery are carried out.
[0101] Moreover, since the amount of liquid and gas infusion each time is constant, quantitative proportioning can be carried out according to actual needs to ensure that no excess liquid or gas is wasted. At the same time, since the reaction process is relatively slow, it can be paused at any time according to the reaction effect. The structure is simple and easy to use.
[0102] The outer end of the driving shaft 202 is fixedly connected with a plurality of turbine blades. During the rotation of the turbine blades, the mixed gas can be rotated in a vortex shape, so that the atomized liquid is not easy to settle, and the atomized liquid can continue to rotate in the reaction box 102 and be evenly filled in the reaction box 102, so as to be fully mixed and reacted with the subsequently charged oxygen and fluorine source gas (SF6 or CF4), so that the reaction is more complete.
[0103] A hose 603 is also extended from the end of the gas supply pipe 405, and a pulling component 600 is provided at the bottom of the hose 603. The pulling component 600 is responsible for pulling the hose 603 to move at regular intervals so that the position of the atomized liquid and nitrogen entering the reaction box 102 can be automatically adjusted, so that the atomized liquid can be evenly filled in the reaction box 102, and the dispersion effect is better.
[0104] The pulling component 600 includes a rotating frame 601, which is in the shape of a straight slot. A mounting hole is opened on the rotating frame 601, and the hose 603 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole. The side end of the reaction box 102 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 602. The rotating frame 601 slides inside the fixed frame 602. During the rotation of the rotating frame 601, the hose 603 can be moved up and down.
[0105] Optionally, a hydraulic rod is provided at the side end of the hose 603 . During the gas transmission process, the hydraulic rod moves slowly, so that the gas inlet position changes slowly, so that the gas is evenly dispersed into the reaction box 102 .
[0106] Optionally, a first gear 604 is also fixedly connected to the driven shaft, and an adjusting screw 605 is rotatably connected to the outside of the reaction box 102. The outer end of the adjusting screw 605 near the top is fixedly sleeved with a second gear 606. The first gear 604 and the second gear 606 have a gear ratio of 1:2-6. The outer end threaded sleeve 403 of the adjusting screw 605 is connected to a movable sleeve 607. The outer end of the movable sleeve 607 is connected to the hose 603 through a collar 608. Therefore, when the driven shaft rotates, it can slowly rotate with the adjusting screw 605 to ensure that the position of the hose 603 can be automatically moved downward without the need for other driving elements.
