Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar cells, and more specifically, to a back-contact solar cell resistant to hot spot effects and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Hot spot effect refers to the phenomenon where, when some cells in a solar cell module are shaded, the inability to output current leads to a voltage increase, resulting in localized hot spots on those cells. Back-contact solar cells, due to the absence of electrodes on their front side, minimize optical losses and increase short-circuit current density, thus exhibiting high photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, existing back-contact solar cells face a technical challenge: how to effectively prevent hot spot effect while improving photoelectric conversion efficiency. To prevent hot spot effect, existing back-contact solar cells typically employ the Zener breakdown principle, overlapping portions of the first and second doped layers to form leakage channels and release heat. However, this method requires a large number of leakage channels to achieve effective hot spot prevention, and a large number of leakage channels can lead to increased carrier recombination during normal operation, reducing photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0003] Furthermore, the TBC battery fabrication process requires a high concentration of doped layers. Excessive doping concentration leads to severe Auger recombination, reducing minority carrier lifetime and consequently affecting battery efficiency. The concentration threshold also limits the leakage capability of individual leakage channels, resulting in weak leakage capability in reverse bias. To achieve the required leakage capability, a large number of leakage channels are needed. However, the doping concentration threshold limits the barrier height of the PN junction of the leakage channels. In forward bias, carriers can easily recombine across the barrier of the leakage channel, further reducing cell efficiency; the more channels, the greater the efficiency loss. For example, the invention patent CN117976743A discloses a solar cell, battery module, and photovoltaic system. The solar cell includes a silicon wafer, a first doped layer, and a second doped layer. The second doped layer forms a leakage recombination contact structure with the first doped layer at a predetermined location, which can reduce the risk of hot spots while ensuring that the conversion efficiency of the solar cell does not suffer excessive loss. However, even with effective control of hot spots, a 0.3% efficiency loss is still a relatively large value for solar cells. Therefore, how to achieve efficient hot spot prevention in back-contact solar cells while avoiding efficiency loss caused by excessive leakage channels has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0004] In view of this, the inventors conducted in-depth research to address this need, which led to the present invention. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve the hot spot effect in existing back-contact solar cells, and to address the problem of increased carrier recombination and reduced photoelectric conversion efficiency caused by improving the hot spot effect, this application provides a back-contact solar cell with anti-hot spot effect and its fabrication method, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0006] A back-contact battery resistant to hot spot effect includes a silicon substrate. The back side of the silicon substrate has a plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions, the first regions and second regions having opposite polarities and alternating along a first direction. A third region is provided at the connection point of each of the first and second regions. The first, second, and third regions all extend along a second direction, which intersects the first direction perpendicularly. The first region includes a first passivation layer and a first doped layer sequentially stacked on the back side of the silicon substrate. The second region includes a second passivation layer and a second doped layer sequentially stacked on the back side of the silicon substrate. A fourth region is provided on the side of the first region near the second region, and the fourth region is uniformly distributed along the second direction on the side of the first region. The fourth region includes a gradient lightly doped region in composite contact with the first doped layer, and a heavily doped region in composite contact with the second passivation layer is provided away from the back side of the silicon substrate from the gradient lightly doped region.

[0007] By configuring the fourth region as a heavily doped region in composite contact with the first doped region and a gradually lightly doped region in composite contact with the second doped region, wherein the heavily doped region and the second doped layer form a high-barrier vertical junction, and the gradually lightly doped region and the second doped layer form an auxiliary lateral junction, both exhibiting a strong Zener breakdown effect. Furthermore, the stacked design of the heavily doped region and the gradually lightly doped region creates a dual-channel conductivity capability of lateral light-doped conductivity and vertical heavy-doped conductivity, with the ratio of lateral light-doped conductivity to vertical heavy-doped conductivity ranging from 0.5:1 to 2:1.

[0008] Preferably, the doping element in the heavily doped region is boron, and the doping concentration is 1×10⁻⁶. 21 ~1×10 23 cm -3 The vertical doping depth is 10~20nm; the doping element in the gradient light doping region is boron, and the gradient doping concentration along the first doped layer from the outside to the inside is 1×10⁻⁶. 21 cm -3 Up to 1×10 17 cm -3 .

[0009] Preferably, the barrier height formed by the heavily doped region and the second doped layer is 0.1~0.5 eV higher than the barrier height formed by the gradually lightly doped region and the second doped layer.

[0010] By creating a barrier height difference of 0.1~0.5eV, it is difficult for charge carriers in a single leakage channel, which are in a forward bias state during normal operation, to cross the barrier. This further reduces charge carrier recombination within the single leakage channel during normal operation, thereby achieving efficient hot spot prevention and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Moreover, when the barrier height of the vertical junction is higher than that of the horizontal junction, the probability of charge carrier recombination during normal operation is lower than that of the horizontal junction, while its reverse leakage capability is also higher. This further enhances the leakage capability of a single leakage channel while further reducing efficiency loss.

[0011] Preferably, the first passivation layer is a tunneling oxide layer with a thickness of 3-10 nm, and the first doped layer is a boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer with a doping thickness of 150-350 nm and a doping concentration of 5 × 10⁻⁶ nm. 19 ~1×10 20 cm -3 The second passivation layer is a tunneling oxide layer with a thickness of 3-10 nm; the second doped layer is a phosphorus-doped polycrystalline silicon layer with a doping thickness of 150-300 nm and a doping concentration of 1×10⁻⁶. 20 ~1×10 22 cm -3 .

[0012] Preferably, the front side of the silicon substrate includes, from the inside out, a front passivation layer and a front antireflection layer; the back side of the silicon substrate includes, from the inside out, a first region / second region, a back passivation layer, a back antireflection layer, and an electrode; the first region and the second region have opposite polarities and are arranged alternately along the first direction; a third region is provided at the connection between the first region and the second region; the first region, the second region, and the third region all extend along the second direction, which intersects the first direction perpendicularly; a fourth region is provided on the side of the first region near the second region, and the fourth region is uniformly distributed on the side of the first region along the second direction; the fourth region includes a gradient lightly doped region that is in composite contact with the first doped layer; the gradient lightly doped region is provided away from the back side of the silicon substrate and has a heavily doped region that is in composite contact with the second passivation layer; the electrode includes a first electrode and a second electrode; the first electrode penetrates the back antireflection layer and the back passivation layer to form an ohmic contact with the first doped layer; the second electrode penetrates the back antireflection layer and the back passivation layer to form an ohmic contact with the second doped layer.

[0013] This application also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned back contact battery, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Select a silicon substrate and place it in a tank-type alkaline solution for polishing;

[0015] Step 2: Sequentially deposit the first passivation layer and the first doped layer on the entire back side of the silicon substrate;

[0016] Step 3: Deposit a BSG layer on the back side of the silicon substrate;

[0017] Step four: Use a laser beam to ablate the back side of the silicon substrate at intervals, and use an alkaline solution to etch the silicon substrate to form an unablated first region, a second region exposing the silicon substrate, and a third region exposing the silicon substrate, respectively.

[0018] Step 5: Use a laser beam to irradiate the side portion of the BSG layer near the second region in the first region to form the fourth region. After being irradiated by the laser beam, the boron element in the BSG layer diffuses longitudinally into the first doped layer to form a heavily doped region.

[0019] Step 6: Anneal the heavily doped region to redistribute boron elements within the first doped layer, forming a gradually lightly doped region.

[0020] Step 7: Sequentially deposit the second passivation layer, the second doped layer, and the PSG layer on the entire back side of the silicon substrate;

[0021] Step 8: Use a laser beam to ablate the PSG layers in the first and third regions on the back side of the silicon substrate, and use strong acid to etch the front and side surfaces of the silicon substrate to expose the silicon substrate on the front and side surfaces respectively.

[0022] Step 9: Clean the surfaces of the first and third regions with alkaline solution and strong acid respectively, and simultaneously texturize the front side of the silicon substrate and the third region to expose the silicon substrate in the third region, and clean the PSG in the second region.

[0023] Step 10: Deposit a front passivation layer and a back passivation layer on the front and back sides of the silicon substrate;

[0024] Step 11: Deposit antireflective layers on the front and back sides of the silicon substrate;

[0025] Step 12: Perform paste printing and metal sintering on the silicon substrate.

[0026] Preferably, in step three, the thickness of the BSG layer deposited on the back side of the silicon substrate is 50~100nm; in step seven, the thickness of the PSG layer deposited on the back side of the silicon substrate is 50~100nm.

[0027] Preferably, step four specifically includes: using the laser beam to ablate the BSG layers in the second and third regions, wherein the laser beam is a pulsed laser with a pulse width of 5-30 ps, ​​a wavelength of 355 nm or 532 nm, a spot size of 150-300 μm, and an energy density of 4 × 10⁻⁶.3 j / m 2 ~9×10 3 j / m 2 The overlap rate is 10-80%; after etching with NaOH, the surface of the first region still has a BSG layer of 10-40 nm, and the surface height of the first region is 1-5 μm higher than the surface height of the second region.

[0028] Preferably, step five specifically includes: irradiating the BSG layer in the fourth region with the laser beam, wherein the BSG layer serves as a boron source for longitudinal diffusion into the first doped layer; the laser beam is a pulsed laser with a pulse width of 5-30 ps, ​​a wavelength of 355 nm or 532 nm, a spot size of 150-300 μm, and an energy density of 3.55 × 10⁻⁶. 3 j / m 2 ~6.5×10 3 j / m 2 The overlap rate is 10-80%.

[0029] The BSG layer, acting as an isolation layer, blocks longitudinal conductivity, rendering the heavily doped region non-conductive. Therefore, by irradiating the BSG layer with a laser in step five, the remaining BSG isolation layer can be modified into an active layer, enabling the heavily doped region in the fourth region to conduct electricity. Simultaneously, the conductivity of a single leakage channel is significantly improved, while controlling the doping concentration to 1×10⁻⁶. 21 ~1×10 23 cm -3 Furthermore, doping depths of 10-20 nm are easily achievable in industrial-scale production, and the Zener breakdown effect of the heavily doped region is relatively good.

[0030] Preferably, step six specifically includes: annealing the heavily doped region to redistribute boron elements within the first doped layer, with an annealing temperature of 800~1000℃ and an annealing time of 30~90min.

[0031] The gradient effect of the lightly doped region can be achieved by annealing the vertically doped region. However, step seven, which involves the sequential deposition of the second passivation layer, the second doped layer, and the PSG layer, also requires deposition at a high temperature. Therefore, step six can be omitted. However, since the main purpose of step seven is to deposit other substances, and the process parameters are mainly focused on depositing other substances, the annealing effect is not as good as annealing alone, and the conductivity of the leakage channel is also not as good as annealing alone. However, the conductivity of the leakage channel is still significantly improved compared to the heavily doped state. From a cost perspective, it can be eliminated.

[0032] Preferably, step eight specifically includes: ablating the PSG layers in the first region and the third region using the laser beam, wherein the laser beam is a pulsed laser with a pulse width of 5-30 ps, ​​a wavelength of 355 nm or 532 nm, a spot size of 150-300 μm, and an energy density of 2 × 10⁻⁶. 3 j / m 2 ~4×10 3 j / m 2 The overlap rate is 10-50%; the strong acid is etched using HF and HNO3.

[0033] Preferably, in step nine, alkaline solution and strong acid are used to clean the second doped layer and the remaining BSG layer on the surface of the first region and the second doped layer in the third region, respectively, and simultaneously texturing is performed on the front side of the silicon substrate and the third region to expose the silicon substrate in the third region and clean the PSG in the second region; after texturing, the reflectivity of the textured surface on the front side of the silicon substrate is 5~10%, and the surface height of the second region is 1~3μm higher than the surface height of the third region.

[0034] Preferably, in step ten, an ALD process is used to deposit a front passivation layer and a back passivation layer with a thickness of 4-10 nm on the front and back sides of the silicon substrate, respectively; in step eleven, a PECVD process is used to deposit a front antireflection layer and a back antireflection layer with a thickness of 50-100 nm on the front and back sides of the silicon substrate, respectively.

[0035] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of this invention are as follows:

[0036] (1) By using laser beams and process improvements, the leakage channels formed in the fourth region are adjusted to heavily doped regions and gradually lightly doped regions, which significantly enhances the leakage capacity of a single leakage channel. This reduces the number of leakage channels required and also reduces carrier recombination during normal operation of a single leakage channel, achieving the goals of efficient hot spot prevention and high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0037] (2) The barrier height formed by the heavily doped region and the second doped layer is 0.1~0.5eV higher than the barrier height formed by the gradually lightly doped region and the second doped layer. This makes it difficult for the carriers in the leakage channel, which are in a forward bias state during normal operation, to cross the barrier. This further reduces the recombination of carriers in the cell during normal operation, thereby achieving efficient hot spot prevention and high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] This embodiment utilizes a laser beam and process improvements to adjust the leakage channel formed in the fourth region into a heavily doped region and a gradually lightly doped region, significantly enhancing the leakage capability of a single leakage channel. This reduces the required number of leakage channels while also decreasing carrier recombination during normal operation of a single leakage channel, achieving the goals of efficient hot spot prevention and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0045] A back-contact battery resistant to hot spot effect includes a silicon substrate. The back side of the silicon substrate has a plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions, the first regions and second regions having opposite polarities and alternating along a first direction. A third region is provided at the connection point of each of the first and second regions. The first, second, and third regions all extend along a second direction, which intersects the first direction perpendicularly. The first region includes a first passivation layer and a first doped layer sequentially stacked on the back side of the silicon substrate. The second region includes a second passivation layer and a second doped layer sequentially stacked on the back side of the silicon substrate. A fourth region is provided on the side of the first region near the second region, and the fourth region is uniformly distributed along the second direction on the side of the first region. The fourth region includes a gradient lightly doped region in composite contact with the first doped layer, and a heavily doped region in composite contact with the second passivation layer is provided away from the back side of the silicon substrate from the gradient lightly doped region.

[0046] By configuring the fourth region as a heavily doped region in composite contact with the first doped region and a gradually lightly doped region in composite contact with the second doped region, wherein the heavily doped region and the second doped layer form a high-barrier vertical junction, and the gradually lightly doped region and the second doped layer form an auxiliary lateral junction, both exhibiting strong Zener breakdown effects. Furthermore, the stacked design of the heavily doped region and the gradually lightly doped region creates a dual-channel conductivity capability of lateral light-doped conductivity and vertical heavy-doped conductivity, with the ratio of lateral light-doped conductivity to vertical heavy-doped conductivity ranging from 0.5:1 to 2:1.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the doping element in the heavily doped region is boron, and the doping concentration is 1×10⁻⁶. 21 ~1×10 23 cm -3 The vertical doping depth is 10~20nm; the doping element in the gradient light doping region is boron, and the gradient doping concentration along the first doped layer from the outside to the inside is 1×10⁻⁶. 21 cm -3 Up to 1×10 17 cm -3 .

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the barrier height formed by the heavily doped region and the second doped layer is 0.1~0.5 eV higher than the barrier height formed by the gradually lightly doped region and the second doped layer.

[0049] By creating a barrier height difference of 0.1~0.5eV, it is difficult for charge carriers in a single leakage channel, which are in a forward bias state during normal operation, to cross the barrier. This further reduces charge carrier recombination within the single leakage channel during normal operation, thereby achieving efficient hot spot prevention and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Moreover, when the barrier height of the vertical junction is higher than that of the horizontal junction, the probability of charge carrier recombination during normal operation is lower than that of the horizontal junction, while its reverse leakage capability is also higher. This further enhances the leakage capability of a single leakage channel while further reducing efficiency loss.

[0068] The BSG layer, acting as an isolation layer, blocks longitudinal conductivity, rendering the heavily doped region non-conductive. Therefore, by irradiating the BSG layer with a laser in step five, the remaining BSG isolation layer can be modified into an active layer, enabling the heavily doped region in the fourth region to conduct electricity.
