[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a solar cell contact structure 10. The solar cell contact structure 10 includes a substrate 101, a first doping layer 102, a second doping layer 103, and a third doping layer 104. The first doping layer 102 and the second doping layer 103 are disposed at intervals on the back surface of the substrate 101, and the doping types of the first doping layer 102 and the second doping layer 103 are opposite. The third doping layer 104 is disposed on the surface of the first doping layer 102 away from the substrate 101, and the doping type of the third doping layer 104 is the same as that of the first doping layer 102. In the thickness direction of the substrate 101, the surface of the third doping layer 104 protrudes from the second doping layer 103.
[0035] In the solar cell contact structure 10 of this embodiment, a first doped layer 102 and a second doped layer 103 with opposite doping types are arranged at intervals to form a basic structure for carrier transport. A third doped layer 104 is located on the surface of the first doped layer 102 away from the substrate 101, and in the thickness direction of the substrate 101, the surface of the third doped layer 104 protrudes from the second doped layer 103. At this time, a height difference can be formed between the third doped layer 104 and the second doped layer 103. During the transfer process of the solar cell contact structure 10, the third doped layer 104 can contact the transfer medium, enabling the second doped layer 103 to be in a suspended state. In this way, the contact between the second doped layer 103 and the transfer medium can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the second doped layer 103 being scratched by the transfer medium. In addition, since the third doped layer 104 is located on the surface of the first doped layer 102, the third doped layer 104 can protect the first doped layer 102, reducing the risk of the first doped layer 102 contacting the transfer medium and further reducing the risk of the first doped layer 102 being scratched by the transfer medium.
[0036] It can be understood that the substrate 101 has a front side facing the sun during normal operation and a back side opposite to the front side. That is, the front side of the substrate 101 is the light-receiving surface, and the surface opposite to the front side is the back side. By arranging both the first doped layer 102 and the second doped layer 103 on the back side of the substrate 101, a back contact structure can be obtained. In the subsequent structure of the solar cell 20, the grid lines can also be located on the back side of the substrate 101, thereby reducing the optical loss caused by grid line occlusion to the cell and being beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 20. Optionally, the substrate 101 includes a silicon substrate. Further, the substrate 101 can be a single-crystalline silicon substrate or a polycrystalline silicon substrate. Still further, the silicon substrate 101 can be an N-type silicon substrate or a P-type silicon substrate.
[0037] In some embodiments, the doping concentration of the doping element in the third doped layer 104 is greater than the doping concentration of the doping element in the first doped layer 102. When the doping concentration of the doping element in the third doped layer 104 is relatively high, the third doped layer 104 can have a good gettering effect, which is beneficial to further improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 20. In addition, when the doping concentration of the doping element in the third doped layer 104 is relatively high, the loss of current transmission in the solar cell 20 can be further reduced, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 20.
[0038] In some embodiments, the doping concentration of the doping element in the third doped layer 104 ≥ 1×10 20 / cm 3 . Optionally, the doping concentration of the doping element in the third doped layer 104 is 1.1×10 20 / cm 3 、1.2×1020 / cm 3 、1.3×10 20 / cm 3 、1.4×10 20 / cm 3 、1.5×10 20 / cm 3 、1.6×10 20 / cm 3 、1.7×10 20 / cm 3 、1.8×10 20 / cm 3 、1.9×10 20 / cm 3 、1×10 21 / cm 3 etc.
[0039] Optionally, the doping concentration of the doping element in the first doping layer 102 is 1×10 19 / cm 3 ~2×10 20 / cm 3 . For example, the doping concentration of the doping element in the first doping layer 102 can be 1×10 19 / cm 3 、2×10 19 / cm 3 、3×10 19 / cm 3 、4×10 19 / cm 3 、5×10 19 / cm 3 、6×10 19 / cm 3 、7×10 19 / cm 3 、8×10 19 / cm 3 、9×10 19 / cm 3 、1×10 20 / cm 3 、1.5×10 20 / cm 3 etc.
[0040] Optionally, the doping concentration of the doping element in the second doping layer 103 is 1×10 20 / cm 3 ~1×10 21 / cm 3 .

[0042] In some embodiments, in the thickness direction of the substrate 101, the height by which the surface of the third doping layer 104 away from the substrate 101 protrudes from the second doping layer 103 is 0.1 μm to 10 μm. The height by which the surface of the third doping layer 104 away from the substrate 101 protrudes from the second doping layer 103 within this range can provide good protection for the second doping layer 103. Please refer to Figure 1 , in which the height H by which the surface of the third doping layer 104 away from the substrate 101 protrudes from the second doping layer 103 is schematically shown, and H is 0.1 μm to 10 μm.

[0043] In some embodiments, the third doping layer 104 is disposed on the surface of the first doping layer 102 away from the substrate 101, and the third doping layer 104 is not provided on the surface of the second doping layer 103 away from the substrate 101.
[0044] In some embodiments, an isolation groove 1011 is provided on the substrate 101. The isolation groove 1011 is located between the first doped layer 102 and the second doped layer 103 so that the first doped layer 102 and the second doped layer 103 are arranged at intervals. By providing the isolation groove 1011, the first doped layer 102 and the second doped layer 103 can be better separated, reducing the risk of an increase in leakage current caused by the contact between the first doped layer 102 and the second doped layer 103. It can be understood that the isolation groove 1011 can be obtained on the substrate 101 by etching.
[0045] In some embodiments, the height from the surface of the first doped layer 102 away from the substrate 101 to the bottom of the isolation groove 1011 is 0.1 μm to 10 μm. Optionally, the height from the surface of the first doped layer 102 away from the substrate 101 to the bottom of the isolation groove 1011 can be 0.2 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, etc.

Optionally, the height from the surface of the second doped layer 103 away from the substrate 101 to the bottom of the isolation groove 1011 can be 0.2 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, etc.
[0047] Optionally, the height from the surface of the first doped layer 102 away from the substrate 101 to the bottom of the isolation groove 1011 is greater than the height from the surface of the second doped layer 103 away from the substrate 101 to the bottom of the isolation groove 1011.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the solar cell contact structure 10 further includes a first dielectric layer 105.

Optionally, the material of the first dielectric layer 105 includes at least one of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, silicon oxynitride, and silicon carbonitride. Optionally, the thickness of the first dielectric layer 105 is 0.5 nm to 3 nm. For example, the thickness of the first dielectric layer 105 can be 0.5 nm, 0.8 nm, 1 nm, 1.2 nm, 1.5 nm, 1.8 nm, 2 nm, 2.2 nm, 2.5 nm, 2.8 nm, 3 nm, etc.
[0049] In some embodiments, the solar cell contact structure 10 further includes a second dielectric layer 106, and the second dielectric layer 106 is located between the second doped layer 103 and the substrate 101.

Optionally, the material of the passivation layer 107 includes at least one of silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, silicon oxynitride, and silicon oxide.
[0051] It can be understood that when the solar cell contact structure 10 includes the passivation layer 107, the height of the surface of the first doped layer 102 away from the substrate 101 from the bottom of the isolation groove 1011 represents the height of the surface of the first doped layer 102 away from the substrate 101 from the surface of the passivation layer 107 at the bottom of the isolation groove 1011. The height of the surface of the second doped layer 103 away from the substrate 101 from the bottom of the isolation groove 1011 represents the height of the surface of the second doped layer 103 away from the substrate 101 from the surface of the passivation layer 107 at the bottom of the isolation groove 1011.
