[0002] In related technologies, the P-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer in back-contact batteries (such as TBC batteries) is a uniformly doped boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer. However, boron tends to segregate towards the tunnel oxide interface and readily combines with oxygen at the interface to form BO complexes, inducing LID (Light-Induced Degradation) and simultaneously compromising the passivation effect of the tunnel oxide layer. Furthermore, uniformly doped boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layers have weak field passivation capabilities, reducing the battery's open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency. Additionally, their high contact resistance with the metal electrode results in a poor fill factor, further impacting the battery's conversion efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Tunneling oxide passivation contact technology (TOPCon) consists of an ultrathin tunneling oxide layer and a doped polycrystalline silicon layer. It can significantly reduce surface recombination in crystalline silicon cells and improve open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency. The fabrication method for back-contact cells (such as TBC cells) in related technologies involves first oxidizing an ultrathin SiOx layer at high temperature on a silicon substrate as a tunneling oxide layer. Then, intrinsic polycrystalline silicon is deposited on the tunneling oxide layer, and phosphorus / boron elements are doped into the intrinsic polycrystalline silicon using a diffusion method to form N-type doped polycrystalline silicon (phosphorus doping) / P-type doped polycrystalline silicon (boron doping).
[0032] However, the segregation coefficient of boron in Si / SiOx is approximately 1 / 10. During the cooling process after high temperature, boron tends to segregate towards the tunneling oxide layer interface, forming BO complexes with oxygen at the interface. This induces photo-induced degradation and simultaneously impairs the passivation effect of the tunneling oxide layer, reducing the open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery. Furthermore, the uniform boron doping in P-type doped polycrystalline silicon results in weak field passivation capability, further reducing the open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery. Additionally, the higher contact resistance with the metal electrode leads to a poorer fill factor, impacting the battery's conversion efficiency.
[0033] Based on this, the present invention discloses a back-contact battery and its fabrication method, as well as a tandem battery. By setting a gallium-doped polysilicon layer between the first tunneling oxide layer and the boron-doped polysilicon layer, boron segregation into the first tunneling oxide layer is avoided, reducing BO recombination defects and preventing light-induced degradation. At the same time, the passivation effect of the first tunneling oxide layer is ensured, improving the open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery. In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer to the P-type doped polysilicon layer, the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer gradually increases, and the doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer gradually increases, improving carrier extraction, enhancing the field passivation capability of the P-type doped polysilicon layer, further improving the open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery, and improving the contact resistance of the P-type doped polysilicon layer, increasing the fill factor, and further improving the conversion efficiency of the battery.
[0034] As an optional implementation of the disclosure of this invention, an embodiment of this invention discloses a back contact battery, which can be a TBC (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Back Contact) battery.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a back contact battery disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. The back contact battery includes a silicon substrate 1, a first tunneling oxide layer 2, a P-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer 3, a second tunneling oxide layer 4, and an N-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer 5.
[0036] The silicon substrate 1 has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 11 includes alternating first regions 111 and second regions 112. The first surface 11 is the backlight surface (back side), and the second surface 12 is the light-receiving surface (front side). The first region 111 is a P-region, and the second region 112 is an N-region. The silicon substrate 1 can be N-type or P-type doped. As an example, the silicon substrate 1 is an N-type single-crystal silicon substrate.
[0037] The first tunneling oxide layer 2 is located in the first region 111. The material of the first tunneling oxide layer 2 includes silicon oxide (SiOx). The thickness of the first tunneling oxide layer 2 is 0.5 nm to 2 nm. The relatively thin thickness of the first tunneling oxide layer 2 allows charge carriers to pass through via quantum tunneling, while effectively chemically passivating the dangling bonds on the surface of the silicon substrate 1, reducing the interface state density.
[0038] The P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is located on the side of the first tunneling oxide layer 2 away from the silicon substrate 1. The P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 includes a gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 and a boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 stacked sequentially. In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 gradually increases, and the doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 gradually increases.
[0039] In this configuration, the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 is positioned close to the first tunneling oxide layer 2. The gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 can be a single-layer structure or a stacked structure. The dopant element in the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 is gallium, and the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 refers to the gallium doping concentration. Along the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the gallium doping concentration in the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 gradually increases; that is, the closer to the first tunneling oxide layer 2, the lower the gallium doping concentration; and the farther away from the first tunneling oxide layer 2, the higher the gallium doping concentration. Here, "gradually increasing" can refer to a continuous increase or a gradient increase. A gradient increase can refer to a uniform gradient increase or a non-uniform gradient increase.
[0040] The boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 is positioned away from the first tunneling oxide layer 2. The boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 can be a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. The dopant element in the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 is boron, and the doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 can refer to the boron doping concentration. In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the boron doping concentration in the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 gradually increases; that is, the closer to the first tunneling oxide layer 2, the lower the boron doping concentration; and the farther away from the first tunneling oxide layer 2, the higher the boron doping concentration. Here, "gradually increasing" can refer to a continuous increase or a gradient increase. A gradient increase can refer to a uniform gradient increase or a non-uniform gradient increase.
[0041] Since the segregation coefficient of gallium in Si / SiOx is approximately 20 / 1, meaning that a large amount of gallium will remain in the polycrystalline silicon, the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 31 is positioned close to the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to avoid segregation problems and prevent boron segregation into the first tunneling oxide layer 2, thereby reducing BO recombination defects and preventing light-induced degradation. At the same time, it ensures the passivation effect of the first tunneling oxide layer 2, improving the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and conversion efficiency of the battery. Furthermore, the function of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is to realize the transport of charge carriers (holes). In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 gradually increases, and the doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 gradually increases. This can form a stepped energy band inside the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, thereby accelerating the transport of charge carriers, improving the extraction of charge carriers, thereby improving the field passivation capability of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, further improving the open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery, and improving the contact resistance of the P-type doped polysilicon layer, increasing the fill factor, and further improving the conversion efficiency of the battery.
[0042] The second tunneling oxide layer 4 is located in the second region 112. The material of the second tunneling oxide layer 4 includes silicon oxide (SiOx) and the like.
[0043] The N-type doped polysilicon layer 5 is located on the side of the second tunneling oxide layer 4 facing away from the silicon substrate 1. In some embodiments of the present invention, the N-type doped polysilicon layer 5 includes a phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer. The doping element of the phosphorus-doped polysilicon layer is phosphorus. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the N-type doped polysilicon layer 5 may also be doped with group V elements such as arsenic, which will not be elaborated here.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 includes a plurality of boron-doped polysilicon sublayers 321 stacked sequentially. In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the doping concentration of the plurality of boron-doped polysilicon sublayers 321 increases sequentially.
[0045] Among the multiple boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayers 321, the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321 closest to the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 31 has the lowest doping concentration, while the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321 furthest from the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 31 has the highest doping concentration. The doping concentration is uniform within each boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321.
[0046] For example Figure 1 As shown, the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 includes a first boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321a, a second boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321b, and a third boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321c, which are stacked sequentially. Specifically, the first boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321a is positioned close to the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31, the third boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321c is positioned away from the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31, and the second boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321b is located between the first boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321a and the third boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321c. The doping concentration of the first boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321a, the second boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321b, and the third boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321c gradually increases. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 may also include two or more boron-doped polysilicon sublayers 321, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0047] The boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 32 is composed of multiple boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sub-layers 321 with progressively increasing doping concentrations. The process is highly controllable. By adjusting the number of boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sub-layers 321 and the concentration difference, the required boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 32 can be flexibly designed to meet the requirements of different silicon substrate resistivity or different cell structures for field passivation strength and conductivity.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thicknesses of the multiple boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayers 321 are the same or different.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of a plurality of boron-doped polysilicon sublayers 321 increases sequentially in the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3.
[0050] Among the multiple boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayers 321, the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321 closest to the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 31 has the lowest doping concentration and the smallest thickness, while the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321 furthest from the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 31 has the highest doping concentration and the largest thickness.
[0051] For example Figure 1 As shown, the doping concentrations of the first boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321a, the second boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321b, and the third boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321c increase sequentially, and their thicknesses also increase sequentially.
[0052] The boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 32 consists of multiple boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sub-layers 321 with successively increasing doping concentration and thickness, which further improves carrier extraction and field passivation capability.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 includes a plurality of gallium-doped polysilicon sublayers 311 stacked sequentially. In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the doping concentration of the plurality of gallium-doped polysilicon sublayers 311 increases sequentially.
[0054] Among the multiple gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayers 311, the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311 closest to the first tunneling oxide layer 2 has the lowest doping concentration, while the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311 furthest from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 has the highest doping concentration. The doping concentration is uniform within each gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311.
[0055] For example Figure 2 As shown, the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 includes a first gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311a, a second gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311b, and a third gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311c, which are stacked sequentially. Specifically, the first gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311a is disposed close to the first tunneling oxide layer 2, the third gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311c is disposed away from the first tunneling oxide layer 2, and the second gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311b is located between the first gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311a and the third gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311c. The doping concentration of the first gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311a, the second gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311b, and the third gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311c gradually increases. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 may also include two or more gallium-doped polysilicon sublayers 311, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0056] The gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 31 is composed of multiple gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sub-layers 311 with progressively increasing doping concentration. The process is highly controllable. By adjusting the number of gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sub-layers 311 and the concentration difference, the required gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 31 can be flexibly designed.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thicknesses of the plurality of gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayers 311 may be the same or different. The thicknesses of the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayers 311 and the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayers 321 may be the same or different.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of a plurality of gallium-doped polysilicon sublayers 311 increases sequentially in the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3.
[0059] Among the multiple gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayers 311, the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311 closest to the first tunneling oxide layer 2 has the lowest doping concentration and the smallest thickness, while the gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311 furthest from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 has the highest doping concentration and the largest thickness.
[0060] For example Figure 2 As shown, the doping concentrations of the first gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311a, the second gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311b, and the third gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311c increase sequentially, and their thicknesses also increase sequentially.
[0061] The gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 31 consists of multiple gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sub-layers 311 with successively increasing doping concentration and thickness, which further improves carrier extraction and field passivation capability.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 is greater than the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31. The minimum doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 can be greater than the maximum doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31. It should be noted that the minimum doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 can also be equal to the maximum doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31, ensuring that the overall doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 is greater than the overall doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31.
[0063] In the case where the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 includes a plurality of boron-doped polysilicon sublayers 321 and the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 includes a plurality of gallium-doped polysilicon sublayers 311, the doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321 closest to the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 is greater than or equal to the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311 closest to the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32.
[0064] The doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 is aligned with that of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31, so that the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 forms a gradient band structure with increasing valence band energy levels, which further improves carrier extraction and field passivation capability.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the doping concentration of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is 1×10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3 The doping concentration of the p-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is 1×10⁻⁶.17 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3 The doping concentration varies between these values. The minimum doping concentration of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is not less than 1 × 10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 The maximum doping concentration of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is no greater than 1 × 10⁻⁶. 22 cm -3 .
[0066] The doping concentration of the P-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer 3 varies within the above range, which can balance passivation performance, conductivity and process feasibility.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 is 1×10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 ~5×10 19 cm -3 The doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 is 1×10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 ~5×10 19 cm -3 The doping concentration varies between these values. The minimum doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 is not less than 1 × 10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 The maximum doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 is no greater than 5 × 10⁻⁶. 19 cm -3 The doping concentration of the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 32 is 5 × 10⁻⁶. 19 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3 The doping concentration of the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 32 is 5 × 10⁻⁶. 19 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3 The doping concentration varies between these values. The minimum doping concentration of the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 32 is not less than 5 × 10⁻⁶. 19 cm -3 The maximum doping concentration of the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon layer 32 is no greater than 1×10⁻⁶. 22 cm -3 .
[0068] Varying the doping concentrations of gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 and boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 within the above range can significantly improve carrier extraction and significantly improve the field passivation capability of P-type doped polysilicon layer 3.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 includes a first gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311a, a second gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311b, and a third gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311c stacked sequentially, the doping concentration of the first gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311a is 1×10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 ~5×10 17 cm -3 The doping concentration of the second gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311b is 5 × 10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 ~5×10 18 cm -3 The doping concentration of the third gallium-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 311c is 5 × 10⁻⁶. 18 cm -3 ~5×10 19 cm -3 This ensures an effective gradient distribution, which is easily achieved through a suitable process and can significantly improve carrier extraction and field passivation capability of the p-type doped polysilicon layer 3.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 includes a first boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321a, a second boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321b, and a third boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321c stacked sequentially, the doping concentration of the first boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321a is 5 × 10⁻⁶. 19 cm -3 ~1×10 20 cm -3 The doping concentration of the second boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321b is 1×10⁻⁶. 20 cm -3 ~5×10 20 cm -3 The doping concentration of the third boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321c is 5 × 10⁻⁶. 20 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3 This ensures an effective gradient distribution, which is easily achieved through a suitable process and can significantly improve carrier extraction and field passivation capability of the p-type doped polysilicon layer 3.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 is greater than the thickness of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31. When the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 comprises multiple boron-doped polysilicon sub-layers 321, and the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 comprises multiple gallium-doped polysilicon sub-layers 311, the thickness of each boron-doped polysilicon sub-layer 321 can be greater than the thickness of the gallium-doped polysilicon sub-layer 311. Alternatively, the thickness of some boron-doped polysilicon sub-layers 321 can be greater than the thickness of the gallium-doped polysilicon sub-layer 311, while the thickness of the remaining boron-doped polysilicon sub-layers 321 is less than or equal to the thickness of the gallium-doped polysilicon sub-layer 311. No specific limitation is made here; it is sufficient to ensure that the overall thickness of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 is greater than the overall thickness of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31. As an example, the thickness of the boron-doped polysilicon sub-layer 321 closest to the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 is greater than the thickness of the gallium-doped polysilicon sub-layer 311 closest to the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32.
[0072] The gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 primarily serves interface stability, and its thickness can be set relatively thin, sufficient to prevent boron segregation to the interface. The boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 undertakes the main tasks of conductivity and field passivation, requiring sufficient thickness to accommodate the high-concentration doped region and achieve low sheet resistance.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 includes a first gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311a, a second gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311b, and a third gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311c stacked sequentially, the thickness of the first gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311a is 0.5 nm to 2 nm, the thickness of the second gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311b is 2 nm to 10 nm, and the thickness of the third gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311c is 10 nm to 30 nm. This ensures an effective gradient distribution, is easily implemented through suitable processes, and significantly improves carrier extraction and the field passivation capability of the p-type doped polysilicon layer 3.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 comprises a first boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321a, a second boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321b, and a third boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321c stacked sequentially, the thickness of the first boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321a is 10 nm to 30 nm, the thickness of the second boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321b is 30 nm to 100 nm, and the thickness of the third boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321c is 100 nm to 150 nm. This ensures an effective gradient distribution, is easily implemented through suitable processes, and significantly improves carrier extraction and field passivation capability of the p-type doped polysilicon layer 3.
[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 may further include a gallium-boron-doped polysilicon layer, which is located between the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 and the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32. The doping concentration of the gallium-boron-doped polysilicon layer can be greater than that of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 and less than that of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32, thereby achieving a smooth transition between the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 and the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32, ensuring band continuity, smooth carrier transport, and reducing series resistance.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, the doping concentration of the gallium-boron-doped polysilicon layer gradually increases in the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3. The doping elements of the gallium-boron-doped polysilicon layer are gallium and boron. In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the doping concentration of gallium-boron co-doping in the gallium-boron-doped polysilicon layer gradually increases.
[0077] The gallium-boron-doped polysilicon layer is set with a gradient doping concentration to further improve the field passivation capability of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 and improve the conversion efficiency.
[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the back contact battery further includes an intrinsic polycrystalline silicon layer, which is located between the first tunneling oxide layer 2 and the P-type doped polycrystalline silicon layer 3. The intrinsic polycrystalline silicon layer is relatively thin, such as 0.5 nm to 2 nm.
[0079] An intrinsic polysilicon layer is provided between the first tunneling oxide layer 2 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, which can further prevent boron segregation into the first tunneling oxide layer, avoid photo-induced degradation, and further improve the passivation effect of the first tunneling oxide layer 2.
[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first surface 11 further includes a spacer region 113 located between the first region 111 and the second region 112 to separate the first region 111 and the second region 112 and prevent leakage caused by short circuit.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the interval region 113 is textured to reduce surface reflectivity and optical loss.
[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, the surfaces of the first region 111 and the second region 112 are polished surfaces to improve the passivation effect and reduce the contact resistance.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second surface 12 is textured to improve light utilization, reduce reflection, and increase short-circuit current.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the back contact battery further includes a first passivation layer 6, a second passivation layer 7, a first electrode 8, and a second electrode 9.
[0085] The first passivation layer 6 covers the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the N-type doped polysilicon layer 5, and the spacer region 113. The second passivation layer 7 is located on the second surface 12. The first electrode 8 penetrates the first passivation layer 6 and is in contact with the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3. The second electrode 9 penetrates the first passivation layer 6 and is in contact with the N-type doped polysilicon layer 5. Both the first electrode 8 and the second electrode 9 are metal electrodes.
[0086] The first electrode 8 is located on the side of the first passivation layer 6 opposite to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, and extends through the first passivation layer 6 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3. The first electrode 8 can extend into the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 and contact it; the first electrode 8 can also extend into the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 and contact it. The second electrode 9 is located on the side of the first passivation layer 6 opposite to the N-type doped polysilicon layer 5, and extends through the first passivation layer 6 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 5, contacting it.
[0087] When the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 comprises multiple boron-doped polysilicon sublayers 321, the first electrode 8 can extend into any boron-doped polysilicon sublayer 321 and contact it. When the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 comprises multiple gallium-doped polysilicon sublayers 311, the first electrode 8 can also extend into any gallium-doped polysilicon sublayer 311 and contact it.
[0088] Compared to N-type doped polysilicon layers (where the contact resistance between the N-type doped polysilicon layer and the metal electrode is approximately 0.5~1.5 mΩ·cm²), P-type doped polysilicon layers have a higher contact resistance (approximately 1~5 mΩ·cm²), which can easily lead to a deterioration in the fill factor (FF) and affect the conversion efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the variation in the doping concentration of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can effectively improve the contact resistance between the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3 and the first electrode 8, increase the fill factor, and further improve the conversion efficiency of the battery. Compared to related technologies (where the P-type doped polysilicon layer is a uniformly doped boron-doped polysilicon layer), the contact resistance of the P-type doped polysilicon layer ranges from 1~5 mΩ·cm². 2 Improved to 0.5~2mΩ·cm 2 .
[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first passivation layer 6 can be a single-layer structure or a stacked structure. For example, the first passivation layer 6 includes a first aluminum oxide (AlOx) layer 61 and a first silicon nitride (SiNx) layer 62 stacked together. The thickness of the first silicon nitride layer 62 can be 10 nm to 150 nm.
[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second passivation layer 7 can be a single-layer structure or a stacked structure. For example, the second passivation layer 7 includes a second aluminum oxide (AlOx) layer 71 and a second silicon nitride (SiNx) layer 72 stacked together. The thickness of the second silicon nitride layer 72 can be 10 nm to 100 nm.
[0091] The first passivation layer 6 and the second passivation layer 7 adopt a stacked passivation structure composed of an aluminum oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer to achieve a dual passivation mechanism, which takes into account both excellent passivation effect, optical gain and long-term device stability.
[0092] As an optional implementation of the disclosure of this invention, an embodiment of this invention discloses a method for preparing a back contact battery, which can be a TBC battery, and the method for preparing the back contact battery can prepare a back contact battery as disclosed in any of the above embodiments. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a method for preparing a back contact battery according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes steps S101 to S103: S101. A silicon substrate is provided, the silicon substrate having a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other, the first surface including an alternately distributed first region and a second region.
[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the silicon substrate 1 can be an N-type single-crystal silicon substrate. After providing the silicon substrate 1, the surface of the silicon substrate 1 can be pretreated with NaOH or KOH solution. The concentration of the NaOH or KOH solution used is 5wt%~30wt%, the temperature is 50℃~90℃, and the time is 50s~500s.
[0094] The silicon substrate 1 has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 11 includes alternating first regions 111 and second regions 112. The first surface 11 is a backlight surface, and the second surface 12 is a light-receiving surface. The first region 111 is a P-region, and the second region 112 is an N-region.
[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first surface 11 further includes a spacer region 113 located between the first region 111 and the second region 112 to separate the first region 111 and the second region 112 and prevent leakage caused by short circuit.
[0096] S102. A first tunneling oxide layer and a P-type doped polysilicon layer are sequentially stacked in the first region. The P-type doped polysilicon layer includes a gallium-doped polysilicon layer and a boron-doped polysilicon layer that are sequentially stacked. In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer to the P-type doped polysilicon layer, the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer gradually increases, and the doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer gradually increases.
[0097] In some embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 4 As shown, a first initial tunneling oxide layer 2' is deposited on the first surface 11 using a PECVD process. Then, an initial gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31' is formed on the side of the first initial tunneling oxide layer 2' facing away from the silicon substrate 1 using a PECVD in-situ doping process. Next, an initial boron-doped polysilicon layer 32' is formed on the side of the initial gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31' facing away from the first initial tunneling oxide layer 2' using a PECVD in-situ doping process. The doping concentration of the initial gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31' gradually increases in the direction from the silicon substrate 1 to the first initial tunneling oxide layer 2', and the doping concentration of the initial boron-doped polysilicon layer 32' also gradually increases. In some embodiments, the initial boron-doped polysilicon layer 32' comprises a plurality of initially boron-doped polysilicon sublayers 321' stacked sequentially. The doping concentration of the plurality of initial boron-doped polysilicon sublayers 321' gradually increases in the direction from the silicon substrate 1 to the first initial tunneling oxide layer 2'.
[0098] The first initial tunneling oxide layer 2' can also be formed using other processes, such as LPCVD, which will not be elaborated here. The initial gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31' and the initial boron-doped polysilicon layer 32' can also be formed using other processes, such as LPCVD plus diffusion doping, which will not be elaborated here.
[0099] Then, combine Figure 5 As shown, for Figure 4 The structure shown is subjected to high-temperature annealing, forming a BSG (borosilicate glass) 33 on the side of the initial boron-doped polysilicon layer 32' opposite to the initial gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31'. As an example, the annealing temperature is 500℃~1000℃, the annealing time is 100s~7200s, and the annealing pressure is 500Pa~50000Pa. N2 is introduced during the high-temperature annealing process, with a flow rate of 100sccm~50000sccm.
[0100] Then, combine Figure 6 As shown, for Figure 5The structure shown is patterned (e.g., laser grooving using a 532nm green picosecond laser with a power of 10W~50W). The first initial tunneling oxide layer 2', the initial gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31', the initial boron-doped polysilicon layer 32', and the BSG 33 in the second region 112 and the spacer region 113 are removed. The first initial tunneling oxide layer 2' in the first region 111 is retained to form the first tunneling oxide layer 2. The initial gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31' in the first region 111 is retained to form the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31. The initial boron-doped polysilicon layer 32' in the first region 111 is retained to form the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32. The BSG 33 in the first region 111 is retained. The gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 and the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 constitute the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3. In the case where the initial boron-doped polysilicon layer 32' comprises multiple initially boron-doped polysilicon sub-layers 321' stacked together, the initial boron-doped polysilicon sub-layers 321' of the second region 112 and the spacer region 113 are removed by patterning, and the initial boron-doped polysilicon sub-layers 321' of the first region 111 are retained to form the boron-doped polysilicon sub-layers 321, so that the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 comprises multiple boron-doped polysilicon sub-layers 321 stacked together sequentially. Other processes, such as photolithography, can also be used for patterning, which will not be elaborated here.
[0101] Then, use NaOH or KOH solution to... Figure 6 The structure shown is then cleaned and polished. As an example, the concentration of NaOH or KOH solution is 5wt%~30wt%, the temperature is 50℃~90℃, and the time is 50s~500s.
[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mask may also be formed on the first surface 11, and the first tunneling oxide layer 2, the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31, and the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 may be sequentially stacked on the first region 111 directly through the mask to simplify the process flow. Then, the mask is removed. The gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 and the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 constitute a P-type doped polysilicon layer 3.

[0119] During the formation of the first boron-doped polycrystalline silicon sublayer 321a, silane, a boron source, and a carrier gas are introduced. The flow rate of silane is 10 sccm to 10000 sccm, the flow rate of the boron source is 50 sccm to 150 sccm, and the flow rate of the carrier gas is 300 sccm to 30000 sccm.

[0126] By setting a gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 between the first tunneling oxide layer 2 and the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32, boron segregation into the first tunneling oxide layer 2 is avoided, reducing BO recombination defects and preventing light-induced degradation. At the same time, the passivation effect of the first tunneling oxide layer 2 is ensured, improving the open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery. In the direction from the first tunneling oxide layer 2 to the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the doping concentration of the gallium-doped polysilicon layer 31 gradually increases, and the doping concentration of the boron-doped polysilicon layer 32 gradually increases. This improves carrier extraction, enhances the field passivation capability of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, further improves the open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery, and improves the contact resistance of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 3, increasing the fill factor and further improving the conversion efficiency of the battery.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 7As shown, a second initial tunneling oxide layer 4' is first deposited on the surfaces of the second region 112, the spacer region 113, and the BSG 33 using an LPCVD process.

[0222] S232, Component encapsulation.
[0223] ① Packaging material installation: In the second stage, an EVA or POE film is laid on the glass and top cell of the module. The arranged bottom cell string is then placed on the film, ensuring a tight fit between the bottom cell string and the glass and film, free of bubbles and misalignment. Subsequently, another layer of EVA or POE film is laid on the back of the cell string, and finally, a backsheet is covered. As an example, the EVA or POE film thickness is 0.1~1mm.
[0224] ②Lamination: The laid components are placed into a laminator, and a segmented lamination process is used. Preheating: temperature 50~200℃, time 1~10min; pressurization: temperature 50~200℃, pressure 0.1~2MPa, time 10~100min; cooling: temperature ≤50℃, time 1~10min.
[0225] ③ Edge trimming and cleaning: After lamination, trim any excess EVA or POE film from the edges of the module to ensure that the edges are smooth and burr-free. Then, use a lint-free cloth dampened with anhydrous ethanol to clean the surface of the module and remove any remaining film to prevent residual impurities from affecting the subsequent fabrication of the top cell.
[0226] ④ Frame mounting and junction box installation: An aluminum alloy frame is installed around the module, and the connection between the frame and the glass and back panel is sealed with sealant to ensure a tight seal and block moisture and oxygen. A junction box is installed on the back of the module, and the positive and negative leads of the bottom battery series are connected to the junction box to ensure that the wiring is firm and well insulated, avoiding the risk of short circuit.
[0227] ⑤ Component finished product testing: The encapsulated bottom and top battery stacked modules were subjected to EL and IV tests, and no dark spots, leakage current, or sealing performance were found to be qualified.
