Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cell manufacturing, and in particular to a Topcon cell and a back micro-texturing process and equipment thereof. Background Art

[0002] The Topcon cell is a tunneling oxide passivation contact solar cell technology based on the principle of selective carriers. Its cell structure is an N-type silicon substrate cell. An ultra-thin layer of silicon oxide is prepared on the back of the cell, and then a thin layer of doped silicon is deposited. The two together form a passivation contact structure, effectively reducing surface recombination and metal contact recombination.

[0003] In the prior art document, a new method for optimizing the back surface morphology of a TOPCON battery with publication number CN117080311A includes the following steps: S1, preparing battery materials. S2, performing a damage layer etching process to remove the mechanical damage layer. S3, performing double-sided texturing. S4, preparing the back microstructure. S5, obtaining an alkali-polished sample on the back. S6, performing rounding treatment. S7, forming a heavily doped polysilicon passivation contact structure. S8, removing the oxide layer. S9, depositing an aluminum oxide anti-reflection film and a silicon nitride anti-reflection film. S10, metal contact, and performing data testing. This application uses ozone and acid mixed solution technology as a rounding process to round off the pyramid valleys and the concave areas between the towers at the polishing interface of the battery silicon wafer, which not only improves the back micromorphology, effectively improves the passivation effect and the electrical performance of the solar cell, but also significantly reduces the contact resistance, obtains a higher fill factor at the battery electrical performance end, and thus improves the conversion efficiency.

[0004] In the existing technology, the difference in doping concentration between the edge and the middle of the silicon wafer due to single-sided boron diffusion leads to a large difference in the size of the tower base blocks at the edge of the substrate and the center after alkaline polishing. During the texturing process, the concentration of the alkaline solution will change, which is difficult to adjust, affecting the subsequent texturing quality. Moreover, a large amount of waste will be caused by complete replacement due to the large volume capacity of the reaction tank. In addition, waste gas is easily generated during the texturing reaction process. The chain-type texturing structure makes it difficult to collect waste gas and is not conducive to the escape of hydrogen in the process, resulting in easy film explosion of the battery cell.

This is conducive to the escape of hydrogen during the process and reduces the risk of film explosion.

[0060] In the micro-texturing process on the back of Topcon batteries, the main chemical reaction equations involved are:

[0061] Si+2NaOH+H2O→Na2SiO3+2H2↑.

[0062] This corrosion effect forms a micro-texture structure on the surface of the silicon wafer, which helps to improve the optical and electrical properties of the battery.

[0063] In another embodiment, a Topcon battery is provided, including a Topcon battery back side, wherein the Topcon battery back side is manufactured by a Topcon battery back side micro-texturing process.

[0064] In another embodiment, a Topcon battery back micro-texturing device is provided, such as Figures 1-4 、 Figure 10 As shown, it is used to realize the micro-texturing process on the back of the Topcon battery, including a base 1, a first support plate 3 is installed on the top side of the base 1, a mounting hole is opened in the middle of the first support plate 3, a rotating column 8 is rotatably installed in the mounting hole, and the bottom end of the rotating column 8 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the base 1.

[0065] Two support guard plates 4 are symmetrically installed on the top side of the first support plate 3. A slide groove 9 is provided on the top of the rotating column 8 in the vertical direction. A slider 7 is slidingly provided inside the slide groove 9. A connecting rod 6 is connected to the slider 7, and a storage structure 5 is fixed on the connecting rod 6.

[0066] A water tank 2 is installed on the outside of the base 1, and a protective cover 10 is installed on the water tank 2. A liquid inlet pipe 11 is connected to the protective cover 10, and a limiting ring 1103 is fixed on the inner wall of the bottom end of the liquid inlet pipe 11. A telescopic column 1105 is movably inserted into the bottom port of the liquid inlet pipe 11, and an L-shaped guide hole 1104 is opened on the upper half of the telescopic column 1105. A spring 1102 is fixed between the top of the telescopic column 1105 and the limiting ring 1103.

[0067] A drainage hole 1101 is provided on the bottom side wall of the guide hole 1104 . The drainage hole 1101 and the bottom port of the guide hole 1104 are arranged along the same vertical direction. A water pressure gauge 15 is installed at the top of the liquid inlet pipe 11 .

[0068] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, a lifting cylinder 13 is installed on the outside of the water tank 2, and the lifting cylinder 13 is controlled by a CNC PLC controller. A lifting plate 12 is installed on the active end of the lifting cylinder 13, and the lifting plate 12 is fixed on one side of the protective cover 10. An air pump 101 is installed on the protective cover 10, and the air pump 101 is controlled by a CNC PLC controller. The air inlet end of the air pump 101 is connected to the protective cover 10 through an air guide pipe, and the exhaust end of the air pump 101 is connected to an exhaust pipe 102, and a connector 103 is connected to the exhaust pipe 102. A one-way valve 104 is installed on the exhaust pipe 102, and an air tank 105 is rotatably assembled on the connector 103, and a locking valve 106 is installed at the port of the air tank 105.

[0069] When the battery cells are transported to the coverage area of ​​the water storage tank 2 , the storage structure 5 carrying the battery cells is transported so that the placement holes 52 are aligned with the communication holes on the inner wall of the water storage tank 2 .

[0070] At this time, the lifting cylinder 13 is operated to drive the lifting plate 12 downward, so that the protective cover 10 is vertically pressed on the storage structure 5 carrying the battery cells.

[0071] At this time, the bottom end of the telescopic column 1105 contacts the bottom of the carrying bucket 51. After the protective cover 10 subsequently descends, the liquid inlet pipe 11 descends relative to the telescopic column 1105, and the spring 1102 is compressed, so that the bottom port of the guide hole 1104 is aligned with the spring 1102, so that the reaction solution transported through the liquid inlet pipe 11 is discharged through the drainage hole 1101, thereby realizing the perfusion of the reaction solution into the carrying bucket 51.

[0072] During the synchronous descent of the lifting plate 12 and the protective cover 10, the positioning rod 20 is driven downward, the positioning rod 20 moves downward, the blocking plate 17 blocks the guide hole on the partition plate 16, and the buoyancy guard plate 19 descends to the outer port of the connecting hole.

[0073] As the solution in the carrying bucket 51 is poured, when the poured liquid exceeds the water level line of the connecting hole, the liquid enters the cavity on one side of the water storage tank 2 through the connecting hole. As the liquid level in the cavity rises, the buoyancy guard plate 19, which is affected by the buoyancy, gradually rises. After the buoyancy guard plate 19 rises, the connecting hole is sealed, and the carrying bucket 51 for texturing can be fully filled with liquid. Since the reaction space in the carrying bucket 51 is limited, quantitative liquid injection is performed according to the required amount, which can achieve texturing treatment of the battery cell.

[0074] By quantitatively injecting liquid, the waste of reaction solution can be reduced, and quantitative texturing can be ensured, avoiding excessive corrosion of the battery cell caused by excessive solution.

[0075] During the texturing process, a mixed gas mainly composed of hydrogen will be generated. In order to reduce the direct emission of waste gas, the reaction area is covered by the protective cover 10. During the reaction, the gas can be pressurized and transported to the connector 103 through the exhaust pipe 102 through the extraction of the air pump 101, and collected by the gas tank 105 connected to the connector 103. The waste gas generated by the reaction is concentrated and transported to the gas tank 105, and then the waste gas in the gas tank 105 is transferred and processed, which can avoid the direct emission of waste gas. At the same time, through the coverage of the protective cover 10, the reaction environment of the battery cell can be guaranteed to be relatively safe, and the interference of the external environment can be avoided, so as to achieve a better texturing effect.

A second magnetic block 58 is installed on one side of the second movable plate 53. A mounting plate 59 is fixed to the top side of the carrying bucket 51, and a first magnetic block 57 is fixed to one side of the mounting plate 59. The first magnetic block 57 and the second magnetic block 58 are opposite magnets.

[0078] When micro-texturing the back of the battery and loading the battery cells, the storage structure 5 is rotated to the loading position and the second movable plate 53 is pulled. Under the action of external tension, the first magnetic block 57 and the second magnetic block 58 attracted together are separated, and the second support plate 54 can be pulled along the slide rail 55 to draw a placement hole 52. The battery cells are placed on the second support plate 54 and supported by the support frame 56 on the top of the second support plate 54. This can reduce the interference of the support on the texturing of the battery cells and improve the texturing effect.

[0079] During loading, the second support plate 54 with the battery cells placed thereon is pushed into the carrying bucket 51. When the second magnetic block 58 and the first magnetic block 57 are fixed to each other by adsorption, the second support plate 54 can be fixed to ensure the stability of the battery cells.

The water storage tank 2 is divided into two parts by the partition plate 16, and the bottom height of the cavity connected to the connecting hole is higher than The bottom height of the cavity connected to the drainage hole 14, and the cavity connected to the drainage hole 14 is connected to a drainage pipe. After the texturing is completed, the lifting plate 12 can be pushed upward with the cooperation of the lifting cylinder 13. After the lifting plate 12 rises, it can drive the first movable plate 18 to rise under the drive of the positioning rod 20. After the first movable plate 18 rises, the connecting hole is opened, and most of the liquid in the carrying bucket 51 can be discharged to the cavity on one side of the water tank 2 through the connecting hole. At this time, the diversion hole on the partition plate 16 is also opened, and the reaction liquid entering the cavity on one side of the water tank 2 is discharged to the cavity on the other side of the water tank 2 through the diversion hole.

[0082] At this time, the driving motor 24 operates again, and with the cooperation of the gear 23 and the limiting plate 21 , drives the rotating column 8 to rotate.

[0083] When the rotating column 8 rotates, since the support guard plate 4 is symmetrically installed on the base 1, when the connecting rod 6 rotates, the slider 7 slides along the slide groove 9, and the connecting rod 6 is lifted by the action of the support guard plate 4, so that the bottom port of the placement hole 52 is connected in parallel with the drainage hole 14, which can ensure that the reaction solution in the carrying bucket 51 is completely emptied, avoid solution residue, and reduce the workload of subsequent operations.

[0084] In this embodiment, when performing micro-texturing, the texturing operation on the back of the battery cell is achieved through the contact between the battery cell and the solution.

[0085] When loading the battery cells, the storage structure 5 is rotated to the loading position, and the second movable plate 53 is pulled. Under the action of external tension, the first magnetic block 57 and the second magnetic block 58 attracted together are separated, and the second support plate 54 can be pulled along the slide rail 55 to draw a placement hole 52. The battery cells are placed on the second support plate 54, and the battery cells are supported by the support frame 56 on the top of the second support plate 54. This can reduce the interference of the support on the texturing of the battery cells and improve the texturing effect.

[0086] During loading, the second support plate 54 with the battery cells placed thereon is pushed into the carrying bucket 51. When the second magnetic block 58 and the first magnetic block 57 are attracted and fixed to each other, the second support plate 54 can be fixed to ensure the stability of the battery cells.

[0087] After the loading is completed, the gear 23 is driven to rotate by driving the driving motor 24, and the rotating column 8 can be driven to rotate 90 degrees in a single time with the cooperation of the gear ring 22 to transport the material.

[0088] When the battery cells are transported to the coverage area of ​​the water storage tank 2 , the storage structure 5 carrying the battery cells is transported so that the placement holes 52 are aligned with the communication holes on the inner wall of the water storage tank 2 .

[0089] At this time, the lifting cylinder 13 is operated to drive the lifting plate 12 downward, so that the protective cover 10 is vertically pressed on the storage structure 5 carrying the battery cells.

[0090] At this time, the bottom end of the telescopic column 1105 contacts the bottom of the carrying bucket 51. After the protective cover 10 subsequently descends, the liquid inlet pipe 11 descends relative to the telescopic column 1105, and the spring 1102 is compressed, so that the bottom port of the guide hole 1104 is aligned with the spring 1102, so that the reaction solution transported through the liquid inlet pipe 11 is discharged through the drainage hole 1101, thereby realizing the perfusion of the reaction solution into the carrying bucket 51.

[0091] During the synchronous descent of the lifting plate 12 and the protective cover 10, the positioning rod 20 is driven downward, the positioning rod 20 moves downward, the blocking plate 17 blocks the guide hole on the partition plate 16, and the buoyancy guard plate 19 descends to the outer port of the connecting hole.

[0092] As the solution in the carrying bucket 51 is poured, when the poured liquid exceeds the water level line of the connecting hole, the liquid enters the cavity on one side of the water storage tank 2 through the connecting hole. As the liquid level in the cavity rises, the buoyancy guard plate 19, which is affected by the buoyancy, gradually rises. After the buoyancy guard plate 19 rises, the connecting hole is sealed, and the carrying bucket 51 for texturing can be fully filled with liquid. Since the reaction space in the carrying bucket 51 is limited, quantitative liquid injection is performed according to the required amount, which can achieve texturing treatment of the battery cell.

[0093] By quantitatively injecting liquid, the waste of reaction solution can be reduced, and quantitative texturing can be ensured, avoiding excessive corrosion of the battery cell caused by excessive solution.

[0094] During the texturing process, a mixed gas mainly composed of hydrogen will be generated. In order to reduce the direct emission of waste gas, the reaction area is covered by the protective cover 10. During the reaction, the gas can be pressurized and transported to the connector 103 through the exhaust pipe 102 through the extraction of the air pump 101, and collected by the gas tank 105 connected to the connector 103. The waste gas generated by the reaction is concentrated and transported to the gas tank 105, and then the waste gas in the gas tank 105 is transferred and processed, which can avoid the direct emission of waste gas. At the same time, through the coverage of the protective cover 10, the reaction environment of the battery cell can be guaranteed to be relatively safe, and the interference of the external environment can be avoided, so as to achieve a better texturing effect.

[0095] After the texturing is completed, the lifting plate 12 can be pushed upward with the cooperation of the lifting cylinder 13. After the lifting plate 12 rises, it can drive the first movable plate 18 to rise under the drive of the positioning rod 20. After the first movable plate 18 rises, the connecting hole is opened, and most of the liquid in the carrying bucket 51 can be discharged into the cavity on one side of the water tank 2 through the connecting hole. At this time, the guide hole on the partition plate 16 is also opened, and the reaction liquid entering the cavity on one side of the water tank 2 is discharged into the cavity on the other side of the water tank 2 through the guide hole.

[0096] At this time, the driving motor 24 operates again, and with the cooperation of the gear 23 and the limiting plate 21 , drives the rotating column 8 to rotate.

[0097] When the rotating column 8 rotates, since the support guard plate 4 is symmetrically installed on the base 1, when the connecting rod 6 rotates, the slider 7 slides along the slide groove 9, and the connecting rod 6 is lifted by the action of the support guard plate 4, so that the bottom port of the placement hole 52 is connected in parallel with the drainage hole 14, which can ensure that the reaction solution in the carrying bucket 51 is completely emptied, avoid solution residue, and reduce the workload of subsequent operations.

[0098] Through the rotating texturing process, the volume of the reaction liquid can be reasonably limited to reduce the waste of the reaction liquid. At the same time, during the reaction process, the waste gas can be collected. During the liquid operation process, the external environmental interference can be reduced and the texturing quality can be improved.

[0099] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
