When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

When it is described that a specific device is located between the first device and the second device, there can be or can not be an intermediate device between the specific device and the first device or the second device.

[0026] All terms used in the present application have the same meaning as understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted to have meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or extremely formalized sense, unless explicitly defined here.

[0027] Techniques, methods and devices known to those skilled in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the techniques, methods and devices should be considered as part of the specification.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 4 The battery sheet grid line processing method disclosed by the embodiments of the present application comprises the steps of: Electroplating the battery sheet; The electroplating includes first electroplating copper grid lines and second electroplating copper grid lines; The first electroplating copper grid lines of the battery sheet is carried out by using the first copper plating solution, and the second electroplating copper grid lines of the battery sheet is carried out by using the second copper plating solution, the copper ion content of the first copper plating solution is less than that of the second copper plating solution, and the hydrogen ion content of the first copper plating solution is greater than that of the second copper plating solution.

[0029] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application is used to firstly perform electroplating of the copper grid line by using the first plating solution with low pH value, the binding force of the electroplated copper grid line is better, and the problem of grid line falling off can be effectively avoided; and then the electroplating of the copper grid line is performed by using the second plating solution with high pH value, the electroplating efficiency of the second plating solution is high, and thus the production efficiency is improved. The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application effectively solves the problem of low binding force of the grid line and easy falling off of the grid line in the solar cell with electroplated copper grid line in the prior art.

[0030] It should be noted that the electroplated copper grid line falling off mainly occurs at the contact position of the grid line and the copper seed layer, and therefore the first plating solution with high acidity is used to improve the binding force of the contact position in the present application, so as to avoid the grid line falling off. However, the copper ion content in the first plating solution is small, and therefore the plating process is slow. In order to ensure the production efficiency, the second plating solution with higher copper ion content is used to perform the second electroplating of the copper grid line after the first electroplating of the copper grid line is completed. In the prior art, in order to ensure the production efficiency, only one plating solution with more copper ion content is usually used to perform single plating of copper, and the proportion of the broken grid line obtained by this method is about 6.5%, and the welding tension is less than 1.2N.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , in the technical scheme of the present embodiment, the copper ion content in the first plating solution is 20g / L to 30g / L, and the sulfuric acid content in the first plating solution is 150g / L to 170g / L. The sulfuric acid content in the first plating solution is 5 times to 8.5 times of the copper ion content. The first plating solution with this concentration ratio can effectively improve the atomic arrangement density of the grid line crystallization, so that the binding force of the grid line is greater and is not easy to fall off, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , in the technical scheme of the present embodiment, the copper ion content in the second plating solution is 50g / L to 70g / L, and the sulfuric acid content in the second plating solution is 70g / L to 90g / L. The sulfuric acid content in the second plating solution is 1 times to 1.8 times of the copper ion content. Compared with the first plating solution, the copper ion content in the second plating solution is increased and the hydrogen ion content is decreased. In the second plating solution, the electroplating efficiency of the second electroplating of the copper grid line is high, and the growth speed of the grid line is fast, thereby improving the production efficiency. As shown in Figure 3 , the copper grid line grown in the second plating solution, compared with Figure 2 and Figure 3 , it can be seen that the atomic arrangement of the copper grid line grown in the first plating solution is more compact, and therefore the binding force is greater.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 4As shown in the technical solution of this embodiment, the second copper plating solution includes multiple sets, and any set of the second copper plating solution can be used for the second copper grid line plating. Since the first copper grid line plating only needs to be performed at the contact position between the grid line and the copper seed layer, the time required for the first copper grid line plating is relatively short. By using multiple sets of second copper plating solutions, after the first copper grid line plating is completed, the battery cell is placed in one set of second copper plating solutions for the second copper grid line plating. At the same time, new battery cells can be placed in the first copper plating solution for the first copper grid line plating. After the first copper grid line plating is completed, the second copper grid line plating of the previous battery cell is not yet completed, so the new battery cell can be placed in other sets of second copper plating solutions. By setting multiple sets of second copper plating solutions, multiple battery cells can be simultaneously subjected to the second copper grid line plating, avoiding the problem that the battery cells cannot be subjected to the second copper grid line plating in time after the first copper grid line plating is completed due to the different completion times of the first and second copper grid line plating, thus further improving production efficiency. In this embodiment, three sets of second copper plating solutions are used.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the electroplating process further includes tin gate plating. Tin gate plating is performed after the second copper gate plating is completed, using a tin methanesulfonate plating solution. By electroplating the tin gate, tin gates are formed at one end of the silicon wafer that forms the copper gate, protecting the copper gates and preventing them from oxidizing easily when exposed, thus improving their lifespan.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the combined gate height of the first and second copper gate plating is 8μm to 10μm, wherein the gate height obtained in the first copper gate plating is 2 to 2.5μm, and the gate height obtained in the second copper gate plating is 6 to 7.5μm, with a ratio of approximately 1:3. The gate height obtained by the tin gate plating is 2μm to 4μm. The first and second copper gate platings constitute the total copper gate plating 70. When the copper gate plating 70 and the tin gate plating 80 are high, the gate lines themselves will block some of the light illuminating the silicon wafer surface, resulting in a reduction in the light-receiving area of ​​the battery itself; when the copper gate plating 70 and the tin gate plating 80 are low, the resistance increases, and the power loss increases.

[0036] like Figure 1 As described above, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the battery cell grid line processing method further includes a preliminary step: Edge wrapping of the battery cell with copper-plated seed layer; Photosensitive emulsion is coated onto the surface of the battery cells; Laser printing is used to denature a portion of the photosensitive adhesive, and the denatured area of ​​the photosensitive adhesive matches the grid line distribution area of ​​the battery cell to be processed. removing the photoresist in the denatured region.

[0037] The method further comprises the following steps before the edge wrapping: performing a texturing cleaning process on the N-type monocrystalline silicon wafer 10; depositing intrinsic amorphous silicon 20 and N-type amorphous silicon film 30 on the front surface of the N-type monocrystalline silicon wafer 10, and depositing intrinsic amorphous silicon 20 and P-type amorphous silicon film 40 on the back surface of the silicon wafer; depositing a transparent conductive film 50 (TCO conductive layer) on the amorphous silicon; depositing a copper seed layer 60 on the transparent conductive film.

[0038] Then, the edge wrapping glue is wrapped on the four edges and corners of the cell wafer, the width of the edge wrapping glue is less than or equal to 50 μm, and the thickness of the edge wrapping glue is 10 μm to 15 μm. The photoresist needs to cover the entire copper seed layer 60 during coating; the laser printing area is designed according to the design pattern of the grid line, so that the photoresist at the grid line distribution position is denatured under the action of laser, and then the denatured photoresist is removed by using an alkaline solution to expose the corresponding position of the copper seed layer 60, thereby performing electroplating.

[0039] As Figure 1 described, in the technical solution of the embodiment, the thickness of the photoresist is 10 μm to 15 μm. The thickness of the photoresist is greater than or equal to the height of the electroplated copper grid line 70, which plays a certain limiting role during copper plating to avoid problems such as the tilting of the electroplated copper grid line. When the thickness difference between the photoresist and the electroplated copper grid line 70 is large, it is difficult for the first copper plating solution and the second copper plating solution to contact the copper seed layer 60 during electroplating, and the electroplating efficiency is low.

[0040] As Figure 1 described, in the technical solution of the embodiment, the cell wafer grid line processing method further comprises the following subsequent steps: removing all the photoresist by using an alkaline solution; removing the copper seed layer by using an acidic solution; performing a light injection process on the cell wafer.

[0041] The alkaline solution can be selected from one or more of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; after the photoresist is removed, the copper seed layer and the oxide film layer that do not have a grid line below are exposed, and the part is removed by using dilute sulfuric acid, so that the transparent conductive film 50, the N-type amorphous silicon film 30, and the P-type amorphous silicon film below are exposed, and the conversion of light energy is realized.

[0042] As Figure 1 described, in the technical solution of the embodiment, the light injection process temperature is 200°C to 220°C, and the duration is 60 s to 120 s. Through the light injection process, the electron concentration and the hole concentration are improved, thereby further improving the conversion efficiency of the cell.

[0043] In the technical solution of Example One, the edges of the battery piece are wrapped with the edge wrapping glue, the width of the edge wrapping glue is 45 μm, and the thickness of the edge wrapping glue is 12 μm; the surface of the battery piece is coated with the photosensitive glue, and the thickness of the photosensitive glue is 13 μm. In the technical solution of Example One, the content of copper ions in the first copper plating solution is 25 g / L, and the content of sulfuric acid is 150 g / L; the content of copper ions in the second copper plating solution is 56 g / L, and the content of sulfuric acid is 75 g / L; before electroplating, the battery piece is first treated with an alkaline solution to remove oil, then repeatedly washed with water to remove residual alkaline substances on the surface of the battery piece, then activated with sulfuric acid, then plated with copper by using the first copper plating solution and the second copper plating solution in two steps, and the copper grid line is controlled to be 8 μm, then the first copper plating solution and the second copper plating solution on the surface of the battery piece are removed by multiple water washing, then tin electroplating solution is used for electroplating tin, wherein the tin grid line height is controlled to be 2 μm, then the battery piece is cleaned and dried. The remaining photosensitive glue and copper seed layer 60 on the surface of the battery piece are removed, the battery piece is subjected to light injection, wherein the temperature of the light injection is 210°C, and the time is 100 s. The grid line bonding force of the battery piece is tested. The broken grid ratio of the battery piece using the technical solution of Example One is 1.5%, and the welding tension is 2.2 N.

[0044] The technical solution of Example Two is different from the technical solution of Example One in that the content of copper ions in the first copper plating solution is 26 g / L, and the content of sulfuric acid is 160 g / L, and the remaining steps are the same as those of Example One. The broken grid ratio of the battery piece using the technical solution of Example Two is 1.4%, and the welding tension is 2.3 N.

[0045] The technical solution of Example Three is different from the technical solution of Example Two in that the content of copper ions in the second copper plating solution is 58 g / L, and the content of sulfuric acid is 80 g / L, and the remaining steps are the same as those of Example Two. The broken grid ratio of the battery piece using the technical solution of Example Three is 1.4%, and the welding tension is 2.45 N.

[0046] The technical solution of Example Four is different from the technical solution of Example Three in that the content of sulfuric acid in the second copper plating solution is 85 g / L, and the height of the copper grid line is controlled to be 10 μm, and the remaining steps are the same as those of Example Three. The broken grid ratio of the battery piece using the technical solution of Example Three is 1.3%, and the welding tension is 2.45 N.

[0047] From the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment, it can be seen that the first plating copper solution with high hydrogen ion content (i.e. strong acidity) is used to carry out the first-time electroplating of the copper grid line, and then the second plating copper solution with high copper ion content is used to carry out the second-time electroplating of the copper grid line, so that the grid breakage rate of the battery piece can be greatly reduced, and the welding tension can be improved. On this basis, the concentration of the first plating copper solution, the concentration of the second plating copper solution and the size of the grid line can be adjusted to further reduce the grid breakage rate and ensure the product quality of the battery piece.

[0048] It can be seen from the above that the production process of the copper interconnection heterojunction battery includes the following steps. First, the N-type monocrystalline silicon wafer is subjected to texturing cleaning treatment. Then, intrinsic amorphous silicon and N-type amorphous silicon film are deposited on the front surface of the silicon wafer, and intrinsic amorphous silicon and P-type amorphous silicon film are deposited on the back surface of the silicon wafer. Then, a transparent conductive film (TCO conductive layer) is plated on the amorphous silicon. Second, a copper seed layer is plated on the transparent conductive film (the semi-finished product after the seed layer deposition is referred to as a yellow film piece). The grid line pattern is made by using exposure and development technology. Finally, the copper seed layer is subjected to electrolytic cell effect electroplating in the copper electroplating solution and the tin electroplating solution to form the copper grid line and the tin protective layer. The production process of the electroplated copper grid line includes the following steps. First, the four corner edges and the corner positions of the yellow film piece are wrapped with edge wrapping glue, the width of the edge wrapping glue is less than or equal to 50 μm, and the thickness of the edge wrapping glue is 10 to 15 μm. Second, the front and back surfaces of the yellow film piece are coated with photosensitive glue, and the part of the yellow film piece exposed to the copper oxide is completely covered, and the thickness of the photosensitive glue is controlled to be 10 to 15 μm. Third, the given pattern is printed on the photosensitive glue film according to the designed grid line pattern, and the photosensitive glue film is subjected to denaturation after being exposed to light, so that the unexposed area can be distinguished. Fourth, the exposed photosensitive glue area is removed by using an alkaline solution to expose the underlying copper oxide film layer. Fifth, the copper grid line is electroplated in the copper electroplating solution, the height of the copper grid line is controlled to be 8 to 10 μm, the first copper plating tank is changed to a “high-acid low-copper type copper plating solution”, the formula of which is that the copper ion content is 20 to 30 g / L, the content of the additive is a little, the priority is high, and the solution of the last three copper plating tanks is a “high-copper low-acid type copper plating solution”, the formula of which is that the copper ion content is 50 to 70 g / L, The content is 70 to 90 g / L, and a little additive, that is, the battery piece is first fixed in the "high-acid low-copper type copper plating solution" of the first copper tank for base plating, and then randomly plated in the "high-copper low-acid type copper plating solution" of the last three copper tanks to increase the thickness; tin grid lines are plated in a methyl sulfonic acid tin plating solution, the tin grid line height is controlled at 2 to 4 μm, and the plating process is: oil removal→water washing→water washing→sulfuric acid activation→copper plating (first copper tank)→copper plating (last three copper tanks)→water washing→water washing→water washing→tin plating→water washing→water washing→hot water washing→drying; the sixth step is film removal and etching back: first, all the photosensitive glue and mask materials are removed in an alkaline (NaOH, KOH, etc.) solution, second, the copper seed layer and the copper oxide film layer in the non-grid line area are removed in a dilute sulfuric acid solution, and finally only the grid lines are left on the surface of the ITO conductive film; the seventh step is to perform photo injection treatment on the battery piece after film removal and etching back, the photo injection temperature is 200 to 220 degrees Celsius, and the time is 60 to 120 seconds; the eighth step is to complete the battery piece manufacturing, and the battery grid line bonding force test is performed.
