[0049] The composite TCO layer 5 is arranged in at least part of the region on the side of the first doped layer 22 and the second doped layer 42 away from the silicon substrate 1,
[0050] The composite TCO layer 5 comprises a first TCO layer 51 and a second TCO layer 52 arranged in sequence in a direction away from the silicon substrate 1, and the refractive index of the first TCO layer 51 is greater than that of the second TCO layer 52.
[0051] It can be understood that the silicon substrate 1 has a light-receiving surface and a back surface arranged oppositely, wherein the light-receiving surface generally refers to the surface that receives light, and the surface can also be provided with a passivation layer, an anti-reflection layer and the like commonly used in the art, but is not limited thereto. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the back surface can also absorb light rays entering via the back surface, thereby generating a photoelectric current.
[0052] In the utility model, the composite TCO layer 5 is arranged on the back surface of the back contact battery, wherein the composite TCO layer 5 comprises a first TCO layer 51 and a second TCO layer 52 arranged in sequence in a direction away from the silicon substrate 1, and the refractive index of the first TCO layer 51 is greater than that of the second TCO layer 52, by the increasing setting of the refractive index of the composite TCO layer 5 from outside to inside, the refractive index difference between the TCO layer (the second TCO layer 52) on the outside and the air can be reduced, which is beneficial to more light rays entering the composite TCO layer 5, at the same time, when the light rays enter the TCO layer (the second TCO layer 52) on the outside, the light rays can more easily penetrate the interface and enter the first TCO layer 51 with higher refractive index, enter the inside of the battery, reduce the reflection loss, and the refractive index difference design between the first TCO layer 51 and the second TCO layer 52 can control the spectral absorption characteristics of the composite TCO layer 5 as a whole, and the refractive index difference design between the first TCO layer 51 and the second TCO layer 52 has better back reflection effect for long-wave band (especially in the range of 900nm-1200nm wave band), after the long-wave band transmits through the silicon substrate 1, the light rays are reflected by the composite TCO layer 5 on the back surface and then enter the silicon substrate 1, and the long-wave band light rays can be repeatedly used, so that the long-wave band light can be fully utilized, and the battery short-circuit current is improved. Therefore, by the mutual cooperation of the refractive index between the first TCO layer 51 and the second TCO layer 52 in the composite TCO layer 5, the light utilization rate can be effectively improved, the battery short-circuit current is improved, and the battery conversion efficiency is improved.
[0053] In some embodiments, the refractive index n1 of the first TCO layer 51 is 1.5 n1≤3.0, and the refractive index n2 of the second TCO layer 52 is 1.5
[0054] In some embodiments, the refractive index of the first TCO layer 51 and the refractive index of the second TCO layer 52 are not too high or too low, otherwise the light utilization rate will be reduced.
[0055] For example, the refractive index n1 of the first TCO layer 51 is 1.51, 1.55, 1.58, 1.6, 1.62, 1.65, 1.68, 1.70, 1.75, 1.78, 1.8, 1.82, 1.85, 1.88, 1.9, 1.95, 2.0, 2.05, 2.10, 2.15, 2.2, 2.25, 2.3, 2.35, 2.4, 2.45, 2.48, 2.5, 2.55, 2.6, 2.65, 2.7, 2.75, 2.8, 2.85, 2.9, 2.95, or 3.0, but not limited thereto.
[0056] For example, the refractive index n2 of the second TCO layer 52 is 1.5, 1.55, 1.58, 1.6, 1.62, 1.65, 1.68, 1.70, 1.75, 1.78, 1.8, 1.82, 1.85, 1.88, 1.9, 1.95, 2.0, 2.05, 2.10, 2.15, 2.2, 2.25, 2.3, 2.35, 2.4, 2.45, 2.48, 2.5, 2.55, 2.6, 2.65, 2.7, 2.75, 2.8, 2.85, 2.9, 2.95, or 2.99, but not limited thereto.
[0057] In some embodiments, the ratio between the refractive index of the first TCO layer 51 and the refractive index of the second TCO layer 52 is 1:0.77-0.95.
[0058] In some embodiments, the difference between the refractive index of the first TCO layer 51 and the refractive index of the second TCO layer 52 is not too large, otherwise the optical loss will be increased and the effective utilization of light will be reduced.
[0059] For example, the ratio between the refractive index of the first TCO layer 51 and the refractive index of the second TCO layer 52 (i.e. n1 / n2) is 1:0.77, 1:0.8, 1:0.82, 1:0.85, 1:0.88, 1:0.9, 1:0.92, or 1:0.95, but not limited thereto.
[0060] In some embodiments, preferably, the refractive index n1 of the first TCO layer 51 is 1.9≤n1≤2.2, and the refractive index n2 of the second TCO layer 52 is 1.7≤n2≤2.0.
[0061] By adjusting the refractive index n1 of the first TCO layer 51 and the refractive index n2 of the second TCO layer 52, light can more easily enter the battery, effectively reducing reflection loss. It can also adjust the overall spectral absorption characteristics of the composite TCO layer 5, resulting in better back reflection effect in the long wavelength range. This allows for full utilization of long wavelength light and increases the battery's short-circuit current.
[0062] For example, the refractive index n1 of the first TCO layer 51 is 1.9, 1.92, 1.95, 1.98, 2.0, 2.05, 2.08, 2.1, 2.15, 2.18 or 2.2, but is not limited thereto.
[0063] For example, the refractive index n2 of the second TCO layer 52 is 1.7, 1.72, 1.75, 1.8, 1.82, 1.85, 1.9, 1.92, 1.95, 1.98 or 2.0, but is not limited thereto.
[0064] In some embodiments, the work function of the first TCO layer 51 is less than or equal to the work function of the second TCO layer 52.
[0065] In some embodiments, preferably, the work function of the first TCO layer 51 is greater than the work function of the second TCO layer 52.
[0066] Since the work function of the first TCO layer 51 is greater than that of the second TCO layer 52, the contact resistance between the composite TCO layer 5 and the doped semiconductor (first doped layer 22 / second doped layer 42) and the metal electrode can be further reduced, thereby reducing the resistance loss during the current transmission process inside the battery, thus achieving lower series resistance and higher fill factor, and further improving the battery conversion efficiency.
[0067] In this invention, by combining the refractive index setting of the first TCO layer 51 and the second TCO layer 52 with the work function setting, the short-circuit current of the battery can be effectively increased, the series resistance can be reduced, and the fill factor can be improved, thereby effectively improving the battery conversion efficiency.
[0068] In some embodiments, the work function of the first TCO layer 51 is 4.0 eV to 5.0 eV, and the work function of the second TCO layer 52 is 3.5 eV to 4.5 eV.
[0069] By adjusting the work function of the first TCO layer 51 and the work function of the second TCO layer 52, band alignment can be promoted, carrier recombination can be reduced, and the contact resistance between the recombination TCO layer 5 and the doped semiconductor (first doped layer 22 / second doped layer 42) and the metal electrode can be reduced, thereby reducing the resistance loss during the current transmission process inside the battery, thus achieving lower series resistance and higher fill factor, and improving battery conversion efficiency.
[0070] For example, the work function of the first TCO layer 51 is 4.0 eV, 4.05 eV, 4.1 eV, 4.15 eV, 4.2 eV, 4.25 eV, 4.3 eV, 4.35 eV, 4.4 eV, 4.45 eV, 4.5 eV, 4.55 eV, 4.6 eV, 4.65 eV, 4.7 eV, 4.75 eV, 4.8 eV, 4.85 eV, 4.9 eV or 5.0 eV, but not limited thereto.
[0071] For example, the work function of the second TCO layer 52 is 3.5 eV, 3.55 eV, 3.58 eV, 3.4 eV, 3.45 eV, 3.48 eV, 3.5 eV, 3.55 eV, 3.58 eV, 3.6 eV, 3.65 eV, 3.68 eV, 3.7 eV, 3.75 eV, 3.77 eV, 3.8 eV, 3.85 eV, 3.88 eV, 3.9 eV, 3.95 eV, 3.98 eV, 4.0 eV, 4.05 eV, 4.1 eV, 4.15 eV, 4.2 eV, 4.25 eV, 4.3 eV, 4.35 eV, 4.4 eV, 4.45 eV, 4.48 eV or 4.5 eV, but not limited thereto.
[0072] In some embodiments, the ratio between the work function of the first TCO layer 51 and the work function of the second TCO layer 52 is 1:0.8-0.9.
[0073] The difference between the work function of the first TCO layer 51 and the work function of the second TCO layer 52 should not be too large. When the difference is too large, it is easy to cause the contact potential difference at the interface to increase, hinder the transport of carriers, increase the non-radiative recombination, and affect the conversion efficiency.
[0074] For example, the ratio between the work function φ1 of the first TCO layer 51 and the work function φ2 of the second TCO layer 52 (i.e. φ1 / φ2) is 1:0.8, 1:0.82, 1:0.85, 1:0.88 or 1:0.9, but not limited thereto.
[0075] In some embodiments, preferably, the work function of the first TCO layer 51 is 4.4 eV-5.0 eV, and the work function of the second TCO layer 52 is 4.0 eV-4.5 eV.
[0076] By adjusting the work function of the first TCO layer 51 and the work function of the second TCO layer 52, the composite TCO layer 5 can form good contacts with the doped semiconductor (the first doped layer 22 / the second doped layer 42) and the metal electrode respectively, further reduce the contact resistance between the composite TCO layer 5 and the doped semiconductor (the first doped layer 22 / the second doped layer 42) and the metal electrode, reduce the resistance loss in the process of current transmission inside the battery, and the matching degree between the work function of the first TCO layer 51 and the work function of the second TCO layer 52 is higher, which can reduce the non-radiative recombination of carriers at the interface, thereby realizing lower series resistance and higher fill factor.
[0077] For example, the work function of the first TCO layer 51 is 4.4 eV, 4.42 eV, 4.45 eV, 4.48 eV, 4.5 eV, 4.52 eV, 4.55 eV, 4.58 eV, 4.6 eV, 4.62 eV, 4.65 eV, 4.68 eV, 4.7 eV, 4.72 eV, 4.75 eV, 4.78 eV, 4.8 eV, 4.82 eV, 4.85 eV, 4.88 eV, 4.9 eV, 4.92 eV, 4.95 eV, 4.98 eV or 5.0 eV, but not limited thereto.
[0078] For example, the work function of the second TCO layer 52 is 4.0 eV, 4.02 eV, 4.05 eV, 4.08 eV, 4.1 eV, 4.12 eV, 4.15 eV, 4.18 eV, 4.2 eV, 4.22 eV, 4.25 eV, 4.28 eV, 4.3 eV, 4.32 eV, 4.35 eV, 4.38 eV, 4.4 eV, 4.42 eV, 4.45 eV, 4.48 eV or 4.5 eV, but not limited thereto.
[0079] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first TCO layer 51 is 10 nm to 100 nm, and the thickness of the second TCO layer 52 is 30 nm to 150 nm.
[0080] By adjusting the thickness of the first TCO layer 51 and the second TCO layer 52, the spectral absorption characteristics of the composite TCO layer 5 as a whole are regulated, so that it has a better back reflection effect for long-wave band, further increasing the light utilization rate of the battery.
[0081] For example, the thickness of the first TCO layer 51 is 10 nm, 15 nm, 20 nm, 25 nm, 28 nm, 30 nm, 32 nm, 35 nm, 38 nm, 40 nm, 42 nm, 45 nm, 48 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 88 nm, 90 nm, 92 nm, 95 nm, 98 nm or 100 nm, but not limited thereto.
[0082] For example, the thickness of the second TCO layer 52 is 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm, 105 nm, 110 nm, 115 nm, 120 nm, 125 nm, 128 nm, 130 nm, 135 nm, 138 nm, 140 nm, 145 nm, 148 nm or 150 nm, but not limited thereto.
[0083] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first TCO layer 51 is less than the thickness of the second TCO layer 52.
[0084] By adjusting the thickness of the first TCO layer 51 and the second TCO layer 52, the back reflection effect of the composite TCO layer on long-wave band is increased.
[0085] In some embodiments, the material of the first TCO layer 51 and / or the second TCO layer 52 is any one of ITO, IWO and AZO.

[0088] By arranging the tunneling passivation layer 21 between the silicon substrate 1 and the first doped layer 22 made of polysilicon, and arranging the passivation contact layer 41 between the silicon substrate 1 and the second doped layer 42 made of amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon, the interface recombination loss is effectively reduced, the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor of the cell are improved, and the cell conversion efficiency is further improved. Compared with the second doped layer made of polysilicon, the second doped layer 42 made of amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon has better passivation effect on the textured structure and lower contact resistivity with the composite TCO layer 5, thereby achieving lower series resistance and higher fill factor and further improving the cell conversion efficiency.
[0089] In some embodiments, the light-receiving surface of the silicon substrate 1 is sequentially provided with a front passivation layer 71 and a front anti-reflection layer 72 in a direction away from the silicon substrate 1, wherein the material of the front passivation layer 71 is amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon, and the thickness is 3 nm to 15 nm.

By combining the mask layer 3 with the wet chemical process, the high-energy laser is avoided from directly acting on the first doped layer 22, effectively avoiding the short circuit risk of the PN area (positive and negative electrodes) inside the battery.
