Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of crystalline silicon solar cells, in particular to a low parasitic absorption TOPCon solar cell and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cell is a type of solar cell composed of a tunnel oxide and a heavily doped polysilicon stack to form a back surface passivation structure. The TOPCon cell not only has excellent surface passivation performance and field passivation performance, but also has the effect of selective collection of carriers, which can effectively reduce carrier recombination in the cell and improve the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. However, the diffusion of phosphorus atoms through the tunnel oxide to the silicon substrate during annealing increases the carrier recombination. In addition, the polysilicon (Poly-Si) has a parasitic absorption effect, which significantly reduces the short-circuit current of the TOPCon cell and limits the improvement of the cell efficiency. Moreover, during the screen printing process, metal ions diffuse inward during high-temperature sintering and penetrate into the silicon substrate through the Poly-Si, which also increases the metal contact recombination and limits the improvement of the cell efficiency.
[0003] Many strategies for improving the efficiency of the TOPCon cell are aimed at improving the passivation performance of the cell, reducing the parasitic absorption of the Poly-Si, and reducing the metal contact recombination. By using a stacked tunnel oxide passivation contact structure on the back surface of the TOPCon cell, the passivation performance of the cell can be optimized, such as: heavily doped polysilicon / tunnel oxide / heavily doped polysilicon / tunnel oxide, heavily doped polysilicon / tunnel oxide / lightly doped polysilicon / tunnel oxide, and heavily doped polysilicon / intrinsic polysilicon / tunnel oxide. By doping C, N, O, etc. in the Poly-Si, or reducing the thickness of the Poly-Si, the parasitic absorption of the Poly-Si can be reduced. Currently, how to further improve the passivation performance of the TOPCon cell, reduce the parasitic absorption of the Poly-Si, and reduce the effect of metal contact recombination is a challenge in the preparation of high-efficiency TOPCon solar cells.

[0025] The present application is based on the TOPCon cell, using the transparent conductive characteristics of fluorine-doped tin oxide, and using thick fluorine-doped tin oxide as the second layer of conductive oxide layer. Not only can it effectively hinder the inward diffusion of phosphorus atoms during annealing, but also can limit the inward diffusion of metal Ag during sintering. Therefore, by configuring a thick fluorine-doped tin oxide with a thin outer layer of hydrogenated heavily doped Poly-Si, the parasitic absorption of Poly-Si can be reduced. In addition, when applying the Poly-finger patterning technology, the thick fluorine-doped tin oxide can be used as an alkali etching stop layer to prepare a selective Poly-Si thinned battery structure, which further reduces the parasitic absorption of Poly-Si. Therefore, the present application uses fluorine-doped tin oxide as the second layer of conductive oxide layer, which optimizes the passivation performance and reduces the metal contact recombination, and obtains a low parasitic absorption TOPCon solar cell.

[0086] The low parasitic absorption selective Poly-Si thinned TOPCon solar cell of the present application and the low parasitic absorption TOPCon solar cell are the same, both have the setting of thickening SnO x :F and thinning the outer Poly-Si, thus also playing a role in reducing metal contact recombination and reducing parasitic absorption. The difference is that the low parasitic absorption selective Poly-Si thinned TOPCon solar cell combines Poly-finger patterning technology to form a non-metal contact area selective Poly-Si thinned structure with thickened SnO x :F as an alkaline etching stop layer, further reducing the parasitic absorption of Poly-Si and improving the efficiency of the cell.
