Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a laminated TCO film, a heterojunction cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Solar cells are well known for their clean, safe and pollution-free characteristics. Solar cells are semiconductor devices that can convert solar energy into electrical energy. Under light conditions, photocurrent is generated inside the solar cell and the current is output through the electrodes. As one of the most important applications of solar energy, photovoltaic technology can effectively change the energy consumption structure, reduce global warming and the growing trend of ecological environment deterioration. Therefore, vigorously developing photovoltaic technology has far-reaching and significant significance. As the global market pays more and more attention to the efficiency of solar cells, the conversion efficiency of P-type solar cells has reached a bottleneck, and the iteration of battery technology is imperative. At present, the mainstream solar cells mainly include TOPCon cells, heterojunction cells, BC cells, perovskite cells and their corresponding various types of stacked solar cells. Among them, transparent conductive films, as a key component of various types of solar cells, play a vital role in improving the performance of solar cells. Today, magnetron sputtering technology has developed into the main transparent conductive oxide (Transparent Conductive Oxides, TCO) film deposition technology. During the preparation process of TCO films, on the one hand, they will be affected by the magnetron sputtering equipment itself. On the other hand, when different doped metal oxide targets are used in the same magnetron sputtering equipment, the process environment parameters also have a great influence on the quality of their film deposition. In solar cells, transparent conductive films not only need to have high light transmittance to ensure that sunlight can penetrate to the maximum extent and reach the light absorption layer of the cell to achieve efficient light energy capture, but also must have good conductivity to quickly collect and transmit the charges generated by the solar cell to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. Therefore, in-depth research on the characteristics of transparent conductive films and their applications in various types of solar cells is of great significance for promoting the development of solar cell technology and realizing the widespread application of solar energy.

[0003] In solar cells, first of all, transparent conductive films are usually used as electrode materials. They can be used as the front electrode of solar cells to collect photogenerated carriers and transmit them to the external circuit; they can also be used as the back electrode to reflect unabsorbed sunlight and improve the light absorption efficiency of solar cells. At the same time, transparent conductive films can also play the role of anti-reflection and anti-reflection, further improving the performance of solar cells. Secondly, transparent conductive films can be used as the intermediate composite layer between two sub-cells in stacked solar cells. For example, in perovskite crystalline silicon stacked cells, on the one hand, it can help the holes generated by the perovskite layer and the electrons generated by the crystalline silicon layer to effectively separate and transmit at the interface, reduce the recombination loss of carriers, and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery. On the other hand, the transparent conductive film of the intermediate composite layer can also passivate the interface between the perovskite layer and the crystalline silicon layer, reduce interface defects and surface states, and reduce the recombination probability of carriers. Good interface passivation can improve the open circuit voltage and fill factor of the battery, thereby improving the performance of the battery. Among them, the material selection and characteristic regulation of transparent conductive films are crucial, and they have a great impact on the performance of solar cells.

[0004] There are many types of typical doped monomer TCO films used in the current solar cell production process, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) film, aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) film, fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) film, etc. Among them, ITO film is a commonly used TCO film. Due to the limited global reserves of indium, even at a smaller production capacity, the shortage of indium will limit the production of solar cells, so it is imperative to find more abundant and low-cost alternative materials. The AZO film mentioned above is another commonly used TCO film. Because the main components of this film are Zn and Al, the cost of AZO film is only about 1 / 10 of that of ITO film. In order to reduce the cost of TCO film preparation, there is a solution to replace ITO film with low-cost AZO film. In the presence of AZO film, the series resistance of the battery increases, mainly due to the large contact resistance between AZO and the silver electrode and the amorphous silicon film. Therefore, it cannot meet the requirements of ultra-thin, high light transmittance and high conductivity at the same time. Limited by the semiconductor conductive mechanism, the efficiency of heterojunction solar cells prepared by unilateral AZO film as TCO film is low. In order to take into account the advantages of high efficiency and low cost, some studies have superimposed multilayer ITO film or ITO film with other types of doped metal oxide films. However, the superposition of multilayer ITO film and ITO film with other types of doped metal oxide films leads to a trend of deterioration in the optical and electrical properties of TCO film, and the obtained TCO film has poor film uniformity and density. Due to the poor contact between the film layers of the multilayer film, the potential barrier overcome by electrons or holes is large, and effective transmission cannot be obtained. In addition, the superposition of other types of doped metal oxide films will inevitably lead to a decrease in transparency, resulting in changes in the work function between the film layers and reduced ohmic contact.

[0005] Therefore, how to prepare TCO films with better optical and electrical properties is an urgent problem to be solved in the process of solar cell preparation. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention provides a laminated TCO film, a heterojunction battery and a preparation method thereof, which are used to solve the problem of poor optical and electrical properties of the TCO film in the prior art.

[0007] The present invention provides a laminated TCO film, which comprises a BTCO layer, a MTCO layer and a TTCO layer in sequence. Along the BTCO layer toward the TTCO layer, the BTCO layer comprises a first ITO layer, a first doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer and a first doped metal oxide layer, the MTCO layer comprises a second doped metal oxide layer, a second doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer and a second ITO layer, and the TTCO layer is a third ITO layer.

[0008] The laminated TCO film of the present invention comprises a BTCO layer, an MTCO layer and a TTCO layer in sequence. When in use, the BTCO layer is in direct contact with the doped silicon film layer, the TTCO layer is in contact with the metal electrode, and the MTCO layer plays a transition role. The present invention further optimizes the structures of the BTCO layer, the MTCO layer and the TTCO layer. The BTCO layer comprises a first ITO layer, a first doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer and a first doped metal oxide layer. Such a design structure can not only improve the interface contact performance between the laminated TCO film and the doped silicon film layer, but also improve the contact barrier between the MTCO layer and the doped silicon film layer. The TTCO layer uses an ITO film and can form a good ohmic contact with the metal electrode. The MTCO layer comprises a second doped metal oxide layer, a second doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer and a second ITO layer. Such a design can better play a transition role, reduce the carrier concentration and improve the carrier mobility. The laminated TCO film of the present invention adopts doped metal oxide to replace part of the more expensive ITO, and the structure between the layers is finely designed, so that the layers can play a better synergistic role, which can reduce the damage of magnetron sputtering to crystalline silicon and doped metal oxide films, and can reduce the resistivity of the laminated TCO film, so that it can form a good ohmic contact with other film layers of the battery, which is beneficial to the transmission of photogenerated current, and improves the light transmittance of the entire laminated TCO film, ultimately ensuring the improvement of efficiency and the reduction of target material cost.

[0009] The stacked TCO film of the present invention can be applied to all solar cells, such as the middle composite layer of a perovskite crystalline silicon stacked cell or the transparent conductive film layer of a top electrode or a bottom cell.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the BTCO layer is 15-20nm; the thickness of the MTCO layer is 20-45nm; and the thickness of the TTCO layer is 50-70nm. The thickness of each layer of the stacked TCO film has an important influence on its electrical, optical and stability properties. By precisely controlling the thickness of each layer, the comprehensive performance of the film can be optimized to meet the needs of different applications.

[0011] In some specific embodiments, the thickness of the BTCO layer is 18-20 nm; the thickness of the MTCO layer is 20-45 nm; and the thickness of the TTCO layer is 50-70 nm.

[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the BTCO layer, the MTCO layer and the TTCO layer satisfies: BTCO layer < MTCO layer < TTCO layer. By such thickness design, the electrical and optical losses of the battery can be further reduced, and the efficiency of the stacked TCO film can be improved.

[0013] In order to improve the electrical and optical properties of solar cells prepared by the stacked TCO film, more preferably, the thickness of the BTCO layer accounts for 15-20% of the total film thickness of the stacked TCO film; and / or the thickness of the MTCO layer accounts for 25-40% of the total film thickness of the stacked TCO film; and / or the thickness of the TTCO layer accounts for 45-60% of the total film thickness of the stacked TCO film.

[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the first doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer is 0.5-3nm; further, the thickness of the second doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer is 0.5-3nm. The doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer plays a key bridge role between the doped metal oxide layer and the ITO layer, which can improve the charge transfer characteristics between the doped metal oxide layer and the ITO layer, reduce the scattering effect at the interface, thereby improving the conductivity of the overall film, and by optimizing the thickness of the doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer, the overall application performance of the laminated TCO film can be improved.

[0015] In the present invention, the doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer plays a key bridge role between the doped metal oxide layer and the ITO layer. The thickness of the doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer can regulate the charge transfer characteristics between the doped metal oxide layer and the ITO layer and the scattering effect at the interface, thereby affecting the conductivity of the entire film. In order to improve the overall application performance of the laminated TCO film, it is preferred that the thickness of the first doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer is 0.5-3nm; or, it is preferred that the thickness of the second doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer is 0.5-3nm; it is further preferred that the thickness of the first doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer is 0.5-3nm, and, the thickness of the second doped metal oxide and ITO composite layer is 0.5-3nm.

[0016] Furthermore, the sum of the thicknesses of the first doped metal oxide layer and the second doped metal oxide layer is 10%-25% of the total thickness of the laminated TCO film. By limiting the sum of the thicknesses of the first doped metal oxide layer and the second doped metal oxide layer to a reasonable range, the conversion efficiency of the heterojunction solar cell can be improved while reducing the production cost.

[0017] Further, the doped metal oxide in the first doped metal oxide and the doped metal oxide in the second doped metal oxide are each independently one or more of AZO, a tin-based compound having a tin oxide weight content greater than 97%, and ITO having an indium oxide weight content less than 70%. In some specific embodiments, the doped metal oxide in the first doped metal oxide and the doped metal oxide in the second doped metal oxide are each independently AZO.

[0018] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention further provides a heterojunction battery, comprising: Silicon substrate; A first intrinsic amorphous silicon film, an N-type doped silicon film, a front transparent conductive oxide layer and a first metal electrode are sequentially arranged on the front surface of the silicon substrate; A second intrinsic amorphous silicon film, a P-type doped silicon film, a back transparent conductive oxide layer and a second metal electrode are sequentially arranged on the back side of the silicon substrate, and the front transparent conductive oxide layer and / or the back transparent conductive oxide layer are the above-mentioned laminated TCO film.

[0019] Applying the laminated TCO film of the present invention to a heterojunction battery can improve the electrical and optical properties of the heterojunction battery.

[0020] It should be noted that the laminated TCO film structure of the present invention is not limited to the back P-type doped silicon film, but can also be applied to the front N-type doped silicon film. In some specific embodiments, when the laminated TCO film is applied to the back P-type doped silicon film, the front transparent conductive oxide layer preferably uses a high indium ratio target material that is beneficial to optics.

[0021] According to a third aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned heterojunction battery, comprising the following steps: providing a silicon substrate; A first intrinsic amorphous silicon film and an N-type doped silicon film are sequentially deposited on the front side of the silicon substrate by a plasma chemical gas deposition method; a second intrinsic amorphous silicon film and a P-type doped silicon film are sequentially deposited on the back side of the silicon substrate by a plasma chemical gas deposition method; Depositing a front transparent conductive oxide layer on the N-type doped silicon film by magnetron sputtering; depositing a back transparent conductive oxide layer on the P-type doped silicon film by magnetron sputtering; A first metal electrode is prepared on the front transparent conductive oxide layer; and a second metal electrode is prepared on the back transparent conductive oxide layer.

[0022] The method for preparing the heterojunction battery of the present invention does not substantially change the structure of the original magnetron sputtering equipment when preparing the laminated TCO film, and the process is simple and easy to implement.

[0023] Furthermore, the deposition of a back transparent conductive oxide layer on the P-type doped silicon film includes: depositing a BTCO layer on the P-type doped silicon film; depositing an MTCO layer on the BTCO layer; and depositing a TTCO layer on the MTCO layer. The application of the laminated TCO film on the back of the heterojunction cell can significantly improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency, optical performance and stability of the cell.

[0024] Furthermore, the deposition of the front transparent conductive oxide layer on the N-type doped silicon film by magnetron sputtering is carried out in the first process chamber, the sputtering target is tin-doped indium oxide, the weight ratio of In2O3 and SnO2 in the tin-doped indium oxide is (90-97): (3-10), and the sputtering process gas is argon and oxygen, and the volume ratio of argon and oxygen is (50-200): 1. The composition of the sputtering target and the sputtering process gas have an important influence on the electrical, optical, structural morphology and stability properties of the front transparent conductive oxide layer. By optimizing the characteristics of the target and the sputtering gas, the overall performance of the front transparent conductive oxide layer can be significantly improved.

[0025] The BTCO layer is deposited on the P-type doped silicon film on the same cathode in the second process chamber, and tin-doped indium oxide and aluminum-doped zinc oxide are sputtered in sequence, the weight ratio of In2O3 and SnO2 in the tin-doped indium oxide is (90-97): (3-10), the weight ratio of ZnO and Al2O3 in the aluminum-doped zinc oxide is (95-99): (1-5), and the sputtering process gas is argon and oxygen, and the volume ratio of argon and oxygen is (50-200): 1. The composition of the sputtering target and the sputtering process gas have an important influence on the electrical, optical, structural morphology and stability properties of the BTCO layer. By optimizing the characteristics of the target and the sputtering gas, the overall performance of the BTCO layer can be significantly improved.

[0026] The MTCO layer is deposited on the BTCO layer on the same cathode in the third process chamber, and aluminum-doped zinc oxide and tin-doped indium oxide are sputtered in sequence, the weight ratio of ZnO and Al2O3 in the aluminum-doped zinc oxide is (95-99): (1-5), the weight ratio of In2O3 and SnO2 in the tin-doped indium oxide is (90-97): (3-10), and the sputtering process gas is argon and oxygen, and the volume ratio of argon and oxygen is (75-100): 1. The composition of the sputtering target and the sputtering process gas have an important influence on the electrical, optical, structural morphology and stability properties of the MTCO layer. By optimizing the characteristics of the target and the sputtering gas, the overall performance of the MTCO layer can be significantly improved.

[0027] The deposition of the TTCO layer on the MTCO layer is carried out in the fourth process chamber, the sputtering target is tin-doped indium oxide, the weight ratio of In2O3 and SnO2 in the tin-doped indium oxide is (90-97): (3-10), and the sputtering process gas is argon and oxygen, and the volume ratio of argon and oxygen is (50-200): 1. The composition of the sputtering target and the sputtering process gas have an important influence on the electrical, optical, structural morphology and stability properties of the TTCO layer. By optimizing the characteristics of the target and the sputtering gas, the overall performance of the TTCO layer can be significantly improved.

[0028] The sputtering power and other parameters of the PVD magnetron sputtering equipment can be precisely controlled. The two process steps of preparing the TCO transparent conductive film of the above heterojunction battery can be completed at one time through one PVD equipment.

[0029] The first process chamber, the second process chamber, the third process chamber and the fourth process chamber are connected in sequence.

[0030] Furthermore, a cathode is separately configured in each process chamber, and two sputtering targets can be placed on each cathode, and the distance between the two sputtering targets is 5 cm. The power supply in each process chamber adopts a DC pulse discharge mode or a DC discharge mode.

[0031] Furthermore, the first process chamber, the second process chamber, the third process chamber and the fourth process chamber independently satisfy at least one of parameters (1) to (3) during operation. Specifically, parameter (1) is a pressure of 5e -1 -8e -1 Pa; the parameter (2) is the temperature of 80-120°C; the parameter (3) is the water partial pressure 1e -4 Pa to 3e -4Pa. Pressure affects the density and stability of the plasma in the sputtering chamber. An appropriate pressure range helps maintain a stable plasma environment, thereby improving sputtering efficiency. Reasonable control of temperature helps improve the crystallinity of the film layer, thereby improving its electrical and optical properties. Too high a water partial pressure will introduce impurities into the film, affecting its purity and stability. Maintaining a low water partial pressure helps maintain the stability of the sputtering process and avoid process fluctuations caused by moisture. By controlling the pressure, temperature and water partial pressure in each process chamber within a reasonable range, the sputtering efficiency can be improved, thereby improving the performance of the film layer.

[0032] Furthermore, in the process of providing the silicon substrate, the silicon substrate needs to be pre-treated, and the pre-treatment specifically includes the following steps: first, use ammonia water to clean the dirt on the surface of the silicon substrate, and then use potassium hydroxide to alkaline polish it to remove the damaged layer, and then use texturing additives and potassium hydroxide to texturize, so that a pyramid structure is formed on the surface of the silicon substrate, and the texturing size is 2-3μm, and finally, it is post-cleaned with acid and alkali to achieve a texturing structure with a higher degree of cleanliness.

[0033] Furthermore, a first intrinsic amorphous silicon film and an N-type doped silicon film are sequentially deposited on the front side of the silicon substrate by plasma chemical gas deposition method, specifically: the first intrinsic amorphous silicon film is deposited to a thickness of 5-10nm, using gases SiH4 and H2; the N-type doped amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon layer is deposited to a thickness of 8-15nm, using gases SiH4, H2, PH3, and the PH3 doping ratio is 1-5%.

[0034] Furthermore, a second intrinsic amorphous silicon film and a P-type doped silicon film are sequentially deposited on the back side of the silicon substrate by plasma chemical gas deposition, specifically: the second intrinsic amorphous silicon film is deposited to a thickness of 10-15nm, using gases SiH4 and H2; a P-type doped amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon layer is deposited to a thickness of 10-20nm, using gases SiH4, H2, and B2H6, and the B2H6 doping ratio is 3-5%.

[0035] A stacked TCO film provided according to the present invention comprises a BTCO layer, an MTCO layer and a TTCO layer in sequence. Through the synergistic effect between the layers, the damage of magnetron sputtering to crystalline silicon and doped metal oxide films can be reduced, and the resistivity of the stacked TCO film can be reduced, so that it forms a good ohmic contact with other film layers of the battery, which is beneficial to the transmission of photogenerated current, improves the light transmittance of the entire stacked TCO film, and ultimately ensures the improvement of efficiency and the reduction of target material cost.

[0069] The performance data of the heterojunction cells of the embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 1 below.

[0070] Table 1

[0071] It can be seen from the data results of the above embodiments and comparative examples that the cell efficiency of the heterojunction battery prepared by the laminated TCO film of the present invention is above 25%, and the heterojunction battery of the present invention does not basically change the structure of the original magnetron sputtering equipment when preparing the laminated TCO film. The process method is simple and easy to implement, which can not only optimize the interface contact between the TCO film and the doped amorphous silicon, but also avoid the problems of increased square resistance of the entire TCO film layer and reduced transmittance of the TCO film caused by the conventional TCO laminated structure, so that the transmittance of the laminated TCO film is increased by more than 2% compared with Comparative Example 1. Importantly, the introduction of aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) film can reduce the usage of ITO target by about 10-30%, thereby reducing the production cost of the target while ensuring that the conversion efficiency of the heterojunction solar cell is increased by 0.05%. When the battery efficiency of Examples 1 and 3 is higher than that of Comparative Example 1, AZO can also replace more than 15% of ITO, which can effectively reduce the preparation cost of the heterojunction battery. When the battery efficiency of Example 2 is only 0.1% lower than that of Comparative Example 1, AZO can replace more than 30% of ITO.
