[0015] Further, there is provided a method for producing a low-cost contact passivation all back contact solar cell, wherein the sintering temperature described in step S11 is 700 to 900°C.

[0016] A low-cost contact passivated all back contact solar cell, characterized in that the low-cost contact passivated all back contact solar cell is manufactured by the above manufacturing method, and the manufactured all back contact solar cell includes: a P-type monocrystalline silicon wafer, a front surface passivation film layer located on a front surface of the P-type monocrystalline silicon wafer, a polycrystalline silicon thin film layer located on a back surface of the P-type monocrystalline silicon wafer, an Al-BSF layer, a back surface passivation film layer, a first electrode located under the polycrystalline silicon thin film layer, and a second electrode located under the Al-BSF layer.

[0017] Specifically, the fabrication method for the low-cost contact-passivated full back contact solar cell described in the present invention includes the following specific steps:

[0018] In S1, a P-type single crystal silicon wafer is used as a silicon substrate, and the silicon substrate is subjected to an alkaline polishing process. The chemical used for the alkaline polishing is a 15 to 30 wt % KOH solution, and the process temperature is 75 to 85°C.

[0019] In S2, after alkaline polishing, high-cleanliness RCA cleaning and HF cleaning are performed.

[0020] S3 grows a three-in-one multilayer thin film on the back side of the silicon wafer, which is composed of a tunnel silicon oxide thin film layer, an in-situ doped amorphous silicon thin film layer (TopCon layer), and a texturing mask layer, of which the TopCon layer can be deposited using a deposition process with in-situ doping of phosphane+silane+hydrogen gas, and the texturing mask layer can be flexibly selected between thin films such as silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or silicon nitride based on the subsequent process, and the function of the texturing mask layer is to resist the corrosion of potassium hydroxide (KOH) or tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution during the subsequent double-sided texturing process.

[0021] S4 then performs annealing activation on the amorphous silicon thin film, the purpose of which is to activate the in-situ doped phosphorus atoms and simultaneously convert the amorphous silicon thin film layer deposited by PECVD into a polycrystalline silicon thin film layer, and in the high temperature process, hydrogen atoms in the thin film layer are converted into SiO 2 The Si / Si interface is diffused to saturate the surface dangling bonds and increase the passivation effect. This step can be carried out using a tube-type oxidation furnace, and the process temperature is 700 to 900°C.

[0022] S5 laser etches the above-mentioned texturing mask layer on the backside of the silicon wafer, using a laser to groove a certain area (the BSF area) on the backside of the cell silicon wafer, and ablate and remove a portion of the texturing mask layer deposited in step S3.

[0023] S6 then performs double-sided alkaline texturing on the silicon wafer, in which the polycrystalline silicon thin film layer deposited in step S3 is protected by a texturing mask layer to form a textured structure of front surface pyramids and back surface BSF pyramids. Before texturing, the silicon wafer needs to be pre-cleaned with HF to remove the oxide layer formed on the surface of the silicon wafer and reduce the impact on the uniformity of the texturing.

[0024] In step S7, after texturing, HF cleaning is performed to completely remove the texturing mask layer remaining on the rear surface of the silicon wafer.

[0025] S8 uses a double-sided deposition ALD tube or plate system to simultaneously deposit a thin aluminum oxide film on both the front and back sides of the silicon wafer. The negatively charged aluminum oxide (AlOx) can form a good field passivation effect on P-type Si, but the TopCon layer is not affected.

[0026] In step S9, a silicon nitride passivation film or a silicon nitride / silicon oxynitride laminated passivation film is deposited on the front and back surfaces of the silicon wafer.

[0027] S10 laser ablates a portion of the aluminum oxide thin film and a portion of the silicon nitride passivation film or silicon nitride / silicon nitride oxide stacked passivation film on the back surface of the silicon wafer, i.e., a groove cutting process is performed on a certain area (BSF area) on the back surface of the cell using a laser, and ablates a portion of the AlOx / SiNx / SiONx film layer deposited in step S9, in preparation for direct contact between the Al slurry electrode and the Si surface, forming an Al-BSF layer in the sintering process.

[0028] In step S11, the back surface of the silicon wafer is screen-printed and sintered. Silver paste is used for the contact passivation area and aluminum paste is used for the back surface area. Specifically, Ag electrodes and Al electrodes are screen-printed in the TopCon area and the BSF area, respectively. The final sintering process is performed using a general sintering furnace in the PERC production line, and the peak temperature is controlled to 700-900°C.

[0029] Beneficial Effects of the Invention: (1) The manufacturing method of the low-cost contact passivation all back contact solar cell designed by the present invention can be used to make relatively few upgrade modifications to the conventional PREC cell manufacturing line, and can produce solar cells with better cost performance and higher efficiency. The P-type all back contact solar cell of the present invention has the advantages of good process compatibility, high photoelectric conversion efficiency, and low manufacturing cost, and is of great significance for promoting the mass production of low-cost, high-performance solar cells.

[0030] (2) The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a low-cost contact passivated all back contact solar cell, which uses PECVD to deposit a tunnel oxide layer, a polysilicon thin film layer, and a texturing mask layer on one side, and utilizes conventional equipment in the PERC production line such as laser SE, laser groove and diffusion oxidation, and print sintering, thereby maximally retaining conventional PERC equipment while reducing the cost per watt and improving efficiency.

[0031] (3) The low-cost contact passivation full back electrode solar cell manufacturing method provided by the present invention makes full use of the characteristics of one-sided coating of PECVD and the flexible growth of various thin films in a single cavity, and completes the contact passivation structure film layer and the mask film layer of the full back electrode cell in one process step, effectively reducing the process steps, reducing the consumption of silver paste, and improving the cell efficiency.

[0032] (4) The process for depositing multi-layer thin film on the backside of silicon wafer designed by the present invention is a one-step method, which is superior; in the prior art, the deposition of tunnel silicon oxide thin film, intrinsic polycrystalline silicon thin film, and silicon nitride thin film needs to be completed by different equipment, so the battery needs more automated operations such as loading and unloading during the manufacturing process, which greatly affects the manufacturing yield. In addition, the prior art process is completed in stages, and the battery needs more thermal processes and heating / cooling processes, which also affects the battery efficiency; however, the present invention adopts a three-in-one multi-layer thin film deposition process, which is a one-step method, and can overcome these problems of the prior art process.

[0043] In step S7, after the texturing, 5 to 20 wt % HF cleaning is performed to completely remove the texturing mask layer remaining on the rear surface of the silicon wafer.
