At present, photovoltaic power generation of solar cells has become relatively mature. With the rapid development of photovoltaic technology, N-type cells have been popular in the industry for their higher power generation efficiency. Among them, N-type TOPCon cells have been mass-produced.

[0003] The existing patent (Announcement No.: CN112349816A) discloses a method for preparing an efficient and low-cost N-type TOPCon cell based on PECVD technology, including removing damage from a bare silicon wafer and performing surface morphology treatment, and using plate-type PECVD to deposit a tunneling oxide layer, an intrinsic polycrystalline silicon layer, and an in-situ doped amorphous silicon layer. The thickness of the tunneling oxide layer is 1-2nm, and the thickness of the intrinsic polycrystalline layer is 10-60nm. The preparation process is based on PECVD technology, and first prepares a tunneling oxide layer on the back and superimposes a doped polycrystalline silicon layer, and then crystallizes it through a subsequent boron diffusion high-temperature process, and then prepares a front PN junction, and then passivates and prints electrodes. However, the thickness of the in-situ doped polycrystalline silicon layer of the obtained TOPCon cell is uneven, and it is difficult to substantially change the defect by adjusting the process parameters of the in-situ doping.
