Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of back contact batteries, and in particular to a combined passivation back contact battery and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Existing back-contact heterojunction cells consist of an N-type monocrystalline silicon wafer, a pyramidal velvet surface, an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, and an anti-reflection layer, sequentially located on the front of the wafer. On the P-region surface on the back of the wafer, an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, a P-type amorphous silicon layer, a transparent conductive film layer, and a metal gate layer are sequentially located. On the N-region surface on the back of the wafer, an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer, an N-type amorphous silicon layer, a transparent conductive film layer, and a metal gate layer are sequentially located.
[0003] Existing back-contact solar cells generally use non-stoichiometric SiNx or SiO2 / SiNx stacks as anti-reflection coatings on the front side, which can effectively reduce surface reflectivity and increase light absorption. However, SiNx struggles to achieve optimal anti-reflection effects across the entire spectrum. While SiO2 / SiNx stacks can improve reflectivity, they suffer from poor interlayer stress matching, leading to film cracking or peeling during deposition. Furthermore, their thermal stability and acid and alkali corrosion resistance are insufficient, compromising the mechanical stability and long-term reliability of the cell. Summary of the Invention
