[0002] A solar cell is a thin photoelectric semiconductor sheet that directly generates electricity using sunlight, also known as a "solar chip" or "photovoltaic cell". As long as it is illuminated by light with a certain illuminance condition, it can instantaneously output voltage and generate current in the case of a circuit. As one of the cleanest energy sources at present, a large number of graphite boats composed of graphite boat leaves and ceramic rings are required in its manufacturing process to form an antireflection film on the surface of silicon wafers.

[0003] The graphite boat used for depositing film layers by a tube-type PECVD device is used as a carrier. The boat leaves of the graphite boat are made of graphite material, which has good electrical conductivity. Ceramic rings are used as electrical insulation between the boat leaves of the graphite boat.

[0004] For the poly process of TOPCoN cells, during the film layer deposition process, doped phosphorus amorphous silicon will be deposited on the boat leaves and ceramic rings of the graphite boat at the same time. And too much amorphous silicon layer deposited on the ceramic ring will cause conduction between two boat leaves, making the boat leaves no longer insulated, easily causing power fluctuations and then interrupting the process, increasing rework, and further affecting the output and production cost.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a graphite boat ceramic ring to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model
