AI Technical Summary
During the production of TOPCon solar cells, as the phosphorus doping concentration in the heavily doped silicon thin film increases, phosphorus atoms diffuse into the silicon substrate, weakening the passivation effect at the interface between the oxide layer and the silicon wafer, thus affecting the cell efficiency.
A stacked structure of tunneling oxide layer/first amorphous silicon layer/first PSG layer/second amorphous silicon layer/second PSG layer is formed on the back side of the silicon wafer. The distribution of phosphorus atoms in the doped polycrystalline silicon layer is controlled by phosphorus diffusion, so that the phosphorus doping concentration is low in the metal electrode contact area near the silicon substrate. This, together with the tunneling oxide layer, improves the passivation performance between the metal electrode and the silicon substrate.
Reducing the entry of phosphorus atoms into the silicon matrix increases the temperature window for phosphorus diffusion, thereby improving the open-circuit voltage and fill factor of the battery and enhancing its conversion efficiency.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar cells, and more specifically, to a TOPCon solar cell and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] TOPCon solar cells are high-efficiency cells based on carrier selective collection passivated contact structures, characterized by the fabrication of a tunneling silicon oxide (SiO2) layer on the back of the cell. x The passivation contact structure, composed of a polysilicon oxide layer and a heavily doped silicon thin film (poly-Si), provides excellent surface and field passivation for the back side of the silicon wafer. The ultrathin silicon oxide layer allows electrons to tunnel into the polysilicon layer while blocking hole transport, reducing recombination current. The lateral transport characteristics of the doped polysilicon layer reduce series resistance. These two characteristics together improve the open-circuit voltage, fill factor, and conversion efficiency of the battery, making it the most likely next-generation high-efficiency battery technology to achieve mass production.
[0003] In the production of TOPCon solar cells, an ultrathin tunneling oxide layer and a heavily doped silicon thin film are deposited on the back of a silicon wafer using the LPCVD method, followed by phosphorus doping in a tube diffusion furnace. Currently, to further improve the electrical performance of TOPCon solar cells, production lines increase the phosphorus doping concentration in the heavily doped silicon thin film to enhance the passivation effect between the poly-Si layer and the silicon wafer and improve the contact between the poly-Si layer and the metal electrode. However, as the phosphorus doping concentration in the poly-Si layer increases, phosphorus atoms diffuse into the silicon substrate, weakening the passivation effect at the interface between the oxide layer and the silicon wafer, ultimately affecting the cell efficiency.

As can be seen from the comparison in Table 1 above, compared with Comparative Example 1, the TOPCon solar cells prepared in Examples 1-3 of this application have higher Voc and FF than Comparative Example 2 because they sequentially deposit a stacked structure of tunneling oxide layer / first amorphous silicon layer / first PSG layer / second amorphous silicon layer / second PSG layer on the back of a silicon wafer, and then uniformly distribute phosphorus atoms in the polycrystalline silicon layer at a high concentration through high-temperature diffusion. Simultaneously, the presence of the first PSG layer avoids the problem of phosphorus atom diffusion. Compared with Comparative Example 2, the PSG layer in Examples 1-3 of this application provides a certain amount of phosphorus atoms. After high-temperature diffusion, there is a certain phosphorus doping concentration at the tunneling layer interface, which leads to band bending at the interface, changes the electric field distribution at the interface, and exerts a certain field passivation effect at the interface. Therefore, the Voc in the examples is higher than that in Comparative Example 2.
