Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a solar cell having a composite conductive layer. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the photovoltaic industry, reducing production costs has become a key goal. Currently, using electroplated copper to replace expensive conductive silver paste in the production of metal grid lines has achieved significant results. The cost difference between one gram of silver and one gram of copper is over 100 times, making the trend towards silver-free production inevitable.
[0003] Among the various photovoltaic cell types produced, N-type TOPCon cells are the most mass-produced. The key to their manufacturing process is the formation of an anti-reflection layer—a tunneling oxide layer of SiO2 (1nm-3nm)—on the N-side, and an anti-reflection layer—an aluminum oxide layer of Al2O3 (5nm-10nm)—on the P-side. This provides excellent passivation for the TOPCon cell. Finally, an anti-reflection layer (such as SiNx) and conductive grid lines are printed on both sides of the cell to create an N-type TOPCon cell.
[0004] However, when introducing the copper electroplating process, the anti-reflection layer on both sides of the cell must be partially and continuously or discontinuously removed using a laser. After exposing the P / N poles, an ohmic contact layer is then applied via electroplating or chemical deposition to facilitate the subsequent electroplating process. However, this not only destroys the anti-reflection layer function of the original cell (increasing recombination and reducing the cell's Voc), but also, the ohmic contact layer prepared using a micron-scale process (electroplating / chemical plating) often cannot fully contact and react with the silicon surface due to the cell's surface topography (such as velvet). This ultimately leads to uneven deposition and the inability to form a continuous and evenly distributed ohmic contact layer. A good ohmic contact layer not only allows current to be evenly transmitted from the cell's doped layer to the metal electrode, but also avoids local current failure or even heat concentration caused by poor contact, which not only affects current collection efficiency but also affects the reliability of the cell and module.

Therefore, the decrease in the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of the solar cell caused by the previous removal of the local anti-reflection layer can be avoided, so that the open-circuit voltage of the original cell is not reduced. At the same time, the provision of the passivation tunneling layer can achieve work function matching, which can effectively suppress the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, overall extend the photo-hole migration efficiency and simultaneously reduce the contact resistance.
[0047] The setting of the ohmic contact layer, the thickness of the ohmic contact layer is at the nanometer level, so that the electroplating process of the thick electrode structure can achieve the maximum overall conversion efficiency improvement of the battery cell. Through the vacuum deposition process or the electroplating process combined with the annealing process, a uniform and well-contacted ohmic contact layer can be obtained, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the contact resistance of the battery cell, and combined with the subsequent electroplating process of the electrode structure, the conversion efficiency of the battery cell is improved and the production cost of the battery cell is reduced.

[0064] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0065] Figure 1A structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention is shown. This embodiment relates to a method for preparing a battery cell with a composite conductive layer, in which a passivation tunneling layer is prepared on the P-side of the battery cell body after slotting to reduce the defect state density on the battery cell surface and the carrier recombination rate on the surface. Then, an ohmic contact layer is prepared on the passivation tunneling layer at the P-side slotting of the battery cell body and on the N-side slotting, respectively, and a metal electrode structure is prepared on the ohmic contact layer to reduce contact resistance, improve the conversion efficiency of the battery cell, and reduce the production cost of the battery cell.
[0066] Example 1
[0067] A method for preparing a battery cell with a composite conductive layer comprises the following steps:
[0068] The P side and N side of the cell body are patterned and grooved to form electrode opening areas, exposing the P electrode 2 and the N electrode 6, so as to facilitate the subsequent setting of the passivation tunneling layer 7 and the ohmic contact layer 8. Figure 1 As shown, according to the design requirements of the battery cell structure, graphic grooves are performed at the designed positions of the P and N sides of the battery cell to provide a basis for the subsequent preparation of the passivation tunneling layer 7, the ohmic contact layer 8 and the metal electrode. When the battery cell body is graphic grooved, the P side of the battery cell body is graphic grooved, the passivation tunneling layer 7 and the ohmic contact layer 8 are prepared on the P side of the battery cell body, the N side of the battery cell body is graphic grooved, and the ohmic contact layer 8 is prepared on the N side of the battery cell body. The setting position of the graphic groove is selected and set according to the type of the battery cell body and the actual structural design requirements of the battery cell, and no specific requirements are made here.
[0069] The above-mentioned cell body is a cell on which the anti-reflection layer 4 is prepared. For example, the cell body can be a TOPCon cell prepared with an anti-reflection layer 4. The cell body includes a liner 1, and a P electrode 2, an aluminum oxide layer 3 and an anti-reflection layer 4 are arranged in sequence on the P surface of the liner 1, and a silicon dioxide layer 5, an N electrode 6 and an anti-reflection layer 4 are arranged in sequence on the N surface of the liner 1.
[0070] When patterning the cell body, laser grooves are performed on the cell body where metal electrodes are required. On the P side of the cell body, the aluminum oxide layer 3 and anti-reflection layer 4 are removed at the corresponding locations, exposing the P electrode 2 beneath the aluminum oxide layer 3 and anti-reflection layer 4. On the N side of the cell body, the anti-reflection layer 4 is removed at the corresponding locations, exposing the N electrode 6 beneath the anti-reflection layer 4, forming an electrode opening area. The subsequently prepared ohmic contact layer 8 is disposed in this electrode opening area so that the metal electrode forms effective contact with the semiconductor through the ohmic contact layer 8, facilitating the input and output of current. Here, the grooved area is the electrode opening area, and the area outside the grooved area is the non-electrode opening area.
[0071] After the laser grooving of the cell body is completed, thermal repair and acid treatment are sequentially performed to remove impurities on the cell body surface to facilitate the subsequent preparation of the passivation tunneling layer 7. When thermally repairing the cell after the grooving is completed, the cell is placed in a tunnel furnace and placed in an atmospheric atmosphere for heating and repair. The thermal repair temperature is 550-900°C and the thermal repair time is 5-120 seconds. By controlling the thermal repair temperature and time, an oxide layer is formed at the groove, so that the damage caused to the cell during the laser grooving can be removed through cleaning.
[0072] In some feasible embodiments, the temperature of the thermal repair can be 550℃, 600℃, 650℃, 700℃, 750℃, 800℃, 850℃, 900℃, or any temperature value between 550-900℃. It can be selected and set according to actual needs, and no specific requirements are made here.
[0073] In some feasible embodiments, the time of the hot repair is 20s, 40s, 60s, 80s, 100s, 120s, or any other time value between 5-120s. The time value is selected and set according to actual needs, and no specific requirements are made here.
[0074] After the slotted battery cells are thermally repaired, they are acid-treated. At room temperature, the thermally repaired battery cells are cleaned with acid to remove the oxide layer and impurities on the surface of the battery cells. The acid is a hydrofluoric acid solution with a concentration of 0.5%-3%. The acid treatment time is 30-300s. By controlling the cleaning time of the acid solution, the oxide layer is removed and the impurities on the surface of the battery cells are removed at the same time.
[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, a passivation tunneling layer 7 is prepared on the P surface of the cell to play a tunneling role, reduce the defect state density on the surface of the cell, and reduce the recombination rate of carriers on the surface. The thickness of the passivation tunneling layer 7 is 1-5nm, which is a passivation tunneling layer 7 of nano-physical scale. It can avoid the result of the open circuit voltage of the solar cell being reduced due to the previous removal of the local anti-reflection layer 4, and achieve the open circuit voltage of the solar cell not being reduced; in the P-pole structure design of the N-type TOPCon cell, the P-pole of the P surface is used for the transfer and collection of holes, that is, the work function of the boron-doped silicon (p poly) is controlled in the range of 4.8ev-5.0ev, and the two materials with the lower work function aluminum oxide layer 3 (controlling its work function range of 4.0ev-4.5ev) are stacked. At this time, the holes will be transported from the high work function (p poly) migrates to the material with low work function (aluminum oxide layer 3), and the passivation tunneling layer 7 can effectively inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, overall prolong the efficiency of photohole migration, and reduce contact resistance.
[0076] In some feasible embodiments, the thickness of the above-mentioned passivation tunneling layer 7 can be 1nm, 2nm, 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, or any other thickness value between 1-5nm.

[0141] The following detailed description takes the TOPCon battery cell as an example.
[0142] A method for preparing a battery cell with a composite conductive layer comprises the following steps:
[0143] A cell body is provided, which is a cell body with anti-reflection layers 4 prepared on both sides. The cell body includes a silicon substrate 1, a silicon dioxide layer 5, an N electrode 6 and an anti-reflection layer 4 arranged on the N side of the silicon substrate 1, and a P electrode 2, an aluminum oxide layer 3 and an anti-reflection layer 4 arranged on the P side of the silicon substrate 1.
[0144] The P side and N side of the battery cell body are respectively grooved graphically by laser grooving to form electrode opening areas: the position of the electrode is determined according to the electrode design requirements of the battery cell, and the corresponding positions on the two side surfaces of the battery cell body prepared with the anti-reflection layer 4 are grooved by laser. On the N side of the battery cell body, the anti-reflection layer 4 at the corresponding position is removed, and on the P side of the battery cell body, the anti-reflection layer 4 and the aluminum oxide layer 3 at the corresponding position are removed to form the electrode opening area, thereby completing the electrode pattern preparation of the P side and N side of the battery cell body.
[0145] In this embodiment, the silicon liner 1 is an N-type silicon liner 1 , and the antireflection layer 4 is silicon nitride.
[0146] Thermally repair the slotted cell body to form an oxide layer in the electrode opening area: Place the slotted cell body in a tunnel furnace and heat it at 700°C for 80 seconds to form an oxide layer in the electrode opening area. This oxide layer is silicon oxide.
[0147] The heat-treated cell body is acid-treated to remove the oxide layer and impurities. The heat-treated cell body is cleaned with 1.5% hydrofluoric acid to remove silicon oxide and impurities in the electrode opening area. The acid treatment time is 100 seconds.
[0148] The cleaned cell body is placed in a vacuum deposition device, and a passivation tunneling layer 7 is prepared on the P surface of the cell body by chemical vapor deposition or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. When the chemical vapor deposition method is used, the reaction source is trimethylaluminum, the flow rate of the reaction source is 10-50 sccm, the oxygen source is oxygen, the flow rate of the oxygen source is 50-500 sccm, the reaction temperature is 200-400°C, and the reaction time is 30-600s. The reaction generates an aluminum oxide layer, which is the passivation tunneling layer 7. The thickness of the aluminum oxide layer is 1-5nm.

[0151] After the deposition time is reached, the metal deposition is completed, and the deposited cell body is annealed in a vacuum deposition device. The annealing time is 60s and the annealing temperature is 350°C. After the annealing is completed, an aluminum ohmic contact layer is prepared on the P side of the cell body. The thickness of the aluminum ohmic contact layer is 1-100nm. A nickel ohmic contact layer is prepared on the N side of the cell body. The thickness of the nickel ohmic contact layer is 1-100nm.
[0152] The annealed cell body is etched to remove the metal deposited layer from the non-electrode opening areas (excluding the electrode opening areas) on the P-side and N-side surfaces of the cell body: the annealed cell body is placed in an etchant for 5 minutes at a temperature of 60°C. The etchant is a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and formic acid, wherein the mass percentage of hydrochloric acid in the etchant is 3% and the mass percentage of formic acid in the etchant is 5%. After the etching process is completed, the etched cell body is cleaned with pure water to remove the etchant from the cell body so that the cell can be subsequently electroplated.
[0153] When the battery cell body is etched, the aluminum metal layer at the non-electrode area on the P side of the battery cell body and the nickel metal layer at the non-electrode area on the N side are removed to expose the anti-reflection layer 4 at the non-electrode area on the P side of the battery cell body and the anti-reflection layer 4 at the non-electrode area on the N side of the battery cell body. An aluminum-silicon alloy reaction layer is formed in the electrode opening area on the P side of the battery cell, that is, the ohmic contact layer 8 structure of the P side. A nickel-silicon reaction layer is formed in the electrode opening area on the N side of the battery cell, that is, the ohmic contact layer 8 structure of the N side. After etching, a battery cell to be electroplated with an electrode opening area is obtained, and then the battery cell is electroplated to prepare a metal electrode.
[0154] The bonding layer 9 is prepared on the etched cell by electroplating process, and the bonding layer 9 is formed at the electrode opening area of the P side and N side of the cell respectively. The bonding layer 9 is a metal layer, and the material of the bonding layer 9 is preferably nickel. The thickness of the bonding layer 9 is 3um.
[0155] The electrode layer 10 is prepared on the battery cell with the bonding layer 9 completed by electroplating process, and the electrode layer 10 is formed on the bonding layer 9 at the electrode opening area of the P side and N side of the battery cell respectively. The material of the electrode layer 10 is copper and the thickness of the electrode layer 10 is 8um.
[0156] The protective layer 11 is prepared on the battery cell with the electrode layer 10 completed by the electroplating process. The protective layer 11 is formed on the electrode layer 10 at the electrode opening area on the P side and the N side of the battery cell respectively. The protective layer 11 is located on the upper surface of the electrode layer 10 and wraps the side edges of the bonding layer 9 and the electrode layer 10 to protect the side edges of the bonding layer 9 and the electrode layer 10. The protective layer 11 is a metal layer, the material of the protective layer 11 is tin, and the thickness of the protective layer 11 is 1um.
[0157] The cell on which the protective layer 11 is prepared is cleaned to remove the plating solution and particulate impurities on the cell, and the cleaned cell is blown dry to obtain a cell with a composite conductive layer.
[0158] When chemical vapor deposition is used to form a passivation tunneling layer 7 on the P-side of the cell body within a vacuum deposition apparatus, the vacuum deposition apparatus is controlled at different power levels while maintaining the same reaction source flow rate, oxygen source flow rate, reaction temperature, and reaction time (for example, a flow rate of 30 sccm for the reaction source trimethylaluminum, a flow rate of 200 sccm for the oxygen source oxygen, a reaction temperature of 300°C, and a reaction time of 60 seconds) to produce passivation tunneling layers 7 of varying thicknesses.

[0165] Next, a passivation tunneling layer 7 is prepared using TiCl4 as a reaction source or a mixture of TiCl4 and O2 in a ratio of 1:30 as a reaction gas. The preparation process is the same as the above-mentioned process steps. When the passivation tunneling layer 7 is prepared on the P-side of the solar cell body in a vacuum deposition apparatus using chemical vapor deposition or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, the vacuum deposition apparatus power is controlled to different powers, and the same reaction gas flow rate, reaction temperature, and reaction time are selected (for example: the flow rate of the reaction source TiCl4 is 30 sccm, the flow rate of the oxygen source oxygen is 550 sccm, the reaction temperature is 450°C, and the reaction time is 60 seconds). Passivation tunneling layers 7 of varying thicknesses are prepared. Simultaneously, during the preparation process of the ohmic contact layer 8, the power of the vacuum deposition apparatus is controlled to different powers to prepare ohmic contact layers 8 of varying thicknesses, as shown in the following Examples 7 to 12.
[0166] In the seventh embodiment, the passivation tunneling layer 7 is titanium oxide, the thickness of the passivation tunneling layer 7 is 1.57 nm, the thickness of the P-side ohmic contact layer is 12.5 nm, and the thickness of the N-side ohmic contact layer is 12.7 nm.
[0167] In the eighth embodiment, the passivation tunneling layer 7 is titanium oxide, the thickness of the passivation tunneling layer 7 is 1.56 nm, the thickness of the P-side ohmic contact layer is 12.7 nm, and the thickness of the N-side ohmic contact layer is 12.6 nm.

[0170] In the eleventh embodiment, the passivation tunneling layer 7 is titanium oxide, the thickness of the passivation tunneling layer 7 is 4.12 nm, the thickness of the P-side ohmic contact layer is 12.6 nm, and the thickness of the N-side ohmic contact layer is 12.6 nm.

[0172] The battery cells prepared in the above twelve embodiments were measured for Eta (conversion efficiency), Voc (open circuit voltage), FF (fill factor) and Rs (resistance), where Eta is the conversion efficiency, Voc is the open circuit voltage, FF is the fill factor, and Rs is the resistance. Control group 1 consisted of battery cells without a passivation tunneling layer (P-side) and with an ohmic contact layer (the ohmic contact layers on the P-side and N-side were both made of nickel); control group 2 consisted of battery cells without a passivation tunneling layer (P-side) and with an ohmic contact layer (the ohmic contact layer on the P-side was made of aluminum, and the ohmic contact layer on the N-side was made of nickel); test groups 1 to 6 were battery cells prepared using the methods of Examples 1 to 6 above, and the material of the passivation tunneling layer was aluminum oxide; test groups 7 to 12 were battery cells prepared using the methods of Examples 7 to 12 above, and the material of the passivation tunneling layer was titanium oxide. The test results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0173] Table 1 Comparison of Eta, Voc, FF, and Rs parameters between the experimental and control groups
[0174]
[0175] As can be seen from the table above, the measured data show that the Eta, Voc, and FF of the cell are all improved, while Rs is reduced. In particular, the open-circuit voltage of the cell with a passivation tunneling layer is significantly increased, indicating that the provision of a passivation tunneling layer can repair the anti-reflection layer of the original cell that was previously damaged by laser grooving; and the ohmic contact layer also repairs the doping layer of the original cell that was damaged by laser grooving, thereby increasing the open-circuit voltage of the cell and reducing the contact resistance. Therefore, the conversion efficiency and fill factor of the obtained cell are both improved.

[0179] The P side and N side of the cell body are patterned and grooved to form electrode opening areas, exposing the P electrode 2 and the N electrode 6, so as to facilitate the subsequent setting of the passivation tunneling layer 7 and the ohmic contact layer 8. Figure 1 As shown, according to the design requirements of the battery cell structure, graphic grooves are performed at the designed positions of the P and N sides of the battery cell to provide a basis for the subsequent preparation of the passivation tunneling layer 7, the ohmic contact layer 8 and the metal electrode. When the battery cell body is graphic grooved, the P side of the battery cell body is graphic grooved, the passivation tunneling layer 7 and the ohmic contact layer 8 are prepared on the P side of the battery cell body, the N side of the battery cell body is graphic grooved, and the ohmic contact layer 8 is prepared on the N side of the battery cell body. The setting position of the graphic groove is selected and set according to the type of the battery cell body and the actual structural design requirements of the battery cell, and no specific requirements are made here.

On the N side of the cell body, the anti-reflection layer 4 is removed at the corresponding locations, exposing the N electrode 6 beneath the anti-reflection layer 4, forming an electrode opening area. The subsequently prepared ohmic contact layer 8 is disposed in this electrode opening area so that the metal electrode forms effective contact with the semiconductor through the ohmic contact layer 8, facilitating the input and output of current. Here, the grooved area is the electrode opening area, and the area outside the grooved area is the non-electrode opening area.

[0198] After etching is completed, a bonding layer 9, an electrode layer 10 and a protective layer 11 are sequentially prepared in the electrode opening area. Figure 9-11 As shown, in the electrode opening area, a bonding layer 9 is prepared on the ohmic contact layer 8, an electrode layer 10 is prepared on the bonding layer 9, and a protective layer 11 is prepared on the electrode layer 10. At the same time, the protective layer 11 wraps the sides of the bonding layer 9 and the electrode layer 10 to protect the sides of the bonding layer 9 and the electrode layer 10.
[0199] The above-mentioned bonding layer 9, electrode layer 10 and protective layer 11 are all metal layer structures, and the bonding layer 9, electrode layer 10 and protective layer 11 are all prepared by wet electroplating deposition process, wherein the material of the bonding layer 9 includes nickel, tungsten, silver or titanium, and the thickness of the bonding layer 9 is 0.1-3um.

[0200] After the protective layer 11 is prepared, a cell with a composite conductive layer is obtained.
[0201] A battery cell with a composite conductive layer is prepared using the method for preparing a battery cell with a composite conductive layer of this embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, it includes a battery cell body, and the P side and N side of the battery cell body are respectively provided with at least one electrode opening area, and the electrode opening area of the P side of the battery cell body is sequentially provided with a passivation tunneling layer 7, an ohmic contact layer 8, a bonding layer 9, an electrode layer 10 and a protective layer 11, and the electrode opening area of the N side of the battery cell body is sequentially provided with an ohmic contact layer 8, a bonding layer 9, an electrode layer 10 and a protective layer 11.
[0202] Specifically, the above-mentioned battery cell body includes a liner 1. On the P side of the liner 1, a P electrode 2 layer is arranged in the electrode opening area, and the area outside the electrode opening area is sequentially provided with a P electrode 2 layer, an aluminum oxide layer 3 and an anti-reflection layer 4; on the N side of the liner 1, a silicon dioxide layer 5 and an N electrode 6 layer are sequentially provided in the electrode opening area, and the area outside the electrode opening area is sequentially provided with a silicon dioxide layer 5, an N electrode 6 layer and an anti-reflection layer 4.
[0203] On the P surface of the cell body, in the electrode opening area, along the P surface of the cell body to the outside direction, a passivation tunneling layer 7, an ohmic contact layer 8, a bonding layer 9, an electrode layer 10 and a protective layer 11 are sequentially arranged on the P electrode 2 layer.
[0204] On the N side of the cell body, in the electrode opening area, along the N side of the cell body to the outside, an ohmic contact layer 8, a bonding layer 9, an electrode layer 10 and a protective layer 11 are sequentially provided on the N electrode 6 layer.
[0205] The thickness of the passivation tunneling layer 7 is 1-5 nm, and the material of the passivation tunneling layer 7 is silicon oxide.
[0206] The thickness of the ohmic contact layer 8 is 1-100 nm.
[0207] The above-mentioned method for preparing a battery cell with a composite conductive layer is used to prepare a battery cell with a composite conductive layer. In the step of preparing a passivation tunneling layer 7 on the P side of the battery cell body by heat treatment, the temperature and time of the heat treatment are controlled to obtain a passivation tunneling layer 7 of different thicknesses. At the same time, in the step of preparing an ohmic contact layer 8 in the electrode opening areas of the P and N sides of the battery cell body, nickel metal is deposited on the N side of the battery cell body by electroplating, and the power of the electroplating equipment is controlled to different powers. Then, aluminum metal is deposited on the P side of the battery cell body by magnetron sputtering, and the power of the magnetron sputtering equipment is controlled to different powers. Then, annealing is performed to prepare an ohmic contact layer. A nickel-silicon ohmic contact layer is formed by reaction in the electrode opening area of the N side of the battery cell body, and an aluminum-silicon ohmic contact layer is formed by reaction in the electrode opening area of the P side of the battery cell body, thereby obtaining ohmic contact layers 8 of different thicknesses.
[0208] The parameters of the prepared battery cells are shown in Table 2 below. The prepared battery cells were measured for Eta (conversion efficiency), Voc (open circuit voltage), FF (fill factor) and Rs (resistance), where Eta is the conversion efficiency, Voc is the open circuit voltage, FF is the fill factor, and Rs is the resistance. The control group 1 is a battery cell without a passivation tunneling layer (P-side) and with an ohmic contact layer (the ohmic contact layers on the P-side and N-side are both made of nickel). The control group 2 is a battery cell without a passivation tunneling layer (P-side) and with an ohmic contact layer (the P-side ohmic contact layer is made of aluminum and the N-side ohmic contact layer is made of nickel). The thickness of the passivation tunneling layer, the thickness of the P-pole ohmic contact layer and the thickness of the N-pole ohmic contact layer of the battery cells in test groups 1 to 6 are different.
[0209] Table 2 Comparison of Eta, Voc, FF, and Rs parameters of cells in the experimental group and the control group
[0210]
[0211] As can be seen from the table above, the measured data show that the Eta, Voc, and FF of the cell are all improved, while Rs is reduced. In particular, the open-circuit voltage of the cell with a passivation tunneling layer is significantly increased, indicating that the provision of a passivation tunneling layer can repair the anti-reflection layer of the original cell that was previously damaged by laser grooving; and the ohmic contact layer also repairs the doping layer of the original cell that was damaged by laser grooving, thereby increasing the open-circuit voltage of the cell and reducing the contact resistance. Therefore, the conversion efficiency and fill factor of the obtained cell are both improved.
[0212] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, when preparing the cell with a composite conductive layer, a passivation tunneling layer of a certain thickness is prepared on the P surface of the cell body after the laser groove is completed. After the passivation tunneling layer is prepared, an ohmic contact layer is prepared on the P surface and N surface of the cell body. The ohmic contact layer and the passivation tunneling layer constitute a composite conductive layer. The passivation tunneling layer can be continuously and evenly distributed on the P surface of the cell, or the passivation tunneling layer can be arranged at the groove of the P surface of the cell, and the thickness of the passivation tunneling layer is nanometer-level, which reduces the defect state density on the surface of the cell, thereby reducing the recombination rate of carriers on the surface, thereby avoiding the open circuit voltage (V oc) decreases, so that the open-circuit voltage of the original battery cell does not decrease; at the same time, the setting of the passivation tunneling layer can match the work function, which can effectively suppress the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, overall extend the light-hole migration efficiency and simultaneously reduce the contact resistance; the setting of the ohmic contact layer, the thickness of the ohmic contact layer is nanometer-level, so that the electroplating process of the thick electrode structure can achieve the maximum overall conversion efficiency improvement of the battery cell. Through the vacuum deposition process electroplating process and combined with the annealing process, a uniform and well-contacted ohmic contact layer can be obtained, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the contact resistance of the battery cell, and combined with the subsequent electroplating process of the electrode structure, the conversion efficiency of the battery cell is improved and the production cost of the battery cell is reduced.
