[0003] The doped layers around the back of a BC solar cell require laser printing to form alignment marks. However, laser printing introduces stress, causing stress damage to the BC solar cell and reducing its reliability. Furthermore, laser printing is expensive, increasing the overall manufacturing cost of BC cells. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a solar cell provided in an embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 1As shown, the solar cell includes: a substrate 10, which includes a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 disposed opposite to each other. A first doped layer 11 and a second doped layer 12 are alternately arranged on the first surface 101, with the first doped layer 11 separated from the adjacent second doped layer 12 by an isolation region 14. The conductivity type of the first doped layer 11 and the conductivity type of the second doped layer 12 are different. A third doped layer 13 is located on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the substrate 10, and the conductivity type of the third doped layer 13 is the same as that of the second doped layer 12. The third doped layer 13 is disposed at the edge of the solar cell.

[0041] Specifically, the substrate 10 includes a first surface 101 and a second surface 102. For example, the first surface 101 can be the back side (non-light-receiving surface), and the second surface 102 can be the front side (light-receiving surface).

[0042] A first doped layer 11 and a second doped layer 12 are alternately arranged along a first direction X on the first surface 101, and the first doped layer 11 and the second doped layer 12 have different doping types. The first direction X is the direction in which the first doped layer 11 points towards the isolation region 14.

[0043] The first doped layer 11 and the substrate 10 have different doping types, while the second doped layer 12 has the same doping type as the substrate 10, and the doping concentration of the second doped layer 12 is greater than that of the substrate 10. For example, the substrate 10 can be an N-type substrate, the first doped layer 11 can be a P-type doped layer, and the second doped layer 12 can be an N-type doped layer. Alternatively, the substrate 10 can be a P-type substrate, the first doped layer 11 can be an N-type doped layer, and the second doped layer 12 can be a P-type doped layer.

[0044] In some embodiments of this invention, the doping types of the second doped layer 12 and the substrate 10 may be different, while the doping types of the first doped layer 11 and the substrate 10 may be the same, and the doping concentration of the first doped layer 11 may be greater than that of the substrate 10. For example, the substrate 10 may be an N-type substrate, the first doped layer 11 may be an N-type doped layer, and the second doped layer 12 may be a P-type doped layer. Alternatively, the substrate 10 may be a P-type substrate, the first doped layer 11 may be a P-type doped layer, and the second doped layer 12 may be an N-type doped layer.

[0045] The third doped layer 13 can be disposed on the side of the first doped layer 11 around the first surface 101 away from the first surface 101, and the vertical projection of the third doped layer 13 on the first surface 101 can coincide with the vertical projection of the first doped layer 11 around the first surface 101. In some embodiments of the present invention, the vertical projection of the third doped layer 13 on the first surface 101 can be within the vertical projection of the first doped layer 11 around the first surface 101. The side of the first doped layer 11 around the first surface 101 away from the first surface 101 can include a plurality of spaced-apart third doped layers 13, which can be spaced along a first direction X or a second direction Y, where the second direction Y is the direction in which the first doped layer 11 extends.

[0046] The third doped layer 13 has a different conductivity type than the first doped layer 11, but the same conductivity type as the second doped layer 12. Optionally, an isolation layer (not shown in the figure) can be provided between the first doped layer 11 and the third doped layer 13 around the first surface 101. For example, the isolation layer may include a borosilicate glass layer or a phosphosilicate glass layer, etc.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, a third doped layer 13 is provided on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101. The conductivity type of the third doped layer 13 is different from that of the first doped layer 11. The third doped layer 13 can serve as an alignment mark layer, used to achieve high-precision alignment of multiple layers such as electrodes (not shown in the figure), passivation layers (not shown in the figure), and isolation regions 14 during the fabrication of solar cells. It can also be used for position calibration of processes such as doping, photolithography, and etching, and can also serve as a reference for cutting the solar cell master structure and splicing the modules. The provision of the third doped layer 13 eliminates the need for laser printing to form alignment marks around the first surface 101, thus avoiding stress and preventing stress damage to the solar cell, effectively improving the reliability of the solar cell and reducing its fabrication cost. Simultaneously, the third doped layer 13 can serve as an edge protection layer for the solar cell, effectively improving edge stress and further enhancing its reliability.

[0048] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another solar cell structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another type of solar cell provided in this embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the solar cell also includes an electrode 15, which is disposed between two adjacent third doped layers 13.

[0049] Specifically, the solar cell may also include an electrode 15. An electrode 15 may be disposed on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101. The electrode 15 is used to extract the electrical signal of the first doped layer 11. An electrode (not shown in the figure) may also be disposed on the side of the second doped layer 12 away from the first surface 101 for extracting the electrical signal. When the first doped layer 11 is an N-type doped layer and the second doped layer 12 is a P-type doped layer, the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can serve as the negative electrode of the solar cell to collect electrons from the first doped layer 11. The electrode on the side of the second doped layer 12 away from the first surface 101 can serve as the positive electrode of the solar cell to collect holes from the second doped layer 12. When the first doped layer 11 is a P-type doped layer and the second doped layer 12 is an N-type doped layer, the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be used as the positive electrode of the solar cell to collect the holes of the first doped layer 11, and the electrode on the side of the second doped layer 12 away from the first surface 101 can be used as the negative electrode of the solar cell to collect the electrons of the second doped layer 12.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third doped layers 13 located on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be spaced apart along a first direction X, where the first direction X is the direction from the first doped layer 11 to the second doped layer 12. The electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be located between the two third doped layers 13. Figure 2 As shown, the electrode 15 located between two adjacent third doped layers 13 can extend to a portion or the entire surface of the third doped layer 13 on the side away from the first surface 101. Figure 3 As shown, the electrode 15 located between two adjacent third doped layers 13 may not extend to the side of the third doped layer 13 away from the first surface 101.

[0051] Figure 4 This is a top view of a solar cell provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a top view of another solar cell provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the third doped layers 13 located on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be arranged at intervals, and the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be located between the two third doped layers 13.

[0052] With the above configuration, the solar cell can include multiple spaced-apart third doped layers 13. These third doped layers 13 can serve as alignment marker layers, used during solar cell fabrication to achieve high-precision alignment of multiple layers such as electrodes (not shown), passivation layers (not shown), and isolation regions 14. They can also be used for positional calibration during doping, photolithography, and etching processes, and serve as a reference for cutting the solar cell master structure and assembling modules. The third doped layer 13 eliminates the need for laser printing alignment markers around the first surface 101, thus avoiding stress and preventing stress damage to the solar cell, effectively improving its reliability and reducing fabrication costs. Simultaneously, the third doped layer 13 can serve as an edge protection layer for the solar cell, effectively mitigating edge stress and further improving its reliability. The multiple spaced-apart third doped layers 13 can further improve the fabrication precision of the solar cell. Figure 5 An electrode 16 is shown located on the side of the second doped layer 12 away from the first surface 101. The electrode 16 is used to extract electrical signals from the second doped layer 12. An isolation region 14 is used to insulate the first doped layer 11 and the second doped layer 12.

[0053] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another type of solar cell provided in this embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of another type of solar cell provided in this embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figures 6-7 As shown, the solar cell also includes an electrode 15, and a third doped layer 13 is located on one side of the electrode 15.

[0054] Specifically, the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be located on the side of the third doped layer 13 close to or away from the isolation region 14. The electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can also extend to a portion or the entire surface of the third doped layer 13 away from the first surface 101.

[0055] With the above configuration, the third doped layer 13 can serve as an alignment mark layer, used to achieve high-precision alignment of multiple layers such as electrodes (not shown in the figure), passivation layers (not shown in the figure), and isolation regions 14 during the fabrication of solar cells. It can also be used for positional calibration during processes such as doping, photolithography, and etching, and as a reference for cutting the solar cell master structure and assembling modules. The third doped layer 13 eliminates the need for laser printing to form alignment marks around the first surface 101, thus avoiding stress and preventing stress damage to the solar cell, effectively improving its reliability and reducing its fabrication cost. Simultaneously, the third doped layer 13 can serve as an edge protection layer for the solar cell, effectively mitigating edge stress and further enhancing its reliability.

[0056] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 7 The vertical projection of the third doped layer 13 onto the substrate 10 and the vertical projection of the electrode 15 onto the substrate 10 overlap in at least a partial area.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be located between two adjacent third doped layers 13. The electrode 15 located between two adjacent third doped layers 13 can extend to a portion or the entire surface of the third doped layer 13 away from the first surface 101, thereby causing the vertical projection of the third doped layer 13 on the first surface 101 and the vertical projection of the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 to partially or completely overlap on the first surface 101.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be located on the side of the third doped layer 13 near or away from the isolation region 14. The electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can extend to a portion or the entire surface of the third doped layer 13 away from the first surface 101. This results in a partial or complete overlap between the vertical projection of the third doped layer 13 onto the first surface 101 and the vertical projection of the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 onto the first surface 101.

[0059] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 6 The vertical projection of the third doped layer 13 onto the substrate 10 and the vertical projection of the electrode 15 onto the substrate 10 do not overlap.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be located between two adjacent third doped layers 13. The electrode 15 located between two adjacent third doped layers 13 may not extend to part or the entire surface of the third doped layer 13 away from the first surface 101, so that the vertical projection of the third doped layer 13 on the first surface 101 and the vertical projection of the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 on the first surface 101 do not overlap.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 can be located on the side of the third doped layer 13 close to or away from the isolation region 14. The electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 may not extend to part or the entire surface of the third doped layer 13 away from the first surface 101, thereby ensuring that the vertical projection of the third doped layer 13 on the first surface 101 and the vertical projection of the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface 101 do not overlap on the first surface 101.

[0062] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, Figure 8 This is a top view of another solar cell provided in this embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, at least one side of electrode 15 is provided with a plurality of spaced third doped layers 13.

[0063] Specifically, the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface can be located between two adjacent third doped layers 13 spaced apart along the first direction X, or the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface can be located on one side of the third doped layer 13. The third doped layers 13 on one or both sides of the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface can be spaced apart along the second direction Y. In some embodiments of this utility model, the third doped layers 13 on one or both sides of the electrode 15 on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface can be spaced apart along the first direction X.

[0064] With the above configuration, the solar cell can include multiple spaced-apart third doped layers 13. These third doped layers 13 can serve as alignment marker layers, enabling high-precision alignment of multiple layers such as electrodes (not shown), passivation layers (not shown), and isolation regions 14 during solar cell fabrication. They can also be used for positional calibration during doping, photolithography, and etching processes, and serve as a reference for cutting the solar cell master structure and assembling modules. The placement of the third doped layers 13 eliminates the need for laser printing alignment marks around the first surface, thus preventing stress and stress damage to the solar cell, effectively improving its reliability and reducing fabrication costs. Simultaneously, the third doped layers 13 can serve as edge protection layers, effectively mitigating edge stress and further enhancing reliability. The multiple spaced-apart third doped layers 13 can further improve the fabrication precision of the solar cell.

[0065] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, refer to... Figure 8 The third doped layer 13 is disposed in the chamfered region AA of the solar cell.

[0066] Specifically, the third doped layer 13 can be disposed in the chamfered region AA of the solar cell. The third doped layer 13 can serve as an alignment mark layer, used during the fabrication of the solar cell to achieve high-precision alignment of multiple layers such as electrodes (not shown in the figure), passivation layers (not shown in the figure), and isolation regions 14. It can also be used for position calibration during processes such as doping, photolithography, and etching, and can serve as a reference for cutting the solar cell master structure and splicing the modules. The placement of the third doped layer 13 eliminates the need for laser printing to form alignment marks around the perimeter of the first surface, thus avoiding stress and preventing stress damage to the solar cell, effectively improving its reliability and reducing its fabrication cost. Simultaneously, the third doped layer 13 can serve as an edge protection layer for the solar cell, effectively mitigating edge stress and further enhancing its reliability.

[0067] Understandably, placing the third doped layer 13 in the chamfer region AA can further reduce the difficulty of position calibration and improve the alignment accuracy.

[0068] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, refer to... Figures 1-8 The conductivity type of the first doped layer 11 is different from that of the substrate 10, while the conductivity type of the second doped layer 12 is the same as that of the substrate 10.

[0069] Specifically, the first doped layer 11 and the substrate 10 have different doping types, while the second doped layer 12 has the same doping type as the substrate 10, and the doping concentration of the second doped layer 12 is greater than that of the substrate 10. For example, the substrate 10 can be an N-type substrate, the first doped layer 11 can be a P-type doped layer, and the second doped layer 12 can be an N-type doped layer. Alternatively, the substrate 10 can be a P-type substrate, the first doped layer 11 can be an N-type doped layer, and the second doped layer 12 can be a P-type doped layer.

[0070] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, refer to... Figures 1-8 The third doped layer 13 and the second doped layer 12 are located in the same layer.

[0071] Specifically, the material and conductivity type of the third doped layer 13 and the second doped layer 12 can be the same, and the third doped layer 13 and the second doped layer 12 can be formed simultaneously. This arrangement can further simplify the fabrication process of solar cells.

[0072] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, refer to... Figures 1-8 The vertical projection area of ​​the third doped layer 13 on the substrate 10 is less than or equal to the vertical projection area of ​​the first doped layer 11 on the substrate 10.

[0073] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vertical projected area of ​​the third doped layer 13 on the substrate 10 is equal to the vertical projected area of ​​the first doped layer 11 on the substrate 10. Figures 2-8 As shown, the vertical projected area of ​​the third doped layer 13 on the substrate 10 is smaller than that of the first doped layer 11 on the substrate 10. It is understood that the smaller vertical projected area of ​​the third doped layer 13 on the substrate 10 reduces the area of ​​the leakage region, thereby reducing the risk of short circuits. The third doped layer 13 can serve as an alignment mark layer, used in the fabrication of solar cells to achieve high-precision alignment of multiple layers such as electrodes (not shown), passivation layers (not shown), and isolation regions 14. It can also be used for position calibration during processes such as doping, photolithography, and etching, and as a reference for cutting the solar cell master structure and splicing modules. The third doped layer 13 eliminates the need for laser printing to form alignment marks around the first surface 101, thus avoiding stress and preventing stress damage to the solar cell, effectively improving its reliability and reducing its fabrication cost. Simultaneously, the third doped layer 13 can serve as an edge protection layer for the solar cell, effectively mitigating edge stress and further improving its reliability.

[0074] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, Figure 9This is a top view of a first doped layer, a second doped layer, and an isolation region provided in an embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown, the first doped layer 11 and the second doped layer 12 are arranged alternately in an interdigitated manner on the first surface.

[0075] Specifically, the first doped layer 11 and the second doped layer 12 can be arranged alternately in an interdigitated manner on the first surface. The electrode on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface and the third doped layer can be arranged on the side of the first doped layer 11 away from the first surface according to the arrangement provided in any of the above embodiments of the present invention, which has the beneficial effects of the arrangement provided in any of the above embodiments of the present invention.

[0076] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of a solar cell master structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The solar cell master structure includes at least two solar cells provided in any of the above embodiments of the present invention, and a cutting channel 20 is provided between two adjacent solar cells. The third doped layer is located at the edge of the solar cell master structure.
