Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of back-contact batteries, and in particular relates to a back-contact battery with a locally highly conductive polycrystalline structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the process with lower equipment cost in the preparation of back contact batteries is the post-texturing process, and its process flow is generally as follows:

[0003] S101, providing a double-sided polished silicon wafer;

[0004] S102, sequentially coating a first semiconductor layer and a first mask layer on the back side of the silicon wafer, wherein the first mask layer is generally silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride;

[0005] S103, laser or etching an opening on the back side of the silicon wafer to remove the first mask layer and a portion of the first semiconductor layer to form a second semiconductor opening region;

[0006] S104, texturing and cleaning the silicon wafer to remove the first semiconductor layer in the second semiconductor opening area;

[0007] S105, forming a passivation layer and an anti-reflection layer on the front side;

[0008] S106, removing the backside coating, and cleaning to further purify the second semiconductor opening area;

[0009] S107, forming a second semiconductor layer on the back side of the silicon wafer;

[0010] S108, laser or etching an opening on the back side of the silicon wafer to form a first semiconductor opening region alternately arranged with the second semiconductor opening region;

[0011] S109, depositing a conductive film layer on the back side of the silicon wafer;

[0012] S110, forming an insulating trench between the first semiconductor opening region and the second semiconductor opening region by laser or etching;

[0013] S111 , forming metal electrodes outside corresponding areas of the first semiconductor opening region and the second semiconductor opening region of the silicon wafer.

[0014] However, in existing back-contact cell post-texturing processes, S102, the back side of the silicon wafer, typically uses tubular PECVD to form the first semiconductor layer, which includes a first tunneling oxide layer and an N-type doped polycrystalline layer. In existing processes, if the doping concentration of the N-type doped polycrystalline layer is too high, it can easily lead to numerous defects in the polycrystalline layer, causing severe carrier recombination and affecting current density. If the doping concentration of the polycrystalline layer is too low, it can easily lead to insufficient conductivity, affecting carrier transport and resulting in a low FF.

At the same time, the film layer in the non-electrode contact area can be thinned and can be suitable for low doping and low crystallinity, which is beneficial to reducing the parasitic absorption of the film layer, taking into account high FF and high current density, thereby helping to improve the overall conversion efficiency of the battery.

[0052] Structure 5. The back contact cell also includes a passivation layer and an anti-reflection layer sequentially arranged on the front side of the silicon wafer, and the front side of the silicon wafer is a textured surface.

[0053] Beneficial effects:

[0054] The present invention uses the above technical solutions, especially S2-S4 and S6, to form a highly conductive polycrystalline region in the electrode contact area corresponding to the metal electrode of the first semiconductor layer. Because the portion of the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer under the anti-plasma mask layer area on the back is blocked by the anti-plasma mask layer, the phosphine plasma treatment will not cause its doping concentration to increase. Therefore, a first semiconductor layer structure is formed in which the highly conductive polycrystalline region and the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer in the non-electrode contact area are alternately arranged, and the phosphorus doping concentration of the highly conductive polycrystalline region is controlled to be 1 / 4 of the phosphorus doping concentration of the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer. The crystallinity of the highly conductive polycrystalline region is 1.1-1.3 times that of the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer. The doping concentration and crystallinity of the highly conductive polycrystalline region are significantly improved, which is beneficial to carrier transport. At the same time, the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer corresponding to the non-electrode contact region has a suitable low doping and low crystallinity ratio relative to the highly conductive polycrystalline region, which is beneficial to reducing the parasitic absorption of the film layer, taking into account high FF and high current density. The combination of the advantages of the highly conductive polycrystalline region and the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer in the non-electrode contact region is beneficial to improving the overall conversion efficiency of the battery.

[0055] Among them, after S3 annealing of the present invention, the N-type doped amorphous silicon layer forms an N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer. During the annealing process, part of the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer covered by the anti-plasma mask layer will have some oxygen ions penetrate into the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer to form a phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layer. The phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layer is easily corroded and removed in the acid solution, so it will be removed in the subsequent texturing and cleaning process. After annealing, a back film layer structure in which phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layers and N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layers are alternately arranged is formed, and a back film layer structure in which phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layers and high conductive polycrystalline regions are alternately arranged is formed through subsequent phosphine plasma treatment. The phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layer is removed in the subsequent texturing and cleaning process to expose the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer underneath, and then finally a first semiconductor layer structure in which highly conductive polycrystalline regions and thinner N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layers in non-electrode contact regions are alternately arranged is formed. The thinned polycrystalline layer thickness is beneficial to reducing the parasitic absorption of the film layer and improving the current density of the battery.

[0056] In the back contact battery of the present invention, a first semiconductor layer structure in which a high conductive polycrystalline region and an N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer in a non-electrode contact region are alternately arranged and matched with a first tunneling oxide layer is adopted, and the phosphorus doping concentration of the high conductive polycrystalline region is controlled to be 1.4-10 times the phosphorus doping concentration of the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer, and the crystallinity of the high conductive polycrystalline region is 1.1-1.3 times the crystallinity of the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer, which is beneficial to carrier transport. At the same time, the film layer in the non-electrode contact region can be thinned and can be suitable for low doping and low crystallinity, which is beneficial to reducing the parasitic absorption of the film layer, taking into account high FF and high current density, thereby helping to improve the overall conversion efficiency of the battery.

[0065] In the present invention, the area close to the silicon wafer is considered as the inside, and the area far from the silicon wafer is considered as the outside.

[0066] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a back-contact battery with a locally highly conductive polycrystalline structure, comprising the following steps:

[0067] S1, provide double-sided polished silicon wafers;

[0068] S2, forming a first tunneling oxide layer and an N-type doped amorphous silicon layer on the back side of the silicon wafer in sequence, and then depositing a plasma resistant mask layer;

[0069] S3, opening a portion of the plasma resistant mask layer corresponding to the metal electrode to form an opening area W0;

[0070] Then, annealing is performed to form an N-type doped polysilicon layer from the N-type doped amorphous silicon layer, and a portion of the N-type doped polysilicon layer covered by the plasma resistant mask layer forms a phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layer;

[0071] S4. Performing a phosphine plasma treatment on the opening region W0 so that a partially thick N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer within the opening region W0 forms a highly conductive polycrystalline region, wherein the phosphorus doping concentration of the highly conductive polycrystalline region is 1.4-10 times, preferably 2-10 times, and further preferably 4-10 times, of the phosphorus doping concentration of the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer, and the crystallinity of the highly conductive polycrystalline region is 1.1-1.3 times, preferably 1.18-1.30 times, of the crystallinity of the N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer;

[0072] An alkali-resistant mask layer is then deposited on the back side;

[0073] S5, performing a second etching opening on the back side to expose the silicon wafer, forming second semiconductor opening regions arranged at intervals; the second semiconductor opening regions and the opening region W0 are arranged alternately;

[0074] S6, texturing and cleaning, forming a texture surface on the front side of the silicon wafer and the second semiconductor opening area, and removing the alkali-resistant mask layer, the plasma-resistant mask layer, and the phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layer;

[0075] S9. Depositing a second semiconductor layer on the back side.

[0076] In the present invention, a plasma-resistant mask layer refers to a film layer that resists plasma treatment and protects underlying film layers from the effects of plasma treatment. In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, in S2, the plasma-resistant mask layer is at least one of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, and oxygen-containing polysilicon. While the oxygen-containing plasma-resistant mask layer resists plasma treatment, the portion of the N-type doped polysilicon layer covered by the plasma-resistant mask layer forms a phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polysilicon layer, facilitating thinning of the first semiconductor layer.

[0077] In the present invention, the thickness of the plasma-resistant mask layer is preferably 10-40 nm, more preferably 10-39 nm. The plasma-resistant phosphorus doping resistance of the plasma-resistant mask layer of the present invention is different from the alkali-resistant effect of conventional mask layers. Therefore, the plasma-resistant mask layer does not need to be too thick. Using a suitably thin plasma-resistant mask layer is more conducive to achieving the plasma-resistant effect while facilitating subsequent removal in a solution.

[0078] The deposition method of the plasma resistant mask layer can be carried out by referring to the prior art. For example, it can be deposited by tubular PECVD. For example, the deposition conditions preferably include: at 400-600°C, silane and other target element gas sources (such as nitrous oxide and other gases) are introduced, the silane flow rate is 1500-5000sccm, the flow rate of other target element gas sources is 7500-50000sccm, the gas pressure is 1500-4000mtorr, and the power is 5000-15000kW.

[0079] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, in S2, the thickness of the first tunnel oxide layer is 1-2 nm, the thickness of the N-type doped amorphous silicon layer is 80-150 nm, and the phosphorus doping concentration is 5×10 18 cm -3 -9.9×10 19 cm -3 It is understood that after the N-type doped amorphous silicon layer is annealed to form the N-type doped polysilicon layer, the thickness and phosphorus doping concentration remain unchanged. The first tunneling oxide layer and the N-type doped polysilicon layer form the first semiconductor layer.

[0080] The deposition method of the N-type doped amorphous silicon layer of the present invention can be carried out with reference to the prior art. For example, it can be deposited by tubular PECVD, and its deposition conditions preferably include: a deposition temperature of 400-600°C, and the introduction of gases including silane, hydrogen and phosphine. The flow rate of silane is 1500-5000sccm, the flow rate of hydrogen is 3000-20000sccm, the flow rate of the hydrogen mixture carrying phosphine is 100-1000sccm, the volume flow rate of phosphine in the hydrogen mixture carrying phosphine accounts for 2%-8%, the gas pressure is 1500-4000mtorr, and the power is 5000-15000kW.

[0081] The opening in S3 of the present invention can be a laser opening or a chemical solution etching opening, and laser opening is preferred because laser opening is simpler and cleaner.

[0082] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, in S3, the thickness of the N-type doped polysilicon layer formed is 80-150 nm, and the phosphorus doping concentration is 5×10 18 cm -3 -9.9×10 19 cm -3 The N-type doped polysilicon layer of the present invention can be thinner and have a lower phosphorus doping concentration. When combined with structures such as a highly conductive polycrystalline region, it can still achieve excellent passivation to improve battery conversion efficiency.

[0083] In the present invention, the crystallinity of the N-type doped polysilicon layer is preferably 70%-85%. The crystallinity of the N-type doped polysilicon layer of the present invention is suitable, and the crystallinity of the highly conductive polycrystalline region is 1.1-1.3 times that of the N-type doped polysilicon layer, which is more conducive to improving the conductivity of the film layer.

[0084] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, in S3, the width of the opening region W0 is 100-200 µm. Using an opening region W0 of an appropriate width can provide a highly conductive polycrystalline region of an appropriate width, which is more conducive to carrier transport and improves the conductivity of the film layer and the electrode.

[0085] In S3 of the present invention, the laser used for the laser opening may be an ultraviolet or green picosecond laser, and preferably, the pulse width thereof is less than 10 ps.

[0086] In the present invention, preferably, in S3, the thickness of the phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layer is 0.5-10 nm, preferably 0.5-9 nm. The present invention can control the thickness of the phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layer by adjusting the plasma treatment time. Using an appropriately thin phosphorus-doped and oxygen-doped polycrystalline layer further effectively prevents excessive penetration of phosphorus atoms into non-highly conductive polycrystalline regions.

[0087] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, in S3, the annealing conditions include: introducing one selected from nitrogen, argon or a nitrogen-argon mixture, a temperature of 800-1000° C., an annealing pressure of 100-900 mbar, and an annealing time of 30-90 min.

The use of the highly conductive polycrystalline region of this preferred solution is more conducive to improving the conductive performance and increasing FF.

[0089] In the present invention, the thickness of the highly conductive polycrystalline region is preferably 0.5-10 nm, more preferably 2-10 nm. The thickness of the highly conductive polycrystalline region can be controlled by adjusting the time and / or power of the plasma treatment.

[0090] In the present invention, the width of the highly conductive polycrystalline region is preferably 100-200 μm, more preferably 120-200 μm. The width of the highly conductive polycrystalline region can be controlled by adjusting the opening area W0.

[0091] The present invention adopts a high-conductivity polycrystalline region with a suitable thin thickness and / or a suitable width, which is more conducive to taking into account both passivation and conductive properties.

[0092] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, in S4, the alkali-resistant mask layer is selected from at least one of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxide, and carbon-doped silicon nitride.

[0093] The deposition method of the alkali-resistant mask layer in S4 of the present invention can be carried out according to the target type with reference to the method of the prior art.

The phosphine plasma treatment of the present invention involves the introduction of phosphine (phosphine is introduced in the form of a hydrogen-carrying phosphine mixed gas), hydrogen (i.e., hydrogen introduced alone), and a protective gas. During the plasma treatment process, hydrogen can dominate chemical etching and lattice reconstruction, while a protective gas, such as argon, can enhance physical activation and energy transfer. The two gases work together to achieve efficient conversion of the amorphous phase, significantly improving the crystallization rate of the polycrystalline material. The use of an appropriate ratio of phosphine, hydrogen, and protective gas facilitates both increasing the doping concentration in the laser-opened electrode contact region and improving its crystallinity and electrical conductivity. After phosphine plasma treatment under these conditions, the phosphorus doping concentration of the highly conductive polycrystalline region with high conductivity and high crystallization rate is increased by 2-10 times, and the crystallinity is increased by 10%-30% compared to the electrode non-contact region.

Further preferably, the flow rate of phosphine in the hydrogen-phosphine mixed gas accounts for 2%-8%.

For example, when the mask layer needs to be removed, the final cleaning conditions include: the cleaning solution used for the final cleaning is an acid solution such as HF, the mass percentage of HF in the HF acid solution is 0.5%-5%, the mass percentage of deionized water contained is 95%-99.5%, the processing temperature is 20°C-30°C, and the removal time is 60-500s.
