Description

Photovoltaic modules and their TBC solar cells, back structure and preparation of TBC cells Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic module and a TBC solar cell thereof, and the back structure and preparation of the TBC cell. Background Art

[0002] As energy becomes increasingly scarce, solar energy, a green, clean, and renewable energy source, is attracting significant attention. As fossil energy reserves dwindle, the economic benefits and investment value of the solar energy industry are becoming increasingly prominent. Developing the photovoltaic industry is a key initiative in achieving China's "dual carbon" goals. Photovoltaic modules are a key component of photovoltaic power generation systems. Typically, photovoltaic modules are mounted on a photovoltaic module support. Multiple photovoltaic modules supporting the modules are arranged in a predetermined array and electrically connected to form a photovoltaic power generation system. To achieve higher power generation efficiency in photovoltaic power generation systems, the utilization rate of solar radiation is often improved, for example by optimizing the structure of the photovoltaic module support.

[0003] To ensure installation stability, photovoltaic module mounting systems are primarily based on fixed mounting methods. This arrangement maintains a fixed mounting angle for the photovoltaic modules, making the installation relatively stable but preventing optimal utilization of sunlight. Furthermore, mounting methods that enable single-axis adjustment are gradually emerging, allowing the photovoltaic modules to adjust their orientation based on the sun's azimuth. However, these photovoltaic modules still face technical challenges in terms of stability and solar radiation utilization, which require improvement.

[0004] In addition, one form of solar cell that makes up the solar panel is the IBC cell (Interdigitated back contact solar cell), which is the abbreviation of interdigitated back contact solar cell. Thanks to its front-side grid-free design and the advantage of the interdigitated junction cross arrangement of the positive and negative electrodes on the back, the IBC cell is one of the most promising and efficient solar cell structures for silicon-based solar cells. In order to further improve the conversion efficiency of IBC solar cells, researchers usually combine the tunneling oxide polysilicon passivated contact (Tunneling Oxide Passivated Contact) and IBC to form a tunneling oxide polysilicon passivated contact interdigitated back contact solar cell (Tunneling Oxide passivated and interdigitated back contact), referred to as TBC cell.

[0005] However, the existing TBC battery preparation method usually involves multi-step masking and wet etching, which leads to continuous thinning of silicon wafers during the manufacturing process, resulting in performance degradation and the introduction of contamination. In particular, the doped polysilicon layer used for the interdigitated structure will overlap on the back side, and poor process control will cause leakage of the battery cell. Secondly, the boron-doped polysilicon layer needs to be thicker to meet the passivation and contact requirements. The above problems have caused TBC batteries to still have technical risks and high costs in terms of process implementation and structure.

[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0007] 1. Problem to be solved

[0008] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic module that can easily and simply adjust the azimuth and elevation angles of solar panels, thereby improving the utilization rate of solar radiation and having good stability.

[0071] According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a photovoltaic assembly is provided, comprising a solar panel and a photovoltaic assembly bracket for supporting the solar panel; the photovoltaic assembly bracket comprises: a frame for fixing the solar panel;

[0072] a central pillar connected to the frame via a universal rotating joint;

[0073] A first support rod assembly, comprising a connecting rod and a rotating rod, one end of the connecting rod being connected to the central pillar and being rotatable in a plane Y parallel to the length direction of the central pillar, the other end of the connecting rod being hinged to one end of the rotating rod, and the other end of the rotating rod being connected to the frame via an annular guide rail slider assembly having a positioning function;

[0074] A second support rod assembly, the second support rod assembly comprising a support rod, one end of the support rod being connected to the central pillar and being rotatable in a plane X perpendicular to the plane Y, and one end of the support rod being hinged to the frame;

[0075] According to any embodiment of the photovoltaic assembly support of the fifth aspect of the present invention, the solar cell panel includes a solar cell, and the solar cell includes the solar cell provided by any embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention, or the solar cell provided by any embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present invention.

[0076] According to the photovoltaic component support described in any embodiment of the fifth aspect of the present invention, the height of the central pillar is adjustable; the length of the connecting rod is adjustable; the length of the rotating rod is adjustable; and the length of the support rod is adjustable.

[0077] According to the photovoltaic component bracket described in any embodiment of the fifth aspect of the present invention, the annular guide rail slider assembly with a positioning function includes a slider and an annular guide rail; the annular guide rail is formed around the connection between the central pillar and the frame; the rotating rod is hinged to the slider. Beneficial effects

[0078] (1) The photovoltaic assembly provided by the present invention has a central pillar connected to the frame of the solar panel via a universal rotary joint, and the support rod assembly 1 is connected to the frame via an annular guide rail slider assembly with a positioning function, which can realize the rotation of the solar panel in a direction parallel to the plane X. One end of the support rod of the support rod assembly 2 is connected to the central pillar via a sleeve bearing structure, so that the support rod assembly 2 cooperates with the support rod assembly 1 to realize the rotation of the solar panel in plane X. At the same time, the design of the hinged connection between one end of the support rod and the frame can realize the rotation of the solar panel in a direction parallel to the plane Y at the same time.

[0079] (2) The photovoltaic assembly provided by the present invention has a height of the core pillar, a length of the connecting rod of the support rod assembly 1, a length of the rotating rod, and a length of the support rod of the support rod assembly 2 that can be adjusted, thereby enabling adjustment of the height of the solar cell panel.

[0080] (3) The back contact structure of the TBC solar cell provided by the present invention has a channel isolation region with an inclined surface in the back interdigitated PN contact region, which prevents carriers from passing through the PN junction at the side, thereby avoiding the risk of short circuit and achieving the effect of suppressing leakage;

[0081] At the same time, in the area of ​​the first electrode, a multi-layer tunnel oxide layer is superimposed on a multi-layer polysilicon passivation technology, so that the passivation effect is better than the conventional single-layer passivation capability.

[0082] (4) Compared with the isolation region formed by conventional polishing grooves in the prior art (as shown in FIG19 , the cross-sectional shape of the isolation region is close to a rectangle, that is, both sides are nearly perpendicular to the surface of the silicon wafer base), the back contact structure of the TBC solar cell provided by the present invention has an isolation region with an angle of 5 to 60°, and the cross-sectional shape of the isolation region is closer to a sharp angle, and the inclination of the first inclination of the isolation region is greater than the inclination of the second side surface. Based on this, the first inclination and the angle of the isolation region can expose the side wall of the isolation region, so that the inclination of the isolation region can be effectively formed during the deposition of the surface passivation film, and at the same time, the long-wave light passing through the battery can be further reflected and refracted, so that it can be absorbed and utilized by the base silicon wafer; so that the TBC solar cell provided by the invention has the advantages of high open circuit voltage, large short-circuit current and small reverse current. Finally, the Voc and Jsc of the TBC solar cell provided by the present invention are effectively improved; at the same time, when the battery is in the reverse bias state of -15V, the dark state current can be controlled within 0.1A.

[0083] (5) The back contact structure of the TBC solar cell provided by the present invention has an isolation region whose depth is substantially consistent with the thickness of the stacked layer on the surface of the base silicon wafer. Furthermore, since the depth of the isolation region on the base silicon wafer does not exceed 0.5 μm, or even the isolation region does not form contact with the base silicon wafer, the base silicon wafer can better absorb sunlight without causing the base silicon wafer to be excessively exposed.

[0084] (6) The method for preparing a TBC solar cell provided by the present invention utilizes the difference in reaction rates of polysilicon with different doping characteristics in the first region and the second region of the base silicon wafer in an alkaline solution, and can spontaneously form a channel with an inclined surface as an isolation region during the wet texturing in step A6, thereby achieving isolation of the PN electrode and significantly reducing the difficulty of preparation.

[0085] The depth of the isolation region obtained by the method of the present invention can be basically consistent with the thickness of the stacked layer on the surface of the base silicon wafer, and since the depth of the isolation region on the base silicon wafer does not exceed 0.5 microns, or even the isolation region does not form contact with the base silicon wafer, the performance of the component product finally made of the TBC battery in terms of mechanical load can be improved, which is significantly better than the conventional polishing groove shown in Figure 20 in the current prior art (the corrosion depth of the base silicon wafer is about 2-3 microns).

[0086] (7) The preparation method of the TBC solar cell provided by the present invention is compared with the isolation area formed by the conventional polishing groove in the prior art (as shown in Figures 19 and 20, the overall shape of the isolation area is close to a rectangle, that is, both sides are nearly perpendicular to the surface of the silicon wafer base area). The velvet passivation has a differential polishing surface, and the two vertical polishing surfaces it has make it difficult to deposit a dielectric layer on its side edges, and the deposition effect of the dielectric layer thereon cannot be guaranteed. The isolation area with a polished bevel spontaneously formed by the method of the present invention can better guarantee the deposition effect of the dielectric layer thereon, such as the deposition thickness, due to its shallow depth, smooth surface, and the effect of the bevel, thereby achieving better surface passivation.

[0116] Example 2

[0117] An embodiment of the present invention provides a back contact structure for a TBC solar cell. The TBC solar cell can be applied to the solar cell panel 800 described in the present invention to form a photovoltaic module. For ease of illustration, only portions relevant to the embodiment of the present invention are shown, with reference to Figures 1, 2, and 5 to 11.

[0118] The back contact structure of a TBC solar cell provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0119] A passivation layer disposed on the back side of the base silicon wafer 100, a first dielectric layer 600 disposed on the passivation layer, and an electrode passing through the first dielectric layer 600 and in contact with the passivation layer;

[0120] The passivation layer includes a first passivation layer 200, a second passivation layer 300 having a polarity opposite to that of the first passivation layer 200, and an isolation region 400 located between the first passivation layer 200 and the second passivation layer 300;

[0121] The electrodes include a first electrode 230 and a second electrode 320, the first electrode 230 passes through the first dielectric layer 600 and contacts the first passivation layer 200, and the second electrode 320 passes through the first dielectric layer 600 and contacts the second passivation layer 300; the metal electrode includes any one or two or more of a silver electrode, a copper electrode, an aluminum electrode, a tin-clad copper electrode, and a silver-clad copper electrode.

[0122] The isolation region 400 includes a first inclined surface 410 that coincides with the cross-section of the first passivation layer 200 and a second side surface 420 that coincides with the cross-section of the second passivation layer 300. The bottom of the first inclined surface 410 and the bottom of the second side surface 420 intersect near the surface of the base silicon wafer 100 to form an intersection region 430. From the intersection region 430, the first inclined surface 410 extends outward (the outward direction is away from the back surface of the base silicon wafer 100) to the bottom of the first dielectric layer 600 (the bottom is toward the back surface of the base silicon wafer 100). The second side surface 420 extends outward to the bottom of the first dielectric layer 600. The first inclined surface 410 and the second side surface 420 form an angle of 5 to 60 degrees.

[0123] Regarding the angle of the isolation region 400, it is possible that it is the angle formed by the intersection of the extended lines of the tangent (or cut surface) of the first inclined surface 410 and the second side surface 420, as shown in Figure 21. However, it can be confirmed that the inclination of the first inclined surface 410 is greater than that of the second side surface 420. That is, as shown in Figure 22, the dotted line a is perpendicular to the surface of the base silicon wafer 100, and the angle α1 between the first inclined surface 410 and the dotted line a is greater than the angle α2 between the second side surface 420 and the dotted line a, further satisfying that the angle α1 is greater than or equal to twice the angle α2. Furthermore, the first inclined surface 410 extends outward to the point of contact with the first dielectric layer 600, and the second side surface 420 extends outward to the point of contact with the first dielectric layer 600. The vertical projection distance H between the two contact points in the direction of the base silicon wafer is 20-100 μm.

[0124] To further illustrate, the base silicon wafer 100 has a front side that faces the sun during normal operation and a back side opposite the front side. The front side is the light-receiving side, and the back side is located on the other side of the base silicon wafer 100 relative to the front side. The base silicon wafer 100 can be a P-type or N-type silicon wafer, and can be a single crystal silicon wafer or a quasi-single crystal silicon wafer. The type of base silicon wafer 100 can be selected based on actual usage requirements. Specifically, in this embodiment, the base silicon wafer 100 used is an N-type single crystal silicon wafer with a thickness of 130 μm, a resistivity of 10 ohm·cm, and a doping concentration of 4.5E14 m-3.

[0125] As shown in FIG2 , the isolation region 400 has a depth of 0 to 0.5 microns above the base silicon wafer 100. That is, the intersection 430 between the first inclined surface 410 and the first side surface 420 of the isolation region 400 does not contact the base silicon wafer 100, or the depth (position) above the base silicon wafer 100 is 0 to 0.5 microns. In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the lowest point of the intersection 430 does not contact the base silicon wafer 100. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first inclined surface 410 and the second side surface 420 of the isolation region 400 form an angle of 45°, and the angle α1 is greater than twice the angle α2. Therefore, the isolation region 400 does not contact the base silicon wafer 100.

[0126] The first passivation layer 200 includes a bottom passivation layer 210 in direct contact with the back of the base silicon wafer 100, and a top passivation layer 220 stacked on the bottom passivation layer 210 (the bottom is the side relatively close to the back of the base silicon wafer 100, and the top is the side relatively far away from the back of the base silicon wafer 100). The bottom passivation layer 210 and the top passivation layer 220 have the same polarity, and it should be noted that the bottom passivation layer and the second passivation layer contain the same doping impurities but have opposite polarities. Specifically in this embodiment, the selected base silicon wafer 100 is an N-type single crystal silicon wafer, then the bottom passivation layer and the top passivation layer 200 are both P-type, containing P-type impurities, specifically the doping concentration of boron is 5E19cm-3. The second passivation layer is N-type, containing N-type impurities, specifically the doping concentration of phosphorus is 4E20cm-3. However, it should be noted that the bottom passivation layer also contains the same doping impurities as the second passivation layer, but the concentration is only 1E19 cm-3.

[0127] The top passivation layer 220 includes a top tunneling oxide layer 221 and a top doped polysilicon layer 222; the bottom passivation layer 210 includes a bottom tunneling oxide layer 211 and a bottom doped polysilicon layer 212; and the second passivation layer 300 includes a second tunneling oxide layer 311 and a second doped polysilicon layer 312. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first electrode 230 passes through the first dielectric layer 600 to contact the top doped polysilicon layer 222; and the second electrode 3200 passes through the first dielectric layer 600 to contact the second doped polysilicon layer 312.

[0128] The "tunneling oxide layer" is mainly an ultra-thin oxide layer, which has an important influence on the properties of the passivation contact, and good contact comes from the defect-assisted tunneling mechanism or the micropores on the oxide layer. Preferably, the ultra-thin oxide layer is an ultra-thin silicon oxide layer. Regarding the formation of the ultra-thin silicon oxide layer, there are currently mainly thermal oxidation methods (including dry oxygen oxidation and wet oxygen oxidation), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods (including plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) methods, low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) methods), room temperature wet oxidation methods, etc., preferably low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) methods. In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the top tunneling oxide layer 221 has a thickness of 0.5-3nm, the bottom tunneling oxide layer 211 has a thickness of 0.5-3nm, and the second tunneling oxide layer 311 has a thickness of 0.5-3nm.

[0129] There are two main methods for forming the "doped polysilicon layer": the first is to directly deposit the doped polysilicon layer using the LPCVD method. This method can complete the deposition and doping of the polysilicon film in one step; the second is to first deposit the intrinsic polysilicon film using the PECVD or LPCVD method, and then use ion implantation, diffusion and other processes to dope it. The various doping methods have similar process effects. In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the top doped polysilicon layer 222 has a thickness of 30 to 300 nm, the bottom doped polysilicon layer 212 has a thickness of 30 to 300 nm, and the second doped polysilicon layer 312 has a thickness of 30 to 300 nm. In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the top doped polysilicon layer 222 has a thickness of 100 to 300 Å, the bottom doped polysilicon layer 212 has a thickness of 100 to 300 Å, and the second doped polysilicon layer 312 has a thickness of 100 to 300 Å. In some other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the top doped polysilicon layer 222 has a doping capacity of 3E19 cm -3 ~10E19cm -3 The doping concentration of the bottom doped polysilicon layer 212 is 3E19cm -3 ~10E19cm -3 The doping concentration of the second doped polysilicon layer 312 is 3E20cm-3 ~10E20cm -3 doping concentration.

[0130] Specifically in this embodiment:

[0131] S1. The surface of the base silicon wafer is first polished. In this embodiment, a KOH alkaline liquid reacts with the base silicon wafer 100 to remove the surface damage layer and form a polished mirror surface. However, it should be noted that this step can actually be performed using any existing method, and the various methods have similar process effects.

[0132] S2. First, a 1.5 nm thick tunneling oxide layer is formed on the back side of the base silicon wafer 100 using LPCVD, and a 130 nm thick polysilicon layer is deposited. Then, a first doped silicon oxide layer is deposited and crystallized using a diffusion process. As shown in FIG5 , a tunneling oxide layer, a doped polysilicon layer, and a doped silicon oxide layer are sequentially formed on the surface of the base silicon wafer 100.

[0133] S3. The doped silicon oxide layer in the first region 01 is removed by patterned etching or laser etching and the doped silicon oxide layer in the second region 02 is retained, as shown in FIG6 ;

[0134] S4. Using a PECVD device, a 1 nm thick silicon oxide layer, a 170 nm thick polysilicon layer, and a second doped silicon oxide layer are first thermally oxidized and grown on the surface of the base silicon wafer 100 as shown in FIG. 6 (forming a stacked multilayer structure);

[0135] Next, the stacked multilayer structure formed in this step in the second region 02 is removed by laser. The stacked multilayer structure formed in this step in the first region 01 is retained, but it is necessary to ensure that the coverage area (length) of the second doped silicon oxide layer in the first region 01 is smaller than that of the polysilicon layer in the length direction of the base silicon wafer 100, as shown in FIG. 7 .

[0136] It should also be noted that the doping impurities in the second doped silicon oxide layer are different from the doping impurities in the first doped silicon oxide layer, and the concentration of the doping impurities in the second doped silicon oxide layer is 3E20cm-3, and the concentration of the doping impurities in the first doped silicon oxide layer is 5E19cm-3. Based on this, the concentration of the doping impurities in the second doped silicon oxide layer is significantly higher than the concentration of the doping impurities in the first doped silicon oxide layer.

[0137] Subsequently, the dopant impurities in the second doped silicon oxide layer are pushed into the underlying layer through thermal propulsion, simultaneously forming an inversion in the underlying diffusion region. Simultaneously, the dopant impurities in the first doped silicon oxide layer still present in the second region are also pushed into the underlying layer, further increasing the surface concentration and crystallization of the underlying passivation layer.

[0138] Since the concentration of the dopant impurities in the second doped silicon oxide layer is significantly higher than the concentration of the dopant impurities in the first doped silicon oxide layer, upon completion of the treatment process, the polarity of the passivation layer in the first region 01 changes to a polarity opposite to that of the passivation layer in the second region;

[0139] Furthermore, because the second doped silicon oxide layer in the first region 01 has a smaller coverage area (length) than the underlying polysilicon layer along the length of the base silicon wafer 100, after this step, the polysilicon layer region underlying the second doped silicon oxide layer is converted into a doped polysilicon region, while the polysilicon layer region not underlying the second doped silicon oxide layer remains undoped, as shown in FIG8 .

[0140] Further, the bottom passivation layer and the second passivation layer in the back contact structure of the TBC solar cell ultimately contain the same dopant impurities, but have opposite polarities. As shown in Figure 5 , the bottom passivation layer and the second passivation layer are actually formed simultaneously in step S2. Therefore, the bottom passivation layer and the second passivation layer contain the same dopant impurities. Furthermore, after completing steps S3 and S4 as shown in Figures 6-8 , the polarity of the bottom passivation layer is further altered.

[0141] S5. Use KOH alkaline solution to etch the first region 01. During this process, the lower the doping concentration of polysilicon, the faster the etching reaction rate. In particular, the non-doped polysilicon region shown in Figure 8 has the characteristic of rapid corrosion. The corrosion rate of the doped polysilicon layer located at the bottom of the first region 01 is faster than the corrosion rate of the doped polysilicon layer located in the second region. Ultimately, an isolation region with a first bevel as shown in Figure 9 can be formed. This is also the reason why the inclination degree (angle α1) of the first bevel 410 is greater than the inclination degree (angle α2) of the second side surface 420. The etching meets the following conditions: the mass fraction concentration of KOH is 1.5%, the temperature is 70°C, a texturing additive with the functional characteristics of protecting the oxide layer is selected, and the reaction time is 350s.

[0142] At this time, after S1-S5 as described above, as shown in Figure 9, a bottom passivation layer 210 and the top passivation layer 220 with the same polarity are finally formed in the first region 01 (including the bottom tunneling oxide layer 211, the bottom doped polysilicon layer 212, the top tunneling oxide layer 221, and the top doped polysilicon layer 222 stacked in sequence on the back of the base silicon wafer 100); a second passivation layer with a polarity opposite to that of the bottom passivation layer 210 is formed in the second region (including the second tunneling oxide layer 311 and the second doped polysilicon layer 312 stacked in sequence on the back of the base silicon wafer 100); and an isolation region as described above is formed between the first region 01 and the second region.

[0143] Regarding the "first dielectric layer 600", it includes an oxide layer, a silicon nitride layer (SiN x layer), and one or more combinations of an amorphous silicon layer. As some examples of the present invention, the first dielectric layer can be an oxide layer of a single material, a combination of oxide layers of multiple materials and an amorphous silicon layer, or a combination of multiple layers of amorphous silicon with different refractive indices. Furthermore, the first dielectric layer can also be a silicon oxynitride layer, a silicon nitride layer, or the like. It is understood that the specific structure of the first dielectric layer 600 includes, but is not limited to, the methods listed above. The first dielectric layer can be configured accordingly based on actual usage needs and is not specifically limited here. In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first dielectric layer 600 has a thickness of 3 to 90 nm and a refractive index of 1.9 to 2.1. In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first dielectric layer 600 is preferably an oxide layer with a thickness of 3 to 10 nm and a silicon nitride layer with a thickness of 50 to 80 nm. In this case, the oxide and silicon nitride layers are arranged outward from the base silicon wafer 100, with the oxide layer in contact with the inner passivation layer and the silicon nitride layer in contact with the oxide layer. Furthermore, the oxide layer is preferably composed of one or more layers of a silicon oxide layer (SiO2 layer) and an aluminum oxide layer (Al2O3 layer); therefore, the first dielectric layer may also be a combination of the silicon oxide layer and the aluminum oxide layer in the oxide layer. The silicon nitride layer in the first dielectric layer includes a hydrogenated silicon nitride layer.

[0144] Regarding the formation of the first dielectric layer, the SiO2 layer can be prepared by thermal oxidation (including dry oxygen oxidation, wet oxygen oxidation), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) (including plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD)), room temperature wet oxidation, etc., which is prepared according to actual use needs and is not specifically limited here; the SiN xThe layer can be prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method (including plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method, low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) method) and magnetron sputtering technology, etc., which is prepared according to actual use needs. If conditions permit, it is preferred to use chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method (including plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method, low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) method) to prepare SiN film; the aluminum oxide layer can be prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, plasma assisted ALD method, pyrolysis deposition method, delocalized PECVD method, molecular beam epitaxy, deposition A1 plus oxidation method, etc., which is prepared according to actual use needs and is not specifically limited here. Among them, SiN x When Al2O3 and Al2O3 thin films are deposited, a large amount of hydrogen will be generated, which can form good hydrogen passivation.

[0145] Specifically in this embodiment: Step S6 is performed: a first dielectric layer 600 is deposited on the surface of the base silicon wafer using plasma atomic layer deposition (ALD) and plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), as shown in FIG10 ;

[0146] The first dielectric layer 600 includes a first oxide layer 610 (aluminum oxide layer) with a thickness of 5 nm and a first silicide layer 620 (hydrogenated silicon nitride layer) with a thickness of 75 nm. Finally, the refractive index of the first dielectric layer 600 is 2.05.

[0147] Step S7 is performed: as shown in FIG11 , a first silver electrode 230 and a second silver electrode 320 are printed on the back side of the base silicon wafer 100 and sintered to form an ohmic contact.

[0148] Example 3

[0149] The third embodiment of the present invention further provides a TBC solar cell. For ease of description, only the portion related to the embodiment of the present invention is shown, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 12 to FIG. 18 .

[0150] The TBC solar cell (TBC-1) shown includes: a base silicon wafer 100;

[0151] A back contact structure as described in Example 1 is provided on the back side of the base silicon wafer 100;

[0152] A second dielectric layer 500 is provided on the front surface of the base silicon wafer 100;

[0153] In principle, the composition and structure of the second dielectric layer 500 can be the same as or different from that of the first dielectric layer 600, and can be adjusted accordingly as needed. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second dielectric layer 500 is exactly the same as the first dielectric layer 600. Regarding the preparation of the TBC solar cell in this embodiment:

[0154] Step A1 is the same as step S1 in Example 1;

[0155] Step A2 is the same as step S2 in Example 1, and the structure shown in FIG12 is obtained;

[0156] Step A3: Same as step S3 of Example 1, obtaining the structure shown in FIG13 ;

[0157] Step A4: Same as step S4 in Example 1, obtaining the structure shown in FIG14 ;

[0158] Step A5: Using a single-sided film removal method, remove the hybrid structure grown on the front side of the base silicon wafer to obtain the structure shown in FIG15 ;

[0159] Step A6: Texturing the front surface of the base silicon wafer after the A5 treatment to obtain a textured structure 110 with a height of 1.2 μm as shown in FIG16 . Simultaneously, the operation described in step S5 of Example 1 is performed to obtain a back surface structure as shown in FIG16 .

[0160] Step A7: Same as step S6 of Example 1, obtaining the structure shown in FIG17 ;

[0161] Step A8: Same as step S7 of Example 1, obtaining the structure shown in FIG18;

[0162] It should be pointed out that regarding the texturing described in step A6, based on this, the reflection loss of surface light can be further reduced, the utilization rate of the base silicon wafer 100 to the incident light can be improved, thereby increasing the short-circuit current of the battery. The method of texturing can generally adopt mechanical grooving, chemical corrosion, plasma etching, etc., and finally obtain a velvet structure which includes but is not limited to alkali polishing surface, mechanical polishing surface, random pyramid shape, inverted pyramid shape, spherical crown shape, V-shaped groove shape, and morphology between the above morphologies. In addition, it can usually form an irregular hemispherical velvet texture texture during acid texturing, form a pyramid-shaped velvet texture texture during alkali texturing, or first form a pyramid-shaped velvet texture texture by alkali texturing and then smooth the pyramid spire by acid texturing. At this time, the surface morphology formed at the groove on the back side of the base silicon wafer 100 is conducive to increasing the absorption and reuse of light by the base silicon wafer 100, thereby increasing the short-circuit current density, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. In addition, based on the above, it is not difficult to see that the height of the velvet texture of the velvet structure 110 will also affect the reflectivity of the base silicon wafer 100. As for the "thickness of the base silicon wafer 100", it should be noted that reducing the thickness of the silicon wafer can effectively reduce the carrier recombination rate and thus obtain a higher open circuit voltage. However, since crystalline silicon has a low absorption coefficient of incident light, after reducing the thickness of the silicon wafer, the silicon wafer will absorb less sunlight, thereby causing a reduction in the short-circuit current of the battery. In summary, based on actual needs, corresponding adjustments can be made to the thickness of the base silicon wafer 100, the height of the velvet texture, the reflectivity, etc.

[0163] Example 4

[0164] This embodiment provides another TBC solar cell (TBC-2), where the difference between TBC-1 and TBC-2 lies only in the doping type of the silicon wafer.

[0165] Example 5

[0166] This embodiment also provides a TBC solar cell (TBC-3). The only difference between TBC-1 and TBC-3 is that the intersection region 430 of the isolation region 400 of TBC-3 contacts the base silicon wafer 100 and has a depth of 0.5 microns on the base silicon wafer 100.

[0167] Comparative Example 1

[0168] In addition, for comparison, two other solar cells are provided in this comparative example: TBC-D1, TBC-D2, TBC-D3, and TBC-D4;

[0169] The TBC-D1 cell structure is the same as the solar cell provided in Example 2 of the present invention, except that the “first passivation layer” only includes a “top passivation layer”.

[0170] The TBC-D2 cell structure is the same as the solar cell provided in Example 2 of the present invention, except that the "first passivation layer" only includes a "bottom passivation layer".

[0171] The TBC-D3 cell structure is the same as the solar cell provided in Example 2 of the present invention, with the only difference being that the "isolation region 400" is shown in FIG19. The overall shape of the isolation region 400 is close to a rectangle, that is, both sides are nearly perpendicular to the surface of the silicon wafer base, that is, it no longer has the first inclined surface 410 of the isolation region 400 shown in FIG3 of the present invention.

[0172] The TBC-D4 cell structure is basically the same as the solar cell TBC-D3 provided in the comparative example of the present invention, as shown in FIG20 , with the only difference being that the bottom surface of the isolation region 400 is approximately 2 microns deep in the base silicon wafer 100 as shown.
