[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] As used herein, phrases such as "in one embodiment", "according to one embodiment", "in some embodiments", etc. generally refer to the fact that the specific features, structures, or characteristics after such phrases can be included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, a specific feature, structure, or characteristic can be included in more than one embodiment of the present disclosure, such that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

Instead, the use of terms such as "example", "exemplary", etc. is intended to present concepts in a specific manner.
[0025] In this document, example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As used herein, expressions such as "at least one of..." modify the entire list of elements when following a list of elements, rather than modifying individual elements in the list. For example, the expression "at least one of a, b, and c" should be understood to include only a, only b, only c, both a and b, both a and c, both b and c, or all of a, b, and c.
[0026] The terms used in this document are only for describing specific exemplary configurations and are not intended to be restrictive.

Additional or alternative steps may be employed.
[0027] In the process of combining the TOPCon passivation structure with the HJT cell, the inventors found the following problems: 1. After introducing the TOPCon passivated contact structure on the textured surface, the tips, edges, and bottoms of the pyramids cannot obtain uniform high-quality tunneling oxide chemical passivation and N+ internal diffusion field passivation. This is because the tunneling oxide layers at the tips and bottoms are extremely prone to being damaged by phosphorus atoms during high-temperature annealing, resulting in low passivation.
[0028] 2. When the thickness of the polysilicon cell is below 50 nm, there is a problem of high contact resistance. However, although polysilicon with a thickness above 50 nm can reduce the contact resistance, it will bring serious parasitic absorption. For example, in patent number CN 220189670 U, the steps are as follows: S1. Double-sided texturing; S2. Depositing amorphous silicon + first doped amorphous silicon + transparent conductive film on the front side; S3. Depositing amorphous silicon + second doped amorphous silicon + transparent conductive film on the back side; S4. Metallization; The scheme concept is a traditional HJT cell with double-sided textured surface, double-sided amorphous silicon, double-sided differently doped amorphous silicon, and double-sided transparent conductive film structure, having the following disadvantages: 1. The front-side amorphous silicon has strong parasitic absorption, affecting the cell current density; 2. The front-side amorphous silicon passivation has ultraviolet attenuation.
[0029] 3. The existing doped polysilicon + tunneling oxide passivated contact structure is usually prepared by using tube LPCVD or tube PECVD combined with phosphorus diffusion or annealing. The tube deposition equipment has problems of over-deposition and over-diffusion, and additional processes are required to remove them, increasing the preparation process and limiting the cell yield. For example, in patent number CN 118016731 A; The scheme concept is to use the TOPCON structure to replace the amorphous silicon structure on the front side of the HJT cell to solve the problem of ultraviolet attenuation of the front-side amorphous silicon of the HJT cell; It has the following disadvantages: 1. It does not consider the over-deposition and over-diffusion processes in the preparation of the TOPCON structure by the LPPECVD method, and the preparation is cumbersome; 2. The cell front side is a textured surface, and directly introducing the TOPCON structure results in low passivation and low cell efficiency; 3. The front side is fully covered with polysilicon, with serious parasitic absorption and low cell efficiency.
[0030] The defects existing in the above solutions are the results obtained by the inventor after practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present disclosure for the above problems below should be the contributions made by the inventor to the present disclosure during the disclosure process.
[0031] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.
[0032] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0033] The disclosed embodiment provides a high-efficiency combined passivation cell structure, comprising: an N-type silicon base having a light-receiving surface with a pyramid velvet morphology, on which a passivation contact region and a light-receiving region arranged in an interdigitated structure are arranged; an N+ inner expansion layer, a tunneling oxide layer, a phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer, a front conductive film layer and a silicon nitride layer are sequentially stacked on the passivation contact region; a passivation anti-reflection layer is stacked on the light-receiving region and on the outside of the silicon nitride layer of the passivation contact region; a metal electrode touching the front conductive film layer is also partially opened on the passivation contact region; and the pyramid velvet morphology is at the micrometer level in the light-receiving region and at the nanometer level in the passivation contact region.
[0034] In some embodiments, specifically, the N-type silicon substrate includes any one of a Czochralski single crystal and a cast single crystal.
[0035] In some embodiments, specifically, the width of the passivation contact region is 30 to 200 μm; the width of the light receiving region is 100 to 600 μm; and the ratio of the area of the passivation contact region to the area of the light receiving region is 1:1 to 1:6.
[0036] In some embodiments, specifically, the front conductive film layer includes any one or more combinations of metals, metal compounds and carbon-based compounds, including any one or more combinations of Ti, Cu, Sn, Al, Ag, Au, W, TiW, V, ITO, IWO, TiO, TiN, AZO and carbon fiber; the thickness of the front conductive film layer is 5nm to 100nm, and the square resistance is 0 to 120.
[0037] Specifically, in addition to using metal compounds such as ITO, the front conductive film layer can also be replaced by low-resistance base metals, which can greatly reduce the preparation cost while obtaining low contact resistance.
[0038] In some embodiments, specifically, the passivation and antireflection layer includes any one or a combination of multiple of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon nitride, magnesium fluoride, hydrogenated amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon; the thickness of the passivation and antireflection layer is 40 nm to 150 nm, and the refractive index is 1.8 to 2.2.
[0039] Specifically, the setting of the passivation and antireflection layer can avoid the influence of materials with high parasitic absorption such as amorphous silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and TCO on the battery, reduce the battery current loss, and at the same time, without using hydrogenated amorphous silicon, reduce the risk of ultraviolet attenuation of the battery.
[0040] In some embodiments, specifically, the depth of the N+ inner diffusion layer is 20 nm to 100 nm; the thickness of the tunneling oxide layer is 0.5 nm to 3 nm; the thickness of the phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer is 15 nm to 300 nm, and the effective doping concentration is 5E+19 cm -3 ~1E+22 cm -3 ; and the thickness ratio of the tunneling oxide layer to the phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer is 1:20 to 1:300.
[0041] In some embodiments, specifically, the reflectivity of the pyramid texture on the light-receiving surface in the light-receiving area is 9% to 12%, the pyramid height is 1 μm to 5 μm, and the pyramid width is 1 μm to 5 μm; the reflectivity of the pyramid texture on the light-receiving surface in the passivation contact area is 9% to 12%, the pyramid height is 0.6 μm to 1.2 μm, and the pyramid width is 0.8 μm to 1.5 μm.
[0042] Specifically, it is difficult to deposit a uniform tunneling oxide layer and doped amorphous silicon on the pyramid tips, edges, and valleys of the texture. During the annealing process, the tunneling oxide layer at the valleys and tips is extremely easy to thin or even disappear, resulting in a reduction in the surface chemical passivation quality and affecting the battery efficiency; compared with the micron-scale pyramid texture, the nano-scale pyramid texture is easier to deposit a uniform tunneling oxide layer and doped amorphous silicon, and during the annealing process, it can balance chemical passivation (tunneling oxide layer passivation) and field effect passivation (N+ inner diffusion passivation) to achieve high passivation performance.
[0043] In some embodiments, specifically, the backlight surface of the N-type silicon substrate has a micron-scale pyramid texture, and an intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous layer, a boron-doped hydrogenated amorphous layer, and a back conductive film layer are sequentially stacked on the micron-scale pyramid texture; wherein, a metal electrode is further provided on the back conductive film layer.

[0045] In some embodiments, specifically, the thickness of the intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous layer is 3 nm to 10 nm; the thickness of the boron-doped hydrogenated amorphous layer is 3 nm to 10 nm, and the doping concentration is 1E+19 cm -3 ~5E+19 cm -3 ; the thickness of the back conductive film layer is 10 nm to 30 nm, and the doping concentration is 5E+19 cm -3 ~2E+20 cm -3 .
[0046] In some embodiments, specifically, the metal electrode includes one or a combination of silver, copper, aluminum, and tin. The width of the metal electrode is 10 μm to 50 μm, and the height of the metal electrode is 5 μm to 20 μm.
[0047] The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a preparation method for the high-efficiency combined passivation battery structure as described above, including the following steps: Step S1, preparing a nano-scale small pyramid texture on the light-receiving surface and the backlight surface of the N-type silicon substrate to obtain the structure as Figure 1 shown, and the specific process is as Figure 2 shown; Clean the surface of the silicon wafer with a mixed solution of potassium hydroxide (1% - 10%) and hydrogen peroxide (5% - 15%) to remove the dirt on the surface of the silicon wafer. Process temperature: 55°C to 70°C, process time: 1 min to 3 min; Use water washing to remove the residual chemicals and dirt on the surface. Cleaning time: 2 min to 3 min; Use a mixed solution of potassium hydroxide (1% - 5%) and texturing additive (0.5% - 3%) to form a large pyramid texture on the front surface of the silicon wafer. Process temperature: 70°C to 75°C, process time (3 min to 4 min); In this step, use low-temperature, low-concentration alkali and low-concentration additive to remove the cutting damage of the silicon wafer and prepare a large pyramid texture on the surface of the silicon wafer; Specifically, in this step, the height of the pyramid is 3 - 4 μm, the width is 5 - 6 μm, and the reflectivity is 14% - 16%; Use a mixed solution of potassium hydroxide (5% - 10%) and texturing additive (3% - 5%) to perform secondary texturing on the surface of the silicon wafer to form a small pyramid texture. Process temperature: 75°C to 85°C, process time 3 min to 4 min; In this step, use high-temperature, high-concentration alkali and high-concentration additive to perform secondary texturing on the surface of the original large pyramid texture to prepare a small pyramid texture; Specifically, in this step, the height of the pyramid is: 0.8 μm to 1.4 μm, the width of the pyramid is: 1 μm to 1.7 μm; the reflectivity is: 8% - 11%; Use water washing to remove surface drug residues and dirt, cleaning time: 2 min - 3 min; Use a mixed solution of potassium hydroxide (1% - 10%) and hydrogen peroxide (5% - 15%) to clean the surface of the silicon wafer, removing the dirt on the surface of the silicon wafer, process temperature: 55 °C - 70 °C, process time: 1 min - 3 min; Use water washing to remove surface drug residues and dirt, cleaning time: 2 min - 3 min; Use a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid (0.1% - 2%), hydrochloric acid (0.1% - 2%) and O3 (10 ppm - 50 ppm) to clean the surface of the silicon wafer. At the same time, the weak etching system of O3 and HF corrodes the surface of the smooth pyramid, process temperature: 15 °C - 25 °C, process time: 3 min - 6 min; In this step, use the weak etching system of O3 and HF to weakly etch the silicon substrate on the surface of the original small pyramid texture, and reduce the volume of the pyramid again to form a nano-scale pyramid texture; Specifically, in this step, the pyramid height: 600 nm - 1200 nm, the pyramid width: 800 nm - 1500 nm, the reflectivity: 9% - 12%; Use water washing to remove surface drug residues and dirt, cleaning time: 2 min - 3 min; Use a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid (1% - 10%) and hydrochloric acid (1% - 10%) to clean the surface of the silicon wafer, process temperature: room temperature, process time: 3 min - 5 min; Use water washing to remove surface drug residues and dirt, cleaning time: 2 min - 3 min; Use slow lifting to remove the dirt on the surface of the silicon wafer and dehydrate the silicon wafer, cleaning time 0.5 min - 1 min, cleaning temperature: 20 °C - 70 °C; Place the silicon wafer in a drying tank, blow it with high temperature, dry the surface of the silicon wafer, the blowing gas: nitrogen or compressed air, temperature: 80 °C - 100 °C, drying time: 5 min - 15 min; The weight loss of the silicon wafer: 0.3 g - 0.5 g; (taking the 182.2 size silicon wafer as an example) Pyramid height: 600 nm - 1200 nm; Pyramid width: 800 nm - 1500 nm; Reflectivity: 9% - 12%; Specifically, the nano-scale small pyramid texture is more conducive to improving the deposition and annealing uniformity of the subsequent tip, edge and valley film layers, and improving passivation.
[0048] Step S2, a tunneling oxide layer and a phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer are sequentially deposited on the light-receiving surface to form a passivated contact structure, and high-temperature annealing is performed to form an N+ inner diffusion layer in the contact region between the tunneling oxide layer and the N-type silicon substrate, and annealing oxide layers are respectively formed on the outermost layers of the light-receiving surface and the backlight surface, obtaining the structure as shown in Figure 3 shown, and the specific process is as shown in Figure 4 shown; In this step, a tunneling oxide layer and phosphorus-doped amorphous silicon are first deposited on the front side of the silicon wafer, and then through high-temperature annealing, the phosphorus-doped amorphous silicon is crystallized into phosphorus-doped polysilicon, and at the same time, phosphorus atoms are pushed into the tunneling oxide layer and enter the silicon substrate to form tunneling pinholes, forming N+ inner diffusion; In this step, the tunneling oxide layer can be prepared by tube-type LP, PE, ALD, plate-type PE, PVD, ALD, or wet oxygen in a tank; Phosphorus-doped amorphous silicon can be prepared by plate-type PVD, PE, tube-type LP, or PE; The present invention preferably uses plate-type PECVD to prepare the tunneling oxide layer and plate-type PVD to prepare phosphorus-doped amorphous silicon. Plate-type PVD has the characteristics of single-sided deposition without plating around, fast deposition rate, easy in-situ doping, and easy crystallization. At the same time, plate-type equipment has the advantage of integrating different types of film layers for coating, reducing equipment investment and the frequency of breaking the vacuum for battery coating; The present invention uses plate-type PECVD to prepare the tunneling oxide layer, which can be prepared using O2, O3, N2O, or a combination of SiH4 and one or more of the above gases. The present invention preferably uses O2 with low cost and high safety for preparation; In this step, the phosphorus doping source can be phosphine, phosphorus, a phosphorus-doped target, etc.; The present invention preferably uses phosphine as the doping gas. Phosphine has the characteristics of high doping efficiency, easy decomposition, etc., and has high matching with PVD coating; The specific implementation steps and results are as follows: The front side of the polished silicon wafer is oxidized by plate-type PECVD to prepare a tunneling oxide layer, and a layer of phosphorus-doped amorphous silicon is deposited on the front side of the oxidized silicon wafer by plate-type PVD, and phosphorus-doped polysilicon and N+ inner diffusion are prepared by high-temperature oxidation annealing; The polished silicon wafer is placed on a perforated carrier plate, which is transferred to the loading chamber 1. The chamber is evacuated, and the carrier plate is transferred to the PECVD1 reaction chamber 1.
