Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to solar cells and methods of making same, as well as to power consuming devices. [Background technology]
[0002] At present, the mainstream PERC solar cells on the market are unable to meet the demand for higher energy conversion efficiency and output, so in 2013, the concept of TOPCon high-efficiency solar cells emerged. After continuous research and development, TOPCon cells have now become a relatively mature technology that combines both cost and efficiency. The large-scale mass production of TOPCon cells is considered to have opened the first year of industrialization of N-type batteries, and it is said that it will gradually replace the mainstream position of PERC batteries in the market. Regarding the effect of backside passivation contact technology, N-TOPCon batteries are said to have a higher market value than PERC batteries, have a higher theoretical conversion efficiency than PERC batteries, and are also close to PERC batteries in price. TOPCon batteries are less susceptible to the effects of weather, and especially in terms of spectral response, they show very good response to both long waves and short waves. Compared with PERC batteries, which are limited to shortwave response only, TOPCon batteries have great potential in spectral response, can ensure continuous output of power generation, and have the advantages of low attenuation, high bifacial ratio, and low temperature coefficient, which has a significant power generation gain effect in terminal power plants.
[0003] TOPCon cell is a tunnel oxide passivation contact solar cell technology based on the selective carrier principle, which on the one hand originates from the different potential well heights of the valence band and conduction band for holes and electrons, and on the other hand originates from the different effective masses of holes and electrons. By combining an ultra-thin tunnel oxide layer with a doped polysilicon layer, electron tunneling and hole blocking are realized, and excellent chemical passivation and field passivation are realized. Conventional TOPCon cells use an N-type silicon wafer as a substrate, realize full boron diffusion on the front side, form a PN junction on the front side of the cell, and realize the splitting of excitons into electron-hole pairs by building a built-in electric field. However, in this technical background, the full boron diffusion of the cell structure, even in combination with oxidation annealing, is difficult to avoid lattice loss on the front side of the cell, which forms a large number of recombination centers, thus causing the loss of the open circuit voltage of the cell and the decrease of the photoelectric conversion efficiency, which adversely affects the cell performance.

[0037] In a specific example, the method further includes performing a first cleaning process on the substrate including the protective layer after the protective layer is manufactured and before the substrate including the first doped region is manufactured.
[0038] In one specific example, the conditions for the first cleaning treatment are such that the components of the first cleaning solution contain, by mass percentage, 1-6% of a monobasic base, 0.5-2% of a texturing additive, and 93-98.5% of a first solvent, the time for the first cleaning treatment is 150-350 seconds, and the temperature for the first cleaning treatment is 65-75°C; in one embodiment, the components contain 1.4-5% of a monobasic base, 0.9-1.5% of a texturing additive, and 93.5-98% of a first solvent, the time for the first cleaning treatment is 200-300 seconds, and the temperature for the first cleaning treatment is 65-75°C.

The first and second solvents, each of which may be independently selected, may include, but are not limited to, water, which may be understood to be deionized water.
[0041] As can be seen, cleaning here can eliminate the grating losses caused by the laser.
[0042] In one specific example, the first doped region has a surface concentration of 1.5×10 19 ~2.5×10 20 , and the sheet resistance is 60 to 150 Ω.
[0043] Furthermore, the first doped region has a surface concentration of 10 19 ~3×10 20 , the sheet resistance is 40 to 170 Ω, and preferably, the surface concentration of the first doped region is 1.5×10 19 , 3×10 19 , 4.5×10 19 , 6×10 19 , 7.5×10 19 , 9×10 19 , 1.05×10 20 , 1.2×10 20 , 1.35×10 20 , 1.5×10 20 , 1.65×10 20 , 1.8×10 20 , 1.95×10 20 , 2.1×10 20 , 2.25×10 20 , 2.4×10 20or 2.5×10 20 The sheet resistance may be, but is not limited to, 60Ω, 70Ω, 80Ω, 90Ω, 100Ω, 110Ω, 120Ω, 130Ω, 140Ω, or 150Ω.
[0044] Furthermore, in the first doped region, the diffusion temperature is 900 to 1100° C., and the diffusion time is 300 to 700 s.

[0046] Furthermore, the method for removing the protective layer includes a step of performing a second cleaning process on the substrate including the first doped region. In a specific example, the conditions for the second cleaning process include cleaning for 150 to 350 seconds using a hydrofluoric acid solution having a mass percentage of 40% to 80%, and in one embodiment, the conditions for the second cleaning process include cleaning for 180 to 300 seconds using a hydrofluoric acid solution having a mass percentage of 50% to 70%.

[0049] In a specific example, after manufacturing the passivation contact structure, the method further includes manufacturing a first passivation layer and a first anti-reflection layer laminated on the first surface, and manufacturing a second anti-reflection layer on the passivation contact structure.
[0050] Furthermore, the material of the first passivation layer may be, but is not limited to, one or more of aluminum and gallium oxide, and the material of the first anti-reflective layer and the material of the second anti-reflective layer are each independently selected from one or more of silicon nitride, a silicon oxynitride layer, and a silicon oxide layer.
[0051] Moreover, the passivation contact structure includes a tunnel oxide layer and a doped polysilicon layer stacked in sequence, with the tunnel oxide layer in contact with the substrate.
[0052] In a specific example, after manufacturing the first passivation layer, the first antireflective layer, and the second antireflective layer, the method further includes the steps of manufacturing a first electrode penetrating the first passivation layer and the first antireflective layer and connected to the first doped region, and manufacturing a second electrode penetrating the second antireflective layer and connected to the passivation contact structure.
[0053] In this application, different from the conventional process of passivated contact solar cells, a method of optimizing the first surface of the substrate for the cell structure to fabricate a localized first doped region is provided, which realizes local diffusion of the first doping source in the substrate, thereby avoiding the lattice loss on the front side of the solar cell, realizing a higher power conversion rate of the cell, ensuring the short circuit current and fill factor, reducing the loss of open circuit voltage caused by the front lattice distortion, and improving the conversion efficiency of the cell.
