Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, specifically to a TOPCon cell structure and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] TOPCon is a high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cell technology, its core being its unique back-side passivated contact structure. By fabricating an oxide layer and a doped polycrystalline silicon thin film on the back of the cell to form the passivated contact structure, the metal electrode is completely separated from the silicon substrate, reducing the back-side recombination current density (J0) to below 10 fA / cm², achieving excellent passivation of the silicon wafer surface. This tunneling oxide layer utilizes the quantum tunneling effect, allowing majority carriers (such as electrons) to pass through smoothly while blocking the recombination of minority carriers (such as holes), thereby effectively reducing surface recombination and metal-contact recombination, improving the cell's open-circuit voltage and energy conversion efficiency. As one of the representative technologies of N-type cells, its single-junction theoretical efficiency reaches 28.7%. Compared to traditional P-type silicon wafers, N-type silicon has lower metal impurity sensitivity, higher minority carrier lifetime, and does not suffer from light-induced degradation (LID) problems caused by boron-oxygen recombination, providing a foundation for the cell's high-efficiency performance. The front side features a P-type emitter, silicon nitride antireflection film, and other structures to form a PN junction, reduce light reflection, and improve light absorption.
[0003] Improving passivation performance is crucial for high-efficiency solar cells because it directly relates to controlling the internal loss in the cell's conversion of photons into electrical energy. In existing cell passivation technologies, the low solid solubility of boron in silicon in the PN junction, which relies on boron diffusion for the front surface, results in poor surface passivation. Alumina thin films, due to their high density of fixed negative charges, are often paired with silicon nitride layers for front surface passivation of high-efficiency TOPCon cells. However, as high-efficiency solar cell technology enters a new phase driven by both efficiency improvements and cost reductions, performance and reliability face significant challenges. Ultraviolet (UV) light is one of the important environmental stress factors. When photovoltaic modules are exposed to high-energy UV light, the passivation formed by the single-layer alumina film and silicon nitride layer is damaged. UV light can activate defect states at the photovoltaic module interface, leading to an increase in defect state density, weakening the previously crucial chemical passivation effect, affecting the fixed charges at the interface, and degrading the field-effect passivation performance, ultimately resulting in a loss of photoelectric conversion efficiency in the photovoltaic module. Although the passivation performance can be improved by increasing the thickness of Al2O3, excessive Al2O3 thickness will increase the carrier penetration resistance to a certain extent, resulting in short-circuit current loss in the battery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address or partially address the problems existing in related technologies, this invention provides a TOPCon battery structure and its preparation method. The TOPCon battery structure prepared by this method can enhance the passivation performance of the battery through the combination of an Al2O3 amorphous layer and a γ-Al2O3 metastable phase layer.

Transfer the silicon substrate wafer to another reactor for post-annealing. S5. After the treatment is completed, continue to deposit a gradient composite film layer on the front side at the same temperature. S6. The silicon substrate obtained in step S5 is used to make the finished TOPCon battery.
[0009] Preferably, in step S1, the pretreatment of the N-type silicon substrate includes: texturing and fabrication, boron diffusion, oxidation, LP / PE-Poly, removal of front and back phosphosilicate glass and borosilicate glass, and forming a boron-doped emitter on the front surface of the N-type silicon substrate after the pretreatment.
[0010] Preferably, in step S2, the precursor for preparing the first crystalline phase Al2O3 amorphous layer is an aluminum source, O3 and H2O(g), and the preparation temperature is 180-280 ℃.
[0011] Preferably, in step S3, the precursors for preparing the second crystalline phase γ-Al2O3 metastable phase layer are aluminum source and O3, and the preparation temperature is 270-370℃.
[0012] Preferably, the aluminum source is trimethylaluminum (TMA), aluminum chloride, or alkylaluminum.
[0013] Preferably, in step S4, the post-annealing process involves heating the inner cavity of the reactor from room temperature to 250-350°C at a heating rate of 5-10°C / min after loading, continuing to raise the cavity temperature to the holding temperature at a heating rate of 10-15°C / min, holding the temperature at 360-450°C for 5-15 minutes, and then raising the temperature to 460-550°C at a heating rate of 15-20°C / min after holding. The heat preservation process is carried out in an O2 atmosphere with an O2 flow rate of 1000~3000 scccm.
[0014] At a temperature of 460-550℃, continue to deposit a gradient composite film by vacuuming, leak detection, deposition, vacuuming, purging, nitrogen filling, and vacuum breaking.

The first crystalline phase Al2O3 amorphous layer is long-range disordered, with non-periodic atomic arrangement and contains a large number of dangling bonds and structural defects. The second crystalline phase γ-Al2O3 metastable layer has a high specific surface area and good thermal stability, and can synergistically form a high density of fixed negative charges. These charges can effectively repel minority carriers and reduce surface recombination. The long-range disordered Al2O3 amorphous layer and the partially ordered γ-Al2O3 are metastable and conducive to the formation of a large number of dangling bonds at the alumina and silicon interface. With the assistance of hydrogen, these dangling bonds can effectively fix negative charges, thereby achieving an extremely low surface recombination rate and having an excellent passivation effect.
[0017] (2) The present invention utilizes the first crystalline phase Al2O3 amorphous layer and the second crystalline phase γ-Al2O3 metastable layer, which work together with the composite film formed by the post-annealing process in an oxygen atmosphere to enhance the battery’s resistance to photothermal radiation. The combination of these properties, along with the adjustment of various core process parameters, optimizes the stoichiometry of the thin film, fills oxygen vacancies, and improves dielectric properties, forming a high-quality alumina thin layer interface on the silicon-based surface, enhancing chemical bond energy, and avoiding passivation failure caused by Si-H bond breakage under photothermal conditions.
[0018] (3) The temperature of the synthesis of the first crystalline phase Al2O3 amorphous layer and the second crystalline phase γ-Al2O3 metastable layer, the process and temperature of the post-annealing treatment, and the oxygen source atmosphere (post-annealing is carried out at a constant temperature in an oxygen atmosphere) in the preparation method of the present invention ensure the interface state density, avoid the destruction of Si-H bonds at high temperature, and the setting of low temperature oxygen annealing further improves the film density, effectively improves the quality of alumina film, greatly reduces the fluctuation of positive charge inside it, and promotes the formation of beneficial fixed negative charge in the film.

[0055] Comparative Example 1 The comparative example uses existing solar cell fabrication methods, including the following steps: N-type silicon substrates that have undergone conventional pretreatment processes were selected. A single-phase alumina passivation layer was prepared using an ALD tube furnace, with trimethylaluminum (TMA) and H₂O(g) as raw materials. The reaction temperature in the tube furnace was set to 230℃, and the thickness was 3 nm. The layer was then transferred to a CVD tube furnace to prepare the front-side thin film. The front-side film preparation process included heating, vacuuming, leak detection, deposition, vacuuming, purging, nitrogen purging, and vacuum breaking. The solar cell then underwent subsequent processes including back-side film preparation, front and back metallization, sintering, photo-injection annealing, and laser-induced formation of the finished solar cell.
[0056] The batteries prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were tested using the quasi-steady-state photoconductivity decay method. Specifically, a Sinton WCT-120 instrument was used to test silicon wafers that had only completed double-sided deposition of the front and back films but had not yet had metal electrodes sintered. The test results are shown in Table 1, which compares the passivation performance of the multiphase alumina structure battery of Example 1 with that of the single-phase alumina structure battery of Comparative Example 1.
[0057] Table 1 Minority carrier lifetime, interfacial recombination current density (J0), and simulated open-circuit voltage (iVoc) are three key parameters for evaluating the passivation effect of a battery. These three parameters directly reflect the quality of the passivation performance, characterizing it from different perspectives. The underlying mechanism is closely related to suppressing carrier recombination. A longer lifetime indicates a lower probability of carriers being captured and recombinating due to surface / interface defects, and a better suppression effect of the passivation layer on recombination centers. A lower J0 value indicates a slower recombination rate per unit surface area, and a higher overall quality of the passivation layer (including chemical passivation and field-effect passivation). A higher iVoc indicates a higher upper limit of voltage output that the battery can achieve under ideal conditions, directly reflecting the limiting potential difference that the passivation structure can achieve. As shown in Table 1, compared with the existing single-phase alumina structure battery, the multiphase alumina structure battery of Example 1 of this invention has a higher minority carrier lifetime, lower interfacial recombination current density (J0), and higher simulated open-circuit voltage (iVoc), indicating that its surface passivation effect is significantly improved.
[0058] The multiphase alumina structure battery of Example 1 and the comparative single-phase alumina structure battery were subjected to module power decay tests, i.e., ultraviolet aging tests (UV aging tests are one of the common methods to evaluate the stability and passivation of battery devices). The power decay test comparison is shown in Table 2. As can be seen from Table 2, the power decay of the multiphase alumina structure battery of Example 1 before and after the test is 0.11% compared with the comparative single-phase alumina structure battery of the prior art. Compared with the 1.76% power decay of the comparative single-phase alumina structure battery, the passivation performance is significantly better, indicating that the passivation performance of the battery obtained by the method of the present invention is significantly improved (because the fundamental reason behind the UV-induced battery power decay is the deterioration of the battery's passivation performance, which can be indirectly reflected by the results of the UV aging test). Table 2 The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0059] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
