Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heterojunction solar cell manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a heterojunction solar cell and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Heterojunction solar cells (HJCs) are typically bifacial cells with an N-type substrate. Each side of the N-type substrate has a passivation layer and different types of amorphous doped layers to form the electric field structure and emitter structure. Both sides are electrically connected via a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film. HJCs offer advantages such as simple manufacturing processes, high conversion efficiency, low temperature coefficient, and good low-light response. Furthermore, the entire process is carried out at low temperatures, making it suitable for thin-film production. Therefore, they are widely used in ground-mounted and floating solar power plants, as well as in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) applications.

[0003] In BIPV applications, where only one side receives light, HJC cells do not require bi-sided power generation. Therefore, to improve conversion efficiency, a back-reflective structure is often added to increase the cell's absorption of light waves. However, in traditional processes, a high-reflectivity metal film is deposited on the encapsulation backplane and then combined with the HJC cell through encapsulation material lamination. This results in the reflective film not forming a good ohmic contact with the HJC cell, affecting the series resistance Rser and fill factor FF. Furthermore, in BIPV applications, continuing to use indium-tin oxide (ITO) conductive film on the bottom increases the cell's production cost and is detrimental to photovoltaic production efficiency. Moreover, simply replacing the ITO layer with a common indium-free film easily leads to moisture erosion, resulting in poor cell stability and rapid deterioration of electrical performance. Therefore, a low-cost cell design suitable for BIPV applications is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0046] Heterojunction solar cells, employing an amorphous / crystalline silicon heterojunction structure, offer significant advantages in conversion efficiency, process steps, bifaciality, and low degradation, making them a popular research focus in the photovoltaic industry. Typically, heterojunction cells are bifacial power-generating cells, with transparent conductive films on both sides to allow light to enter. However, in building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications, bifacial power generation is not required, allowing for the addition of a reverse-biased structure to improve conversion efficiency. However, existing laminated reverse-biased structures suffer from poor ohmic bonding, limiting performance parameters such as series resistance and fill factor, and also exhibiting issues like high cost or poor oxidation resistance. Therefore, this application proposes an improved heterojunction solar cell suitable for BIPV applications, enabling low-cost cell manufacturing while simultaneously improving cell stability.

[0047] Figure 1 An embodiment of the heterojunction solar cell of this application is illustrated schematically.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses a heterojunction solar cell, which includes:

[0049] The N-type substrate 101 has a front side and a back side disposed opposite to each other. The heterojunction solar cell of this application is an N-type cell, with the N-type substrate 101 serving as the main light-absorbing layer to achieve the photogenerated carrier effect. Compared to a P-type substrate, the N-type substrate 101 can generate a higher current density, thus resulting in higher cell performance.

[0050] The front-side battery structure 10, located on the front side of the N-type substrate 101, includes an intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 102 and an N-type doped layer 103. The intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 102 covers both sides of the N-type substrate 101 and is used to passivate dangling bonds on the surface of the N-type substrate 101 to increase the open-circuit voltage Voc and improve battery performance. The N-type doped layer 103 forms an NN electric field structure with the N-type substrate 101 to allow electrons to pass through while blocking holes.

[0051] The back-side battery structure 20, located on the back of the N-type substrate 101, includes an intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 102 and a P-type doped layer 104. The intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 102 covers both sides of the N-type substrate 101 and is used to passivate the dangling bonds on the surface of the N-type substrate 101 to increase the open-circuit voltage Voc and improve battery performance. The P-type doped layer 104 forms a PN junction structure with the N-type substrate 101, constituting the emitter structure, and determines the upper limit of the open-circuit voltage Voc.

[0052] A front conductive layer 105 covers the front battery structure 10. The front conductive layer 105 is a transparent conductive layer used to allow light to enter and to collect charge carriers.

[0053] A back conductive layer 30 covers the back battery structure 20. The back conductive layer 30 is used to collect charge carriers. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the back conductive layer 30 also provides enhanced light reflection capability for the battery, improving the utilization rate of long-wavelength light and increasing battery conversion efficiency by extending the optical path. Wherein, as... Figure 1 As shown, the back conductive layer 30 in this embodiment is a composite structure reflective conductive layer, including: an indium-free conductive layer 106 in direct contact with the P-type doped layer 104, a metal reflective layer 107 sputtered on the indium-free conductive layer 106, and a dense protective layer 108 sputtered on the metal reflective layer 107. The dense protective layer 108 and the metal reflective layer 107 are metal thin film layers with different substrates.

[0054] With the above structure, the back of the heterojunction solar cell in this embodiment adopts a composite film structure, combining an indium-free conductive layer 106, a metal reflective layer 107, and a dense protective layer 108. By replacing the indium-containing conductive film with the indium-free conductive layer 106, the production cost of the battery is reduced. At the same time, the metal reflective layer 107 is directly sputtered on the indium-free conductive layer 106, achieving good ohmic connection while reflecting light, improving the series resistance and fill factor of the battery. Furthermore, a dense protective layer 108 is sputtered on the outside of the metal reflective layer 107, improving the battery's oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. This protects the metal reflective layer 107 and the indium-free conductive layer 106 from oxidation, inhibits the penetration of moisture into the indium-free conductive layer 106, thereby stabilizing the battery's electrical performance, reducing the battery degradation rate, and significantly improving the battery quality and service life.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the metal reflective layer 107 is a base layer of Cu, Ag, Pt, Al, Cu / Zn, or their alloys. These metal elements have strong conductivity, allowing direct contact with the indium-free conductive layer 106, enabling rapid lateral transport of charge carriers. Furthermore, their surfaces can form strong reflections, extending the optical path length within the battery, improving the utilization rate of long-wavelength light, increasing the short-circuit current Isc, and reducing the series resistance Rser. The dense protective layer 108 is a base layer of Ag, Pt, Ni, Cr, Sn, or their alloys. These metals have a dense layer structure, exhibiting strong oxidation and corrosion resistance. They protect the internal metal reflective layer 107 and the indium-free conductive layer 106 from oxidation and degradation, and especially prevent moisture intrusion, avoiding degradation of the relatively reactive AZO film due to moisture intrusion, thereby significantly improving the battery's stability. In some preferred embodiments of this application, considering both cost and performance, the thickness of the metal reflective layer 107 is optimally 50-100 nm, preferably 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100 nm. The thickness of the dense protective layer 108 is optimally 30-50 nm, preferably 46, 47, 48, 49, or 50 nm.

[0056] In some preferred embodiments of this application, the metal reflective layer 107 is a Cu base layer with a thickness of 50-100 nm. The Cu base layer has the advantage of lower cost compared to the Ag base layer, and as a back reflective film, it has strong reflectivity and good conductivity, effectively utilizing long-wavelength light and achieving rapid carrier transport, increasing Isc and reducing Rser. The dense protective layer 108 is a Cr / Ni composite base layer with a thickness of 30-50 nm. The nickel-chromium thin film is the outermost layer on the back of the battery. Its dense atomic arrangement effectively prevents water vapor and oxygen from diffusing into the battery. Furthermore, as the chromium content in the nickel-chromium alloy increases, its oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance are further enhanced, effectively ensuring battery stability. The preferred thickness of the Cu base layer is 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100 nm. A higher thickness ensures the formation of a complete, highly reflective film and improves the bonding ability with the indium-free conductive layer 106 and its lateral conductivity. The preferred thickness of the Cr / Ni composite substrate is 46, 47, 48, 49 or 50 nm. While controlling the overall thickness of the battery, the thickness should be increased as much as possible to improve the resistance to water vapor and oxygen intrusion.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the indium-free conductive layer 106 is an AZO film layer with a composite structure, including: a modifying functional layer 1061 directly contacting the p-type doped layer 104, and a barrier functional layer 1062 covering the modifying functional layer 1061. Both the modifying functional layer 1061 and the barrier functional layer 1062 are generated by magnetron sputtering, and the thickness of the barrier functional layer 1062 is greater than that of the modifying functional layer 1061. In heterojunction solar cells, the ITO layer containing the noble metal indium is a cost-sensitive layer. Therefore, by replacing ITO with AZO (zinc aluminum oxide), which has a significantly lower cost, this application can effectively control the cost of the battery and improve battery efficiency. It should be noted that when the AZO film layer is directly used to replace the ITO layer on the back of the battery, the AZO film layer is relatively reactive and easily corroded by moisture. As the battery is used, its electrical performance will deteriorate rapidly, affecting the battery quality. Fortunately, this application utilizes both the back metal reflective layer 107 and the dense protective layer 108 to achieve battery protection. The shielding and anti-oxidation effects of the dual-metal layer suppress the penetration of moisture and oxygen into the AZO film, protecting its stability. Furthermore, to better accommodate the back metal layer and address the challenge of metal atom diffusion caused by direct sputtering of the metal layer onto the AZO film in new processes, this application's embodiments feature a structural design for the AZO film, employing a composite structure layer design with different doping concentrations and thicknesses to stabilize battery performance. The thickness of the modified functional layer 1061 is 10-20 nm, preferably 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 nm. The quality of the interface contact between the modified functional layer 1061 and the p-type doped layer 104 directly affects the electron tunneling efficiency, thereby influencing the battery's fill factor FF. To achieve a high carrier concentration, the aluminum doping concentration of the modified functional layer 1061 is greater than that of the barrier functional layer 1062. Preferably, a ZnO film with more than 2 wt% Al₂O₃ is formed to act as an interface modifier, utilizing the high aluminum doping concentration to increase the carrier transport velocity. Furthermore, compared to the barrier functional layer 1062, the modified functional layer 1061 is sputtered in a hydrogen-rich environment under lower oxygen-argon ratio conditions. The lower oxygen-argon ratio allows for the formation of more oxygen vacancies during sputtering; while the effective hydrogen doping provides hydrogen donors and also passivates film defects. The thickness of the barrier functional layer 1062 is 80-90 nm, preferably 86, 87, 88, 89, or 90 nm. This thickness is sufficient to prevent metal atoms (such as Cu atoms) from the metal reflective layer 107 from diffusing into the battery, thereby suppressing the diffusion effect of the sputtered metal layer. Meanwhile, the barrier layer 1062 adopts a columnar crystal structure, which enables rapid longitudinal transport of charge carriers and allows them to be laterally transported to the lower resistivity metal reflective layer 107, thereby reducing the series resistance Rser and increasing the fill factor FF. A preferred thickness of the modified functional layer 1061 is 10 nm. To control the overall thickness and volume of the battery, it is recommended to select the minimum thickness that meets electrical performance requirements.The preferred thickness of the barrier functional layer 1062 is 90 nm, which, while maintaining the overall thickness of the battery, prevents the sputtered metal layer from diffusing metal atoms into the battery with the highest possible thickness.

[0058] In other embodiments of this application, the indium-free conductive layer 106 may also be a composite structure film layer with other indium-free doping components. For example, the modified functional layer 1061 is a GZO (gallium-doped zinc oxide) layer or a GAZO (gallium-doped aluminum-doped zinc oxide) layer, formed by sputtering using a similar hydrogen-doped and oxygen-doped gas process. The stop functional layer 1062 is SnO2 and its doped film layer, formed by sputtering using a similar oxygen-doped gas process.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the front conductive layer 105 is still an ITO (indium tin oxide) layer with a thickness of 80-100 nm, providing good light transmittance and conductivity. The ITO layer is preferably 88 nm thick. The N-type substrate 101 has a thickness of 130-165 μm, preferably 140 μm, and its size is determined according to the cell size, for example, 166 mm × 166 mm. The intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 102 has a thickness of 4-10 nm, serving to passivate the surface of the N-type substrate 101; its performance is positively correlated with Voc, and its thickness is preferably 9 nm. The N-type doped layer 103 has a thickness of 20-30 nm, preferably 20 nm. The P-type doped layer 104 has a thickness of 20-30 nm, preferably 25 nm. The N-type doped layer 103 and the P-type doped layer 104 form the electric field structure and emitter structure with the N-type substrate 101, respectively, satisfying the basis for the photovoltaic effect.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, front electrode 110 and back electrode 109 are respectively printed on the outer sides of the front conductive layer 105 and the back conductive layer 30 to achieve current conduction. Both the front electrode 110 and the back electrode 109 are formed by silver paste printed using a chain screen printing machine. The front electrode 110 is a silver electrode with 12 main grid lines and 92 fine grid lines, and the back electrode 109 is a silver electrode with 12 main grid lines and 140 fine grid lines.

[0061] According to another aspect of this application, a method for manufacturing a heterojunction solar cell is provided, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0062] Step S1: Provide an N-type substrate 101 and perform cleaning and texturing on the N-type substrate 101. Through cleaning and texturing, a pyramidal textured structure suitable for deposition is formed on the surface of the N-type substrate 101, improving the bonding ability and thus enhancing the electrical performance and structural stability of the battery.

[0063] In step S2, a front-side battery structure 10 and a back-side battery structure 20 are deposited and fabricated on the front and back sides of the N-type substrate 101, respectively. This forms the structural basis for realizing the photovoltaic effect.

[0064] Step S3: A transparent conductive layer is deposited on the front battery structure 10 to form a front conductive layer 105. The front conductive layer 105 is used to enable carrier outflow and incident light transmission.

[0065] In step S4, an indium-free conductive layer 106, a metal reflective layer 107, and a dense protective layer 108 are successively deposited on the back battery structure 20 to form a composite structure back conductive layer 30. The indium-free conductive layer 106 replaces the ITO layer at low cost, reducing battery cost. The metal reflective layer 107 is directly sputtered onto the indium-free conductive layer 106, providing enhanced light reflection to improve battery efficiency, while also enhancing ohmic connection and reducing battery series internal resistance. The dense protective layer 108 covers the back of the battery, preventing moisture and oxygen intrusion through its dense structure, thus improving the battery's oxidation resistance and stability.

[0098] The performance of the heterojunction solar cell of Embodiment 1 of this application and the dual ITO structure heterojunction solar cell of the comparative example were tested, and the test results are shown in the table below.

[0099]

[0100] Table 1 Battery performance test results

[0101] The test results above show that the performance parameters of Embodiment 1 of this application and the existing high-cost bifacial ITO heterojunction cells all meet the electrical performance requirements. Furthermore, the battery in Embodiment 1 of this application has a smaller series resistance Rser, and larger short-circuit current Isc, photocurrent density Jsc, open-circuit voltage Voc, and fill factor FF, resulting in higher battery efficiency. Therefore, this application provides a heterojunction solar cell suitable for BIPV single-sided light-receiving scenarios, which can replace existing bifacial ITO cell solutions at a low cost, improving efficiency for building-integrated photovoltaic applications and facilitating the promotion and application of heterojunction cells in the civilian photovoltaic industry.

[0102] In summary, the heterojunction solar cell of this application overcomes the problems of high cost of existing bifacial ITO and poor stability of single indium-free conductive film. It uses a composite film structure to directly integrate the back reflector with the cell. The composite film structure on the back of the cell combines an indium-free conductive layer, a metal reflective layer, and a dense protective layer. By replacing the indium-containing conductive film with an indium-free conductive layer, the production cost of the cell is reduced. Simultaneously, a metal reflective layer is directly sputtered onto the indium-free conductive layer, achieving good ohmic connection while reflecting light, improving the cell's series resistance and fill factor. Furthermore, a dense protective layer is sputtered outside the metal reflective layer, improving the cell's oxidation and corrosion resistance. This protects the metal reflective layer and the indium-free conductive layer from oxidation and inhibits moisture penetration into the indium-free conductive layer, thereby stabilizing the cell's electrical performance, reducing the cell's degradation rate, and significantly improving the cell's quality and lifespan.

[0103] In a preferred embodiment of this application, based on the principle of small lattice mismatch in similar thin films, indium-free conductive layers are prepared by selecting AZO layers with different doping concentrations. The interface of the P-type doped layer is modified using a high-aluminum-doped functional layer. The high carrier concentration interface increases the carrier tunneling capability and improves the transport capacity. A low-aluminum, high-thickness barrier functional layer is used to achieve a good transition to the metal reflective layer. While improving the bonding quality of the metal reflective film by using columnar crystal layer inlay, the longitudinal carrier transport capacity is improved, and the diffusion effect of metal atoms is overcome, thus achieving better battery electrical performance and stability.

[0104] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
