Compared to PERC cells, TOPCon cells exhibit higher open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency, making them a hot research topic in the photovoltaic field.

[0003] The existing fabrication technology for N-type TOPCon cells has the following main problems:

[0004] 1. Insufficient uniformity and density of tunnel oxide layer: The thickness of tunnel oxide layer prepared by traditional chemical oxidation or thermal oxidation method is not uniform, resulting in poor local passivation effect, which affects the open circuit voltage (Voc) and fill factor (FF) of battery.

Low doping efficiency of polycrystalline silicon layer: Existing technologies typically use PECVD to deposit an amorphous silicon layer and then convert it into a polycrystalline silicon layer through high-temperature annealing. However, the doping efficiency is low, and multiple annealing processes are required, which increases the complexity and cost of the process.

These embodiments are provided to fully and completely disclose the invention and to fully convey its scope to those skilled in the art. The terminology used in the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings is not intended to limit the invention.

[0035] Unless otherwise stated, the terms used herein (including technical terms) have their common meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This invention provides a method for fabricating a high-efficiency N-type solar cell, using ALD technology to prepare a 1nm~2nm tunneling oxide layer, and a precursor. and The reaction chamber is alternately circulated in the form of pulses, and purging is performed before each alternation. The temperature is 200℃~300℃, and the number of cycles is 50~100.

[0038] In-situ phosphorus doping of polycrystalline silicon was performed using LPCVD, with the reaction chamber simultaneously circulated with... and The temperature is 600℃~700℃.

[0039] Because early TOPCon cells had relatively low requirements for the density of the tunnel oxide layer, traditional oxidation methods (dry / wet oxidation) could meet the requirements, and the equipment was mature and inexpensive. PECVD silicon oxidation was attempted, but it resulted in poor uniformity, easily leading to localized pinhole defects and affecting passivation. ALD, due to its precursor ( + The cost is lower than that of traditional thermal oxidation (direct Si + Due to higher costs and temperature matching issues, it was not used for the preparation of tunnel oxide layers.

[0040] However, as the industry's demand for ultra-thin (<1.5nm), pinhole-free dense tunneling layers increases, this invention uses ALD technology to achieve precise deposition of tunneling oxide layers with atomic-level precision, especially in N-type TOPCon cells that pursue >25% efficiency.

[0041] The method for fabricating this high-efficiency N-type solar cell provided by this invention uses ALD to prepare a tunneling oxide layer, replacing the traditional chemical oxidation or thermal oxidation method, thereby improving the uniformity and density of the tunneling oxide layer and enhancing the passivation effect. The method also optimizes the polycrystalline silicon layer deposition and doping process by using LPCVD in-situ doping technology, reducing annealing steps and defects, improving the doping efficiency of the polycrystalline silicon layer, simplifying the process steps, reducing costs, reducing interface defects, and improving the long-term stability of the cell.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Based on Example 1, this example provides a method for preparing a high-efficiency N-type solar cell, wherein the precursor... and The flow ratio is 1:5 to 1:10, where, The pulse waveform is a stepped pulse.

The flow rate is 10 sccm to 50 sccm, and the pulse duration is 0.1 s to 0.5 s; The flow rate is 50 sccm ~ 200 sccm, and the pulse time is 0.2s ~ 1s.

[0044] The chamber pressure of the ALD reaction chamber is 0.1 Torr to 1 Torr.

[0045] The purging gas is nitrogen or Ar, with a flow rate of 200 sccm ~ 500 sccm;

[0046] The purging time is 3s~10s. The purging time is 5s-15s.

[0047] ALD was used to prepare the tunneling oxide layer. The chamber pressure was 0.1 Torr to 1 Torr. The low-pressure environment improved the uniformity of the film layer, and the low temperature of 200℃ to 300℃ reduced the thermal budget and avoided damage to the substrate. The number of cycles was 50 to 100, resulting in a tunneling oxide layer thickness of 1 nm to 2 nm, with a single-cycle growth rate of 0.02 nm / cycle.

[0048] The flow rate is 10 sccm to 50 sccm, the pulse time is 0.1 s to 0.5 s to ensure surface saturation adsorption, and the purging time is 3 s to 10 s to avoid gas phase reaction.

[0049] The flow rate is 50 sccm ~ 200 sccm, the pulse time is 0.2s ~ 1s, and the purging time is 5s ~ 15s to ensure complete oxidation.

[0050] precursor and The flow ratio is 1:5 to 1:10 to achieve a pinhole-free ultrathin oxide layer.

[0051] The differences between this invention and existing methods for preparing tunneling oxide layers are shown in Table 1.

[0077] To further illustrate the effect of LPCVD in-situ phosphorus doping of polycrystalline silicon in this invention, the following experimental examples and comparative examples were conducted.

[0078] Comparative Example 4:
