[0079] The photovoltaic module can convert solar energy into electrical energy, has the advantages of no pollution, no regional restriction, inexhaustible, etc., and is the main direction of developing new energy. The photovoltaic module is mainly composed of photovoltaic cells, photovoltaic glass, adhesive film, back plate and frame. As one of the photovoltaic cells, the back contact cell can reduce the shading of the grid lines to the light, increase the light receiving area and improve the use performance by setting the positive and negative electrodes on the back light surface of the cell. However, since the positive and negative electrodes are located on the same surface, the back contact cell also has the problem of electric leakage, which affects the use safety of the back contact cell.

[0080] To solve the above technical problems, as shown inFigure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment of the present application provides a back contact cell 1, which comprises a silicon substrate 11, and the back surface of the silicon substrate 11 comprises a first region 111 and a second region 112, and an overlapping region 113 between the first region 111 and the second region 112. The first region 111 comprises a first sub-region 111a and a second sub-region 111b. The first sub-region 111a can be provided with a first doped layer 12, and the second sub-region 111b and the overlapping region 113 can be provided with a second doped layer 13. In the thickness direction of the back contact cell 1, the thickness of the first doped layer 12 can be greater than the thickness of the second doped layer 13, and the doping concentration of the first doped layer 12 can be greater than the doping concentration of the second doped layer 13.

[0081] In the embodiment, the first sub-region 111a is the region in contact with the metal electrode 24, and the area of the first sub-region 111a can be greater than or equal to the area of the metal electrode 24. The second sub-region 111b is the region in the first region 111 except the first sub-region 111a. The overlapping region 113 is the overlapping region of the first region 111 and the second region 112 with different polarities. By providing the first doped layer 12 with a greater thickness and a higher doping concentration in the first sub-region 111a, the field passivation effect can be strengthened, the carrier separation and collection can be accelerated, and the surface recombination loss can be reduced, so as to improve the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor of the back contact cell 1, optimize the series resistance, and thus improve the working performance of the back contact cell 1. Moreover, by providing the second doped layer 13 with a thinner thickness and a lower doping concentration in the second sub-region 111b, the parasitic absorption of the second sub-region 111b can be reduced, the bifaciality of the back contact cell 1 can be improved, and thus the power generation of the whole back contact cell 1 can be improved, so as to improve the use efficiency. Meanwhile, by providing the second doped layer 13 with a thinner thickness and a lower doping concentration in the overlapping region 113, the lateral diffusion range in the second doped layer 13 can be controlled, and the second doped layer 13 can be prevented from extending to excessive contact with other structure layers, so as to effectively reduce the risk of electric leakage of the back contact cell 1 and improve the use safety of the back contact cell 1.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the first region 111 can be an N-type doped region, and the second region 112 can be a P-type doped region.

[0083] The embodiment of the present application further provides a preparation method of the back contact cell 1, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, which comprises the following steps but is not limited to the following steps: Figures 1 to 5 Figure 6a As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the preparation method of the back contact cell 1 comprises the following steps but is not limited to the following steps:

[0084] ​S11: preparing a silicon substrate 11, wherein the back surface of the silicon substrate 11 has a first region 111, a second region 112, and an overlapping region 113 between the first region 111 and the second region 112, the first region 111 has a first sub-region 111a and a second sub-region 111b;

[0085] S12: generating a first doped layer 12 in the first sub-region 111a, and generating a second doped layer 13 in the second sub-region 111b and the overlapping region 113;

[0086] wherein the thickness of the first doped layer 12 is greater than the thickness of the second doped layer 13, and the doping concentration of the first doped layer 12 is greater than the doping concentration of the second doped layer 13.

[0087] In the embodiment, by setting the first doped layer 12 in the first sub-region 111a, the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor of the back contact battery piece 1 can be improved, and the series resistance can be optimized to improve the working performance of the back contact battery piece 1. At the same time, by setting the second doped layer 13 in the second sub-region 111b and the overlapping region 113, the parasitic absorption of the second sub-region 111b can be reduced, the double-side rate of the back contact battery piece 1 can be improved, and the risk of electric leakage of the overlapping region 113 can be reduced, and the use safety of the back contact battery piece 1 can be improved.

[0088] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 along the thickness direction of the back contact battery piece 1, the first doped layer 12 can include a first oxide layer 14, a first doped layer 15, a second oxide layer 16, and a second doped layer 17 which are sequentially stacked. The second doped layer 13 can include a first oxide layer 14 and a first doped layer 15 which are stacked.

[0089] In the embodiment, the first doped layer 12 includes two oxide layers and two doped layers. Compared with the second doped layer 13 which only includes one oxide layer and one doped layer, the first doped layer 12 can have a greater thickness and a higher doping concentration to improve the working performance of the back contact battery piece 1, and at the same time, the thickness and the doping concentration of the second doped layer 13 are relatively small to reduce the parasitic absorption and the risk of electric leakage of the back contact battery piece 1.

[0090] In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 6a the thickness D1 of the first doped layer 12 can satisfy 50nm < D1 ≤ 250nm, and the thickness D2 of the second doped layer 13 can satisfy D2 ≤ 50nm.

[0091] In the embodiment, the thickness D1 of the first doped layer 12 can be 60 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, etc., so as to reduce the series resistance of the first doped layer 12, improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the back contact cell, and avoid the increase of carrier transmission loss caused by the too thick thickness of the first doped layer 12. At the same time, the thickness D2 of the second doped layer 13 can be 5 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, etc., so as to reduce the parasitic absorption of the second doped layer 13, improve the bifaciality of the back contact cell, and avoid the too low carrier collection efficiency caused by the too thin thickness of the second doped layer 13.

[0092] In other embodiments, the thickness D1 of the first doped layer 12 and the thickness D2 of the second doped layer 13 can also be other values, and the specific values of the thickness of the first doped layer 12 and the thickness of the second doped layer 13 in the embodiment of the present application are not limited, and can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0093] In the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 6a the doping concentration W1 of the first doped layer 15 can satisfy 1E19 cm -3 ≤ W1 ≤ 1E20 cm -3 , and / or the doping concentration W2 of the second doped layer 17 can satisfy 1E20 cm -3 ≤ W2 ≤ 5E20 cm -3 .

[0094] In the embodiment, the doping concentration of the first doped layer 15 can be 1E19 cm -3 , 3E19 cm -3 , 5E19 cm -3 , 7E19 cm -3 , 1E20 cm -3 , etc., and the doping concentration of the second doped layer 17 can be 2E20 cm -3 , 3E20 cm -3 , 4E20 cm -3 , 5E20 cm -3 , etc., the first doped layer 15 and the second doped layer 17 are included in the first doped layer 12, and only the first doped layer 15 is included in the second doped layer 13, so that the doping concentration of the second doped layer 17 is greater than the doping concentration of the first doped layer 15, so that the overall doping concentration of the first doped layer 12 is greater than the overall doping concentration of the second doped layer 13, so as to improve the fill factor and open circuit voltage of the first sub-area 111a, and reduce the parasitic absorption of the second sub-area 111b and the risk of leakage of the overlapping area, and significantly improve the working performance of the back contact cell.

[0095] In other embodiments, the doping concentration W1 of the first doped layer 15 and the doping concentration W2 of the second doped layer 17 can also be other values. In this application embodiment, the doping concentration of the first doped layer 15 and the second doped layer 17 is not specifically limited, and can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0096] In the above embodiments, the doping concentration of the first doped stack 12 can be the average doping concentration within the overall thickness range of the second doped layer 17, and the doping concentration of the second doped stack 13 can be the average doping concentration within the overall thickness range of the first doped layer 15.

[0097] In another specific embodiment, the doping concentration of the first doped stack 12 can also be the average doping concentration within the overall thickness range of the first oxide layer 14, the first doped layer 15, the second oxide layer 16, and the second doped layer 17, and the doping concentration of the second doped stack 13 can also be the average doping concentration within the overall thickness range of the first oxide layer 14 and the first doped layer 15.

[0098] In the two embodiments described above, electrochemical capacitance-voltage profiling (ECV) can be used to measure the average doping concentration of different structural layers.

[0099] like Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 6a As shown, step S12 above may include, but is not limited to, the following specific steps:

[0100] S121: A first oxide layer 14, a first doped layer 15, a second oxide layer 16, and a second doped layer 17 are sequentially formed on the back side of the silicon substrate 11.

[0101] S122a: Remove the second doped layer 17 and the second oxide layer 16 of the overlapping region 113 and the second sub-region 111b, and retain the first oxide layer 14, the first doped layer 15, the second oxide layer 16 and the second doped layer 17 of the first sub-region 111a.

[0102] In the embodiment, the back surface of the back contact cell 1 is sequentially stacked with the first oxide layer 14, the first doped layer 15, the second oxide layer 16 and the second doped layer 17 in the direction away from the silicon substrate 11. The doping concentration of the second doped layer 17 is greater than the doping concentration of the first doped layer 15. Therefore, after the second doped layer 17 and the second oxide layer 16 are removed, only the first doped layer 15 with a lower doping concentration and the first oxide layer 14 are included in the second doped stack 13 formed, so that the doping concentration of the first doped stack 12 is greater than the doping concentration of the second doped stack 13, so as to make the overlapping area 113 and the second sub-area 111b generate the second doped stack 13 with a thinner thickness and a lower doping concentration, and make the first sub-area 111a generate the first doped stack 12 with a thicker thickness and a higher doping concentration.

[0103] In the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6a , the step S122a can further specifically include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0104] S122a1: depositing a mask layer 25 on the back surface of the second doped layer 17;

[0105] S122a2: removing the mask layer 25 of the second region 112, the overlapping area 113 and the second sub-area 111b;

[0106] S122a3: removing the first oxide layer 14, the first doped layer 15, the second oxide layer 16 and the second doped layer 17 of the second region 112 by wet chemical cleaning, and removing the second doped layer 17 and the second oxide layer 16 of the second sub-area 111b and the overlapping area 113;

[0107] wherein the wet chemical cleaning time T1 can satisfy 60s≤T1≤300s.

[0108] In the embodiment, by depositing the mask layer 25 on the back surface of the second doped layer 17 and removing the mask layer 25 of the second region 112, the overlapping area 113 and the second sub-area 111b, the mask layer 25 of the first sub-area 111a is retained. In the subsequent process of wet chemical cleaning, the first doped stack 12 of the first sub-area 111a is not affected by cleaning. At the same time, by controlling the time of wet chemical cleaning, the second doped layer 17 and the second oxide layer 16 of the second sub-area 111b and the overlapping area 113 are removed, so as to achieve the effect of removing part of the structure layer.

[0109] wherein the wet chemical cleaning time T1 can be 60s, 100s, 200s, 250s, 300s, etc. In other embodiments, the wet chemical cleaning time T1 can also be other specific values, and the specific value of the wet chemical cleaning time T1 is not limited in the embodiment of the application, and can be adjusted adaptively according to the actual situation.

The second doped stack can include a silicon substrate doped layer (not shown in the figure).

[0111] In the embodiment, in the process of generating the first doped layer 15 and the second doped layer 17 on the back of the silicon substrate 11, part of the doped elements will enter the inside of the silicon substrate 11, so that part of the structure of the silicon substrate 11 forms a silicon substrate doped layer. In the embodiment, the second doped stack only includes the silicon substrate doped layer, which can further reduce the parasitic absorption of the second sub-area 111b, effectively improve the bifaciality of the back contact cell 1, and significantly reduce the risk of electric leakage of the overlapping area 113.

[0114] In other embodiments, the doping concentration W2 of the second doped layer 17 and the doping concentration W3 of the silicon substrate doped layer can also be other values. In the embodiments of the present application, the specific values of the doping concentrations of the second doped layer 17 and the silicon substrate doped layer are not limited, and can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0120] In the embodiments, the first oxide layer 14, the first doped layer 15, the second oxide layer 16 and the second doped layer 17 of the first sub-region 111a are retained to form the first doped layer 12 with a relatively thick thickness and a relatively high doping concentration, and the first oxide layer 14, the first doped layer 15, the second oxide layer 16 and the second doped layer 17 of the overlapping region 113 and the second sub-region 111b are removed so that the second doped layer only includes the silicon substrate doped layer with a relatively low doping concentration.

In the subsequent wet chemical cleaning process, the first doped layer 12 of the first sub-region 111a is not affected by the cleaning, and at the same time, by controlling the time of the wet chemical cleaning, the first oxide layer 14, the first doped layer 15, the second oxide layer 16 and the second doped layer 17 of the second sub-region 111b and the overlap region 113 are removed.
