Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a solar cell structure. Background Art

[0002] HJT solar cells integrate the advantages of crystalline silicon and thin-film solar cells. They have attracted much attention in the industry among high-efficiency crystalline silicon cells due to their high efficiency, simple structure, low energy consumption in the preparation process, low cost, low temperature coefficient, and large double-sided power generation. It has a double-sided symmetrical structure, and the back side can also collect scattered sunlight. The n-type body silicon layer is about 150-200um, with a bandgap of about 1.12eV. The n-type (na-Si:H) and p-type (pa-Si:H) amorphous silicon doping layers are on both sides, with a thickness of about 5-10nm and a bandgap of about 1.7-1.9eV. This produces a difference in band gaps, resulting in discontinuity of the energy band at the interface. Therefore, an intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin layer (ia-Si:H) with a thickness of 5-10nm is introduced, which can passivate the dangling bonds between amorphous silicon and crystalline silicon, reduce contact barriers and leakage current, reduce interface state density, and suppress tunneling current, and has a good buffering effect. The photogenerated carriers generated inside the battery are transmitted through the TCO layers on both sides, collected and exported through the gate electrodes printed on its surface, forming a simple structure of a heterojunction battery: front surface gate line / light-incoming side TCO / a-Si:H(n) / a-Si:H(i) / n-type crystalline silicon / a-Si:H(i) / a-Si:H(p) / backlight side TCO / back surface gate line.

[0003] In HJT solar cells, due to the poor conductivity of the amorphous silicon layer (a-Si:H), in order to better collect and transmit carriers, a TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide) layer is added between the gate and a-Si:H as a connection to compensate for the defect of insufficient lateral transmission capacity of the amorphous silicon layer and form a better ohmic contact with the gate electrode. In addition to the light trapping effect of the velvet structure, it also has an anti-reflection effect as a window layer. In order to obtain more efficient HJT cells, continuously enhancing the conductivity and light transmittance of the TCO layer is the focus of research.

[0004] The existing method for preparing the TCO layer is to deposit an ITO film on the surface of an amorphous silicon layer (a-Si:H) by magnetron sputtering. In order to improve the utilization rate of the target material and the performance of the film layer, a higher power is often used for the deposition of the ITO film. This coating method causes ion bombardment damage to the amorphous silicon layer (a-Si:H), reducing the passivation effect. A single-layer ITO film cannot take into account both light transmittance and conductivity. The existing ITO film is thick and expensive. Utility Model Content

[0028] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Figure 1A structural diagram of a heterojunction solar cell TCO layer structure of an embodiment of the utility model is shown. The embodiment relates to a heterojunction solar cell TCO layer structure and a solar cell structure. The heterojunction solar cell TCO layer structure is ITO layer / metal layer / ITO layer. The provision of the metal layer can improve the conductivity of the ITO film and reduce the thickness of the ITO film, thereby improving its light transmittance. The thickness of the ITO layer on both sides of the metal layer is different, and the metal layer is regulated at different positions between the two ITO layers to achieve different performance requirements.

[0030] A TCO layer structure of a heterojunction solar cell, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, it includes a metal layer 2 and a first ITO layer 1 and a second ITO layer 3 arranged on both sides of the metal layer 2. The thickness of the first ITO layer 1 is different from the thickness of the second ITO layer 3. The TCO layer structure of the heterojunction solar cell has two structures, one is that the thickness of the first ITO layer 1 is greater than the thickness of the second ITO layer 3, and the other structure is that the thickness of the first ITO layer 1 is less than the thickness of the second ITO layer 3; the TCO layer structure of the heterojunction solar cell is ITO layer / metal layer 2 / ITO layer, and the metal layer 2 is provided to improve the conductivity of the ITO layer film, and at the same time, the thickness of the ITO layer film can be reduced, thereby improving the light transmittance of the ITO layer.

[0031] The thickness of the first ITO layer 1 is different from that of the second ITO layer 3, and different sputtering powers are used for deposition. In some feasible embodiments, the first ITO layer 1 is in contact with the battery cell 4, and the second ITO layer 3 is away from the battery cell 4. The metal layer 2 promotes the growth of the grains of the second ITO layer 3. When the thickness of the second ITO layer 3 is greater than the thickness of the first ITO layer 1, the crystallinity of the second ITO layer 3 is enhanced under the action of the metal layer 2, and the grains of the second ITO layer 3 grow and the size of the grains increases, thereby increasing the conductivity of the TCO layer structure of the heterojunction solar cell and reducing the transmittance; when the thickness of the first ITO layer 1 is greater than the thickness of the second ITO layer 3, the conductivity of the TCO layer structure of the heterojunction solar cell is reduced and the transmittance is increased.

[0032] By setting the thickness of the first ITO layer 1 to be different from that of the second ITO layer 3 , the metal layer 2 can be adjusted at different positions between the thickness of the first ITO layer 1 and the second ITO layer 3 , thereby achieving different performance requirements.

[0033] The setting of the metal layer 2 makes the conductivity of the heterojunction solar cell TCO layer structure better than the conductivity of the heterojunction solar cell TCO layer structure with a single ITO layer. The above-mentioned metal layer 2 includes but is not limited to gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium or titanium. The material type of the metal layer 2 is selected according to actual needs and no specific requirements are made here.

[0046] That is, the second ITO layer 3 on the front side of the cell 4 and the second ITO layer 3 on the back side of the cell 4 are both deposited in the sputtering chamber of the PVD equipment, with the same sputtering power, ie, 1000-1200W.

[0047] The thickness of the second ITO layer 3 on the front side of the battery cell is less than the thickness of the second ITO layer 3 on the back side of the battery cell 4. The thickness of the second ITO layer 3 on the front side of the battery cell 4 is 10-20nm.
