Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly to a method for preparing a solar cell. Background Art
[0002] Currently, in silicon-based solar cells, the TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology is to prepare a tunneling oxide layer and a doped polysilicon layer on the back surface of the cell, which can achieve the selective passage of carriers and block the recombination of minority carriers (holes). The chemical passivation of the tunneling oxide layer and the field passivation effect of the doped polysilicon layer can greatly improve the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the solar cell.
[0003] Among many preparation routes, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and annealing processes are favored by investors due to their high process integration and mature technology. For example, a tunneling oxide layer and an in-situ doped amorphous silicon layer are first prepared by PECVD, then SiH4 and N2O are introduced to prepare a silicon oxide mask on the surface of the in-situ doped amorphous silicon layer, and then, the doped amorphous silicon layer is crystallized into a doped polysilicon layer by high-temperature annealing.
[0004] However, the silicon oxide mask prepared by the above process has poor compactness and weak protection ability for the underlying doped polysilicon layer, which leads to the easy corrosion of the doped polysilicon layer, thus affecting the cell efficiency. At the same time, there are problems such as uneven heating of the doped amorphous silicon layer during high-temperature annealing, which is not conducive to improving the crystallization uniformity of the doped polysilicon layer and further reduces the cell efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on this, some embodiments of the present application provide a method for preparing a solar cell, which can improve the compactness of the silicon oxide mask and the crystallization uniformity of the doped polysilicon layer while saving processes, thereby improving the cell efficiency as a whole.

[0022] Optionally, the preparation method further includes: a furnace pressure recovery stage. The target temperature of the furnace pressure recovery stage is the same as the target temperature of the third temperature reduction stage.

[0025] The beneficial technical effects of the preparation method of the solar cell provided by this application are as follows:
[0026] In the presence of an oxygen-containing gas, annealing the substrate on which the first amorphous silicon thin film and the silicon oxide mask layer are formed can enable the oxygen-containing gas to continue to oxidize the surface of the silicon oxide mask layer at a higher annealing temperature, thereby improving the density of the silicon oxide mask layer and realizing the densification treatment of the silicon oxide mask layer. At the same time, high-temperature annealing can also convert the first amorphous silicon thin film into a first polycrystalline silicon thin film, synchronize the densification treatment of the silicon oxide mask layer and the crystallization of amorphous silicon, save processes, and is beneficial for the dense silicon oxide mask to protect the underlying first polycrystalline silicon thin film, reduce the corrosion of the first polycrystalline silicon thin film in subsequent wet processes, and improve the battery efficiency.
[0027] In addition, in the first stage, the temperature is increased in a stepped manner, which can make the temperatures of each temperature zone as consistent as possible, and the uniformity of the whole boat is good. At the same time, during this process, by controlling the changes in the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced and the pumping flow rate, for example, controlling both the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced and the pumping flow rate to be relatively low, and using the heat-carrying and heat-preserving effect of the carrier gas to increase the stability of the temperature rise of the temperature field while adjusting the pressure in the annealing furnace to be relatively high. In the third stage, the temperature is decreased in a stepped manner, which can also keep the temperatures of each temperature zone as consistent as possible. At the same time, during this process, by controlling the changes in the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced and the pumping flow rate, for example, controlling both the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced and the pumping flow rate to be relatively high, and using the heat-carrying and heat-dissipating effect of the carrier gas to maintain the consistency of the temperature drop of each temperature zone while adjusting the pressure in the annealing furnace to be relatively low, thereby reducing problems such as crystallization differences in each temperature zone.
[0028] Furthermore, the inventors also found that: by adjusting the pressure in the annealing furnace in the first stage to be 200 Pa - 300 Pa higher than that in the second stage, and the pressure in the annealing furnace in the third stage to be 100 Pa - 150 Pa lower than that in the second stage, the temperature differences in each temperature zone of the annealing furnace can be kept small, thereby reducing the crystallization differences in different temperature zones and improving the uniformity of the whole boat.
[0029] In summary, in the method for preparing a solar cell provided in the embodiments of the present application, while saving processes, the denseness of the silicon oxide mask layer can be improved, and the crystallization uniformity of the doped polysilicon layer can be improved, thereby overall enhancing the battery efficiency.

[0055] In view of the problems in the related art that the compactness of the silicon oxide mask is poor, the protection ability for the underlying doped polysilicon layer is weak, resulting in the doped polysilicon layer being easily corroded, thus affecting the battery efficiency, and there is uneven heating of the doped amorphous silicon layer during high-temperature annealing, further reducing the battery efficiency, etc., the specific implementation manners of the present application are as follows:
[0056] In a first aspect, some embodiments of the present application provide a method for manufacturing a solar cell, as Figure 1 shown, the manufacturing method includes the following steps S11 to S13:
[0057] S11. Provide a substrate, which has a first surface and a second surface oppositely arranged along its thickness direction;
[0058] Among them, taking this solar cell as a silicon-based solar cell as an example, the substrate can be a silicon wafer after texturing and alkaline polishing, and a PN junction is formed on the silicon wafer.
[0059] S12. Sequentially form a first amorphous silicon thin film and a silicon oxide mask layer on one side of the first surface of the substrate;
[0060] The first amorphous silicon thin film can be a doped amorphous silicon thin film or an undoped amorphous silicon thin film, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0061] In some embodiments, the first amorphous silicon thin film is a doped amorphous silicon thin film. At this time, before S12, the manufacturing method may further include: forming a tunneling oxide layer on one side of the first surface of the substrate, and the tunneling oxide layer is between the substrate and the first amorphous silicon thin film. At this time, this solar cell can be a TOPCon cell.
[0062] S13. Anneal the substrate on which the first amorphous silicon thin film and the silicon oxide mask layer are formed;
[0063] The annealing includes: a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage carried out in sequence. The first stage is heated by a stepwise temperature increase method, the second stage is kept warm in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas, and the third stage is cooled by a stepwise temperature decrease method;
[0064] In the first stage, control the air pressure in the annealing furnace to be 200 Pa to 300 Pa higher than the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the second stage. In the third stage, control the air pressure in the annealing furnace to be 100 Pa to 150 Pa lower than the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the second stage.
[0065] Among them, in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas, annealing the substrate on which the first amorphous silicon thin film and the silicon oxide mask layer are formed enables the oxygen-containing gas to continue to oxidize the surface of the silicon oxide mask layer at a higher annealing temperature, thereby improving the density of the silicon oxide mask layer and achieving densification treatment of the silicon oxide mask layer. At the same time, high-temperature annealing can also convert the first amorphous silicon thin film into the first polycrystalline silicon thin film, synchronizing the densification treatment of the silicon oxide mask layer and the crystallization of amorphous silicon, saving processes, and being beneficial for the dense silicon oxide mask to protect the underlying first polycrystalline silicon thin film, reducing the corrosion of the first polycrystalline silicon thin film in subsequent wet processes and improving the battery efficiency.
[0066] Among them, the stepwise heating method does not directly raise the annealing temperature to the target temperature, but instead, like climbing stairs, raises the temperature in several stages, gradually increasing the temperature according to a predetermined stage and rate. Each stage has a specific temperature range and residence time, enabling more precise control of the heating process.
[0067] Similarly, the stepwise cooling method does not directly lower the annealing temperature to the furnace opening temperature, but instead, like going down stairs, lowers the temperature in several stages, gradually decreasing the temperature according to a predetermined stage and rate. Each stage has a specific temperature range and residence time, enabling more precise control of the cooling process.
[0068] During the research process, the inventors found that: during the above heating and cooling processes, the heating rates at various locations in the annealing furnace are inconsistent. In particular, a large amount of heat is lost in the area near the furnace door during the process of loading and unloading the boat, and the heating rate is slower compared to the area at the furnace tail, causing crystallization differences in each temperature zone and resulting in poor convergence of the final efficiency.
[0069] On the basis above, the inventor further found that: in the first stage, by means of stepwise heating, the temperature of each temperature zone can be made as consistent as possible, and the uniformity of the whole boat is good. At the same time, in this process, by controlling the changes in the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced and the pumping flow rate, for example, by controlling both the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced and the pumping flow rate to be relatively low, while using the heat-carrying and heat-preserving effect of the carrier gas to increase the temperature stability of the temperature field while adjusting the air pressure in the annealing furnace to be relatively high. In the third stage, by means of stepwise cooling, the temperature of each temperature zone can also be kept as consistent as possible. At the same time, in this process, by controlling the changes in the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced and the pumping flow rate, for example, by controlling both the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced and the pumping flow rate to be relatively high, while using the heat-carrying and heat-dissipating effect of the carrier gas to maintain the consistency of temperature reduction in each temperature zone while adjusting the air pressure in the annealing furnace to be relatively low, thereby reducing problems such as crystallization differences in each temperature zone. At the same time, the inventor also found that: by adjusting the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the first stage to be 200 Pa to 300 Pa higher than that in the second stage, and the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the third stage to be 100 Pa to 150 Pa lower than that in the second stage, the temperature difference between each temperature zone in the annealing furnace can be kept small, thereby reducing the crystallization difference in different temperature zones and improving the uniformity of the whole boat.
[0070] In summary, in the method for preparing a solar cell provided in the embodiment of the present application, while saving processes, the compactness of the silicon oxide mask layer can be improved, and the crystallization uniformity of the doped polysilicon layer can be improved, thereby overall enhancing the battery efficiency.
[0071] In some embodiments, the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the second stage is 200 Pa to 300 Pa. Exemplarily, the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the second stage can be controlled at 200 Pa, 210 Pa, 220 Pa, 230 Pa, 240 Pa, 250 Pa, 260 Pa, 270 Pa, 280 Pa, 290 Pa or 300 Pa, etc.
[0072] In these embodiments, in the first stage, the air pressure in the annealing furnace can be 300 Pa to 600 Pa, and in the third stage, the air pressure in the annealing furnace can be 50 Pa to 200 Pa.
[0073] For example, when the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the second stage is 200 Pa, since the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the first stage is 200 Pa - 300 Pa higher than that in the annealing furnace in the second stage, in the first stage, the air pressure in the annealing furnace can be 400 Pa, 410 Pa, 420 Pa, 430 Pa, 440 Pa, 450 Pa, 460 Pa, 470 Pa, 480 Pa, 490 Pa or 500 Pa, etc. When the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the second stage is 250 Pa, since the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the first stage is 200 Pa - 300 Pa higher than the air pressure in the annealing furnace during annealing, in the first stage, the air pressure in the annealing furnace can be 450 Pa, 460 Pa, 470 Pa, 480 Pa, 490 Pa, 500 Pa, 510 Pa, 520 Pa, 530 Pa, 540 Pa or 550 Pa, etc.; when the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the second stage is 300 Pa, since the air pressure in the annealing furnace in the first stage is 200 Pa - 300 Pa higher than that in the annealing furnace in the second stage, in the first stage, the air pressure in the annealing furnace can be 500 Pa, 510 Pa, 520 Pa, 530 Pa, 540 Pa, 550 Pa, 560 Pa, 570 Pa, 580 Pa, 590 Pa or 600 Pa, etc.
[0074] In some embodiments, the oxygen-containing gas described above includes oxygen. During the annealing process, the flow rate ratio of the carrier gas to the oxygen-containing gas is (1 - 22.5):1.
[0075] In some embodiments, the flow rate ratio of the carrier gas to the oxygen-containing gas is (1 - 9):1, and further preferably 3:1.
[0076] In these embodiments, the density of the silicon oxide mask layer can be increased as much as possible.
[0077] In some embodiments, when the flow rate ratio of the carrier gas to the oxygen-containing gas is (1 - 9):1, the flow rate of the carrier gas can be 1500 sccm - 4500 sccm, and the flow rate of oxygen can be 500 sccm - 1500 sccm.
[0078] In these embodiments, by controlling the flow rates of the carrier gas and oxygen within the above ranges respectively, the temperature fluctuations in different temperature zones can be minimized to the greatest extent, and a relatively high density of the silicon oxide mask layer can be maintained.
[0079] In some embodiments, the above temperature increase at least includes: a first temperature increase stage, a second temperature increase stage, and a third temperature increase stage that are sequentially performed. The target temperature of the first temperature increase stage is 70°C to 80°C lower than the temperature of the second stage, the target temperature of the second temperature increase stage is 50°C to 60°C lower than the temperature of the second stage, and the target temperature of the third temperature increase stage is 30°C to 40°C lower than the temperature of the second stage.
[0080] In these embodiments, the inventors found that: by controlling the differences between the target temperatures of the first temperature increase stage, the second temperature increase stage, and the third temperature increase stage and the temperature of the second stage within the above ranges respectively, it is possible to combine with the gas pressure in the annealing furnace as much as possible to maximize the temperature consistency of each temperature zone and the temperature increase stability of the temperature field.
[0081] In some embodiments, the temperature of the second stage can be 910°C to 930°C.
[0082] In these embodiments, the denseness of the silicon oxide mask and the crystallization degree of the first polysilicon layer can be maximally improved, and the battery efficiency can be increased; meanwhile, the target temperature of the first temperature increase stage can be 830°C to 860°C, the target temperature of the second temperature increase stage can be 850°C to 880°C, and the target temperature of the third temperature increase stage can be 870°C to 900°C.
[0083] In some embodiments, the preparation method further includes:
[0084] After the first stage and before the second stage, perform a first evacuation treatment on the gas in the annealing furnace; and / or,
[0085] After the second stage and before the third stage, perform a second evacuation treatment on the gas in the annealing furnace.
[0086] In these embodiments, after the first stage and before the second stage, by performing a first evacuation process on the gas in the annealing furnace, it is convenient to subsequently fill the reaction gases such as oxygen-containing gas and carrier gas in the annealing furnace, which is beneficial to the uniform reaction of the reaction gases with the surface of the first amorphous silicon film facing away from the substrate, and further improves the density and uniformity of the first mask. At the same time, through the first evacuation process, the carrier gas in the annealing furnace after heating can also be quickly evacuated, so that when the oxygen-containing gas and carrier gas are subsequently introduced, the temperature consistency of each temperature zone can be maintained as much as possible, and the low-temperature oxygen-containing gas and carrier gas during the introduction of the oxygen-containing gas and carrier gas can be reduced from causing different degrees of disturbance to the temperatures of different temperature zones, resulting in temperature fluctuations in different temperature zones, and the temperature stability and uniformity of the temperature field during the annealing process can be further improved. After the second stage and before the third stage, by performing a second evacuation process on the gas in the annealing furnace, it is convenient to quickly evacuate the remaining reaction gases during the heat preservation process, so that the temperatures of each temperature zone in the subsequent third stage can be as consistent as possible, and the low-temperature carrier gas during the introduction of the carrier gas can also be reduced from causing different degrees of disturbance to the temperatures of different temperature zones, resulting in temperature fluctuations in different temperature zones, and the cooling stability and uniformity of the temperature field can be further improved.
[0087] In some embodiments, after the first evacuation process, the air pressure in the annealing furnace is 100 Pa to 200 Pa; and / or,
[0088] After the second evacuation process, the air pressure in the annealing furnace is 100 Pa to 200 Pa.
[0089] In these embodiments, the inventors found that by controlling the air pressure in the annealing furnace to be 100 Pa to 200 Pa after the first evacuation process, the reaction uniformity of the subsequent reaction gases can be improved as much as possible, thereby improving the density and uniformity of the first mask as much as possible, and at the same time improving the temperature stability and uniformity of the temperature field during the subsequent second-stage heat preservation process as much as possible. By controlling the air pressure in the annealing furnace to be 100 Pa to 200 Pa after the second evacuation process, the cooling stability and uniformity of the temperature field can be improved as much as possible.
[0090] In some embodiments, the above cooling at least includes: a first cooling stage, a second cooling stage, and a third cooling stage that are sequentially performed. The target temperature of the first cooling stage is 30°C to 50°C lower than the temperature of the second stage, the target temperature of the second cooling stage is 60°C to 80°C lower than the temperature of the second stage, and the target temperature of the third cooling stage is 130°C to 150°C lower than the temperature of the second stage.
[0091] In these embodiments, the inventors found that by controlling the target temperature in the first temperature reduction stage, the target temperature in the second temperature reduction stage, and the difference between the target temperature in the third temperature reduction stage and the temperature in the second stage within the above ranges respectively, it is possible to combine with the air pressure in the annealing furnace as much as possible to maximize the temperature consistency of each temperature zone and the temperature reduction stability of the temperature field.
[0092] In some embodiments, the temperature in the second stage can be 910 °C. At this time, the target temperature in the first temperature reduction stage can be 860 °C to 880 °C, the target temperature in the second temperature reduction stage can be 830 °C to 850 °C, and the target temperature in the third temperature reduction stage can be 760 °C to 780 °C.

[0095] In these embodiments, by controlling the target temperature in the furnace pressure recovery stage to be the same as the target temperature in the third temperature reduction stage, it is possible to reduce temperature fluctuations as much as possible, maintain the temperature consistency of each temperature zone, and keep the temperature distribution in each temperature zone relatively uniform and lasting at a higher temperature, which is convenient for improving the crystallization effect of the first polysilicon thin film. By dividing the furnace pressure recovery stage into a first furnace pressure recovery stage and a second furnace pressure recovery stage that are carried out in sequence, it is possible to achieve gradient pressure increase at a higher temperature, which is convenient for maintaining better temperature uniformity and holding time in each temperature zone at a higher temperature, and can further stabilize the temperature reduction stability and uniformity of the temperature field and improve the annealing effect.
[0096] In some embodiments, in the first furnace pressure recovery stage, the flow rate of the carrier gas introduced into the annealing furnace is 15000 sccm to 20000 sccm, and the pumping flow rate of the annealing furnace is adjusted to 8000 sccm to 20000 sccm to control the air pressure in the annealing furnace to be 300 Pa to 600 Pa.

[0097] In these embodiments, by controlling the pressure in the annealing furnace within the above range, the rapid replacement of the gas in the annealing furnace under low pressure can help the annealing furnace cool down rapidly, and at the same time, the temperature uniformity of each temperature zone is maintained through the gradient cooling setting.

[0150] Test example
[0151] The performance of the solar cells provided in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Example 1 was tested. The specific test results are shown in Table 1 below:
[0152] Table 1
[0153]
[0154] It can be seen from Table 1 that the efficiency of the solar cells provided in the examples of the present application is significantly better than that of the solar cells provided in Comparative Example 1, especially in terms of the open-circuit voltage and fill factor. Among them, Example 1 has the highest efficiency. The holding temperature of annealing in Examples 2 to 3 is different from that in Example 1, and the efficiency decreases slightly. In Examples 4 to 6, the evacuation step is not carried out compared with Example 1, which causes differences in the gas fields of various parts of the annealing furnace during the holding stage and the cooling stage, resulting in a decrease in the uniformity of some cells and a reduction in the average efficiency. In Example 7, the step-by-step backpressure step is not carried out compared with Example 1, which is not conducive to the stability in the annealing furnace and also affects the uniformity of the whole group, resulting in a slight decrease in the overall efficiency.
