[0001] Priority information
[0002] This application claims priority and benefits of patent applications with patent application numbers 202311786045.1 and 202323525988.7 filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on December 22, 2023, and the entire text of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of solar cell wafers, and in particular to a back-contact solar cell, a cell assembly and a photovoltaic system. Background Art
[0004] Solar cell power generation is a sustainable source of clean energy. It uses the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor pn junction to convert sunlight into electrical energy.
[0005] In solar cells, a back-contact solar cell is one in which both the emitter and base contact electrodes are placed on the back side (non-light-receiving side) of the cell. This leaves the light-receiving side unobstructed by any metal electrodes, effectively increasing the cell's short-circuit current. Back-contact solar cells typically begin with a P-type doped layer formed on the back side, followed by trenching and forming an N-type doped layer. Further trenching is then performed to separate the P-type and N-type doped layers, followed by the preparation of fine grids and busbars.
[0006] In related technologies, the fine grid of a back-contact battery usually penetrates the passivation film layer and contacts the doping layer. In this case, the contact area between the fine grid and the doping layer is large, which easily leads to a large recombination current in the metal area and low conversion efficiency.

[0045] Example 1
[0046] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , a photovoltaic system 1000 in an embodiment of the present application may include a battery assembly 200 in an embodiment of the present application. The battery assembly 200 in an embodiment of the present application may include several back-contact solar cells 100 in an embodiment of the present application. The multiple back-contact solar cells 100 in the battery assembly 200 may be serially connected together via welding ribbons to form a battery string. The individual battery strings in the battery assembly 200 may be connected in series, in parallel, or in a combination of series and parallel to achieve current bus output. For example, bus bars may be used to connect the individual battery strings.
[0047] 3-5 , the back-contact solar cell 100 in the embodiment of the present application may include a silicon substrate 10 , a plurality of first polarity doped layers 20 , a plurality of second polarity doped layers 30 , a back passivation film layer 40 , a plurality of first fine gates 50 , a plurality of second fine gates 60 and a third polarity doped layer 70 .
[0048] A plurality of first polarity doped layers 20 and a plurality of second polarity doped layers 30 are stacked on the back side 11 of the silicon substrate 10 and are alternately arranged in sequence along a first direction. The first polarity doped layers 20 and the second polarity doped layers 30 both extend along a second direction, which intersects the first direction. Specifically, the first direction and the second direction may preferably be the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction of the back-contact solar cell 100, respectively, and the two directions are perpendicular to each other. Of course, in other embodiments, the first direction and the second direction may also be directions other than the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction, as long as they intersect. For example, the first direction and the second direction may be diagonal directions of the back-contact solar cell 100, and this is not limited to this.
[0049] The backside passivation film layer 40 is stacked on the first polarity doped layer 20 and the second polarity doped layer 30. The first fine gate 50 is correspondingly disposed on the first polarity doped layer 20 and is used to collect current from the first polarity doped layer 20. The second fine gate 60 is correspondingly disposed on the second polarity doped layer 30 and is used to collect current from the second polarity doped layer 30. In other words, the first fine gate 50 and the second fine gate 60 also extend along the second direction.
[0050] As shown in FIG3 and FIG4 , in the second direction, a plurality of third polarity doped layers 70 are arranged at intervals below the first fine gate 50. The third polarity doped layers 70 are located between the back passivation film 40 and the first polarity doped layer 20. The first fine gate 50 is made of a burn-through paste. The polarity of the third polarity doped layer 70 is opposite to that of the first polarity doped layer 20.
[0051] In the second direction, at a position corresponding to the third polarity doped layer 70, the first fine gate 50 burns through the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the third polarity doped layer 70. Between two adjacent third polarity doped layers 70, the first fine gate 50 burns through the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the first polarity doped layer 20. The second fine gate 60 at least partially penetrates the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the second polarity doped layer 30.
[0052] The third polarity doped layer 70 is formed by partially removing the wrap-around layer formed on the first polarity doped layer 20 during the formation of the second polarity doped layer 30. This removal can be performed using conventional etching methods such as acid etching, alkaline etching, and laser etching. (It should be noted that FIG4 is a cross-sectional view of the first fine gate 50 along the second direction. At this location, the back passivation film 40 is substantially completely ablated. Therefore, the back passivation film 40 is not shown in FIG3 ).
[0053] In the back-contact solar cell 100, battery assembly 200 and photovoltaic system 1000 in the embodiments of the present application, the back side 11 of the silicon substrate 10 is stacked with a plurality of first polarity doping layers 20 and second polarity doping layers 30 that are alternately spaced in sequence along the first direction. The first polarity doping layers 20 and the second polarity doping layers 30 both extend along the second direction. The first fine gate 50 is arranged corresponding to the first polarity doping layer 20, and the second fine gate 60 is arranged corresponding to the second polarity doping layer 30. The first fine gate 50 is made of a burn-through slurry. In the second direction, a number of spaced third polarity doping layers 70 are provided below the first fine gate 50. The third polarity doping layer 70 is located between the back passivation film layer 40 and the first polarity doping layer 20. At the position corresponding to the third polarity doping layer 70, the first fine gate 50 burns through the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the third polarity doping layer 70. Between two adjacent third polarity doping layers 70, the first fine gate 50 burns through the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the first polarity doping layer 20. The second fine gate 60 at least partially penetrates the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the second polarity doping layer 30. In this way, in the process of using the burn-through paste to make the first fine grid 50, the first fine grid 50 will only burn through the back passivation film layer 40 and contact the first polarity doping layer 20 at the gap between the third polarity doping layer 70, and at the position corresponding to the third polarity doping layer 70, it will only burn through the back passivation film layer 40 and contact the third polarity doping layer 70 without direct contact with the first polarity doping layer 20. In this way, selective burn-through of the burn-through paste can be achieved, which can reduce the metallization contact area between the first fine grid 50 and the first polarity doping layer 20, reduce the recombination current, and improve the efficiency of the back contact solar cell 100.
[0054] At the same time, the third polarity doping layer 70 is obtained by partially removing the winding-plated layer formed on the first polarity doping layer 20 in the process of forming the second polarity doping layer 30. In this way, there is no need to adopt other deposition means to form the third polarity doping layer 70. It can be obtained by only partially removing the winding-plated layer formed on the first polarity doping layer 20, which can save process.
[0055] It is not difficult to understand that in the traditional technical solution, a first polarity doping layer 20 is first deposited on the entire back side 11 of the silicon substrate 10. After the first polarity doping layer 20 is formed, part of the first polarity doping layer 20 is removed by etching or laser grooving to form a groove on the first polarity doping layer 20 for making the second polarity doping layer 30. Subsequently, the second polarity doping layer 30 is formed on the groove, and then a groove treatment is performed at the contact point between the first polarity doping layer 20 and the second polarity doping layer 30 to achieve isolation between the first polarity doping layer 20 and the second polarity doping layer 30, thereby forming the first polarity doping layer 20 and the second polarity doping layer 30 arranged alternately in sequence.
[0056] It can be understood that in the process of making the second polarity doping layer 30, a wrap-around layer of the third polarity doping layer 70 having the same polarity as the second polarity doping layer 30 will be formed on the first polarity doping layer 20. In the traditional technical solution, the wrap-around layer formed on the first polarity doping layer 20 needs to be completely removed, or it is not removed and the first fine grid 50 is set in a place where there is no wrap-around layer, or the first fine grid 50 is directly burned through the wrap-around layer to contact the first polarity doping layer 20. In the present application, only the wrap-around layer is partially removed, and part of the wrap-around layer is retained to form the third polarity doping layer 70. The first fine grid 50 is set above the third polarity doping layer 70 to achieve selective burning of the slurry and realize local contact between the first fine grid 50 and the first polarity doping layer 20. In this way, there is no need to adopt an additional process to form the third polarity doping layer 70, which can save process steps.
[0057] In the present application, the silicon substrate 10 can be a P-type silicon substrate or an N-type silicon substrate, the first polarity doped layer 20 can be a P-type doped layer or an N-type doped layer, and one of the first fine gate 50 and the second fine gate 60 is a P-type fine gate, and the other is an N-type fine gate.
[0058] It should be noted that, in this application, the term "burn-through paste" refers to a metal paste with strong burn-through capability, which may be a silver paste or a silver-aluminum paste, etc., and is capable of completely burning through the back passivation film layer 40 so that the first fine grid 50 can contact the first polarity doped layer 20 and the third polarity doped layer 70 below the back passivation film layer 40. For example, in one possible embodiment, the glass frit content of the burn-through paste may be higher than that of a traditional paste, thereby providing it with stronger burn-through capability.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] Please refer to Figure 6. In some embodiments, there is an insulating isolation layer 80 between the third polarity doping layer 70 and the first polarity doping layer 20. The insulating isolation layer 80 is also obtained by partially removing the plating layer formed on the first polarity doping layer 20 during the process of forming the second polarity doping layer 30. The local removal can be performed by etching methods in the existing technology such as acid etching, alkaline etching and laser etching.
[0061] Thus, the presence of the insulating isolation layer 80 can prevent the third polarity doped layer 70 from directly contacting the first polarity doped layer 20 and causing leakage.
[0062] In such an embodiment, the insulating isolation layer 80 may include at least one of a borosilicate glass layer, a phosphosilicate glass layer, and a borophosphosilicate glass layer, or a combination of multiple thereof.
[0063] Specifically, in the present application, during the deposition of the second polarity doped layer 30, a wrap-around layer having a third polarity doped layer 70 is formed on the first polarity doped layer 20. When the first polarity doped layer 20 is a P-type doped layer and the second polarity doped layer 30 is an N-type doped layer, the wrap-around layer includes a phosphosilicate glass layer and an N-type doped layer (i.e., the third polarity doped layer 70) stacked on the phosphosilicate glass layer. In this way, the insulating isolation layer 80 and the third polarity doped layer 70 can be obtained by only partially removing the wrap-around layer, and the phosphosilicate glass layer serves as the insulating isolation layer 80, while the N-type doped layer serves as the third polarity doped layer 70.
[0064] When the first polarity doping layer 20 is an N-type doping layer and the second polarity doping layer 30 is a P-type doping layer, the winding coating layer includes a borosilicate glass layer and a P-type doping layer stacked on the borosilicate glass layer. In this way, only partial removal of the winding coating layer is required to obtain the insulating isolation layer 80 and the third polarity doping layer 70, and the borosilicate glass layer is the insulating isolation layer 80, and the P-type doping layer is the third polarity doping layer 70.
[0065] Of course, it is understandable that in the process of forming the first polarity doped layer 20, a phosphosilicate glass layer or a borosilicate glass layer will be formed on the first polarity doped layer 20. If the phosphosilicate glass layer or the borosilicate glass layer is not removed before forming the second polarity doped layer, then a borosilicate glass layer will be formed in the process of forming the second polarity doped layer 30. In this case, the insulating isolation layer 80 is a borosilicate glass layer.
[0066] Example 3
[0067] In some embodiments, in the second direction, a ratio of a length of the first fine gate 50 in contact with the first polarity doped layer 20 to a total length of the first fine gate 50 is 30%-80%.
[0068] In this way, setting the contact length between the first fine gate 50 and the first polarity doped layer 20 within the above-mentioned ratio range can effectively reduce the metallization contact area to reduce recombination while avoiding excessive resistance caused by too small a contact area. That is, the relationship between recombination and resistance can be balanced to improve the efficiency of the back-contact solar cell 100.
[0069] Specifically, in such an embodiment, the ratio between the length of the first fine gate 50 in contact with the first polarity doped layer 20 and the total length of the first fine gate 50 can be, for example, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or any value between 30% and 80%.
[0070] Furthermore, in such an embodiment, after careful research and derivation by the inventors of the present application, it was discovered that in order to maximize the balance between metallization recombination and resistance while improving the conversion efficiency of the back-contact solar cell 100 as much as possible, the ratio between the length of the first fine grid 50 in contact with the first polarity doped layer 20 and the total length of the first fine grid 50 may preferably be in the range of 40%-60%, for example, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60% and any value between 40%-60%.
[0071] Example 4
[0072] In some embodiments, in the first direction, the width of the third polarity doping layer 70 is greater than or equal to the width of the first fine gate 50 .
[0073] Thus, by setting the width of the first polarity doped layer 20 to be greater than or equal to the width of the first fine gate 50 , the first fine gate 50 will not have any contact with the first polarity doped layer 20 in the corresponding region of the third polarity doped layer 70 , thereby reducing recombination.
[0074] Example 5
[0075] In some embodiments, the first polarity doping layer 20 may be a P-type doping layer, and the second polarity doping layer 30 and the third polarity doping layer 70 may both be N-type doping layers.
[0076] In this way, when the third polarity doping layer 70 on the P-type doping layer is an N-type doping layer, by setting the N-type doping layer on the P-type doping layer, the bonding tension between the back passivation film layer 40 and the N-type doping layer is greater than the bonding tension between the passivation film layer and the P-type doping layer. When the solder joints are subsequently set, the welding tension of the solder joints can be effectively increased, thereby effectively avoiding the detachment of the solder joints during welding and improving the reliability of welding.
[0077] Example 6
[0078] In some embodiments, the coupling tension between the first fine gate 50 and the third polarity doped layer 70 is greater than the coupling tension between the first fine gate 50 and the first polarity doped layer 20 .
[0079] In this way, the provision of the third polarity doping layer 70 can improve the stability of the first fine gate 50 and effectively prevent the first fine gate 50 from being deflected or falling off.
[0080] Example 7
[0081] In some embodiments, the bonding tension between the third polarity doped layer 70 and the back passivation film layer 40 is greater than the bonding tension between the first polarity doped layer 20 and the back passivation film layer 40 .
[0082] In this way, the bonding tension between the third polarity doped layer 70 and the back passivation film layer 40 is relatively large, which can effectively increase the tension of the solder joints provided on the back passivation film layer 40 and prevent the solder joints from falling off during welding.
[0083] Specifically, in such an embodiment, the first polarity doped layer 20 is a P-type doped layer, the third polarity doped layer 70 is an N-type third polarity doped layer 70, and the bonding tension between the N-type doped layer and the back passivation film layer 40 is greater than the tension between the P-type doped layer and the back passivation film layer 40.
[0084] Furthermore, in such an embodiment, in some embodiments, the back-contact solar cell 100 further includes a solder joint (not shown) connected to the first fine grid 50 , and the solder joint is disposed on the back passivation film layer 40 and at least partially located above the third polarity doping layer 70 .
[0085] In this way, disposing the solder joint at least partially above the third polarity doping layer 70 can increase the soldering tension of the solder joint during soldering.
[0086] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the solder joint at least partially burns through the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the third polarity doped layer 70 , and the bonding tension between the solder joint and the third polarity doped layer 70 is greater than the bonding tension between the solder joint and the first polarity doped layer 20 .
[0087] In this way, the bonding tension between the solder joint and the third polarity doped layer 70 is relatively large, and the welding tension of the solder joint during welding can also be effectively improved.
[0088] Specifically, in such an embodiment, the solder joint may be a P-type solder joint, and the paste used to form the solder joint may be the same as or different from the paste used to form the first fine grid 50 , which is not specifically limited herein.
[0089] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the projected area of the third polarity doped layer 70 on the silicon substrate 10 is greater than or equal to the projected area of the solder joint on the silicon substrate 10 , and the solder joint is completely located within the projected area of the third polarity doped layer 70 .
[0090] In this way, the solder joint is completely located in the area where the third polarity doped layer 70 is located, and the entire area below the solder joint has the third polarity doped layer 70 , which can maximize the welding tension at the solder joint, thereby ensuring the reliability of welding.
[0091] Specifically, in such an embodiment, the area of the third polarity doping layer 70 may preferably be just equal to the projected area of the solder joint or slightly larger than the projected area of the solder joint, which is not specifically limited here.
[0092] Example 8
[0093] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9. In some embodiments, in the second direction, at the position corresponding to the second fine gate 60, a plurality of barrier layers 90 are arranged between the second polarity doped layer 30 and the back passivation film layer 40. The second fine gate 60 is also made of a burn-through slurry. At the position corresponding to the barrier layer 90, the second fine gate 60 burns through the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the barrier layer 90. Between two adjacent barrier layers 90, the second fine gate 60 burns through the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the second polarity doped layer 30. The barrier layer 90 includes a phosphosilicate glass layer or a borosilicate glass layer.
[0094] In this way, by setting the barrier layer 90, during the process of manufacturing the second fine grid 60, the second fine grid 60 partially burns through the back passivation film layer 40 and contacts the second polarity doping layer 30, while at the barrier layer 90, only the back passivation film layer 40 will be burned through and contact the barrier layer 90, and there will be no direct contact with the second polarity doping layer 30. In this way, selective burn-through of the burn-through paste can be achieved, and the metallized contact area between the second fine grid 60 and the second polarity doping layer 30 can be reduced, reducing the recombination of the metallized area, thereby further improving the conversion efficiency of the back-contact solar cell 100.
[0095] Specifically, in such an embodiment, the second polarity doping layer 30 can be formed by deposition or diffusion. When the second polarity doping layer 30 is an N-type doping layer, a phosphosilicate glass layer will be formed on the second polarity doping layer 30 during the process of forming the second polarity doping layer 30. In the subsequent removal process, the phosphosilicate glass layer at the second blocking area of the second polarity doping layer 30 is retained to form the blocking layer 90, that is, the blocking layer 90 is a phosphosilicate glass layer.
[0096] When the second polarity doped layer 30 is a P-type doped layer, a borosilicate glass layer will be formed on the second polarity doped layer 30 during the process of forming the second polarity doped layer 30. In the subsequent removal process, the borosilicate glass layer at the second blocking area of the second polarity doped layer 30 is retained to form the blocking layer 90, that is, the blocking layer 90 is a borosilicate glass layer.
