AI Technical Summary
Poor passivation of back-contact solar cells leads to low cell efficiency. This is mainly because the passivation contact structure of the P-region and N-region is a combination of a single-layer doped polycrystalline silicon layer and a single-layer passivation layer, which allows impurities to easily diffuse into the silicon substrate.
A multi-layer passivation contact structure is adopted, including a combination of a first passivation layer, a first doped polysilicon layer, a barrier layer, and a second doped polysilicon layer in the P region and the N region, respectively. By adjusting the concentration and thickness of the dopant, the diffusion of impurities is reduced, the passivation effect is enhanced, and the sunlight utilization rate is improved by increasing the light transmittance of the P region.
It significantly improves the passivation effect and cell efficiency of back-contact solar cells, reduces impurity diffusion, enhances the utilization of sunlight, and improves the conversion efficiency of the cells.

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications
[0002] The present disclosure refers to the Chinese Patent Application No. 202411087630.7 entitled "Back contact solar cell, cell assembly and photovoltaic system" filed on August 8, 2024, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into the present disclosure. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a back contact solar cell, a cell assembly and a photovoltaic system. BACKGROUND
[0004] The back contact solar cell is designed with positive / negative electrodes on the back of the cell. Compared with the bifacial solar cell, the front surface of the back contact solar cell completely avoids the shading of the metal grid lines, eliminates the optical loss caused by the shading of the metal grid lines, and can greatly improve the conversion efficiency of the cell.
[0005] In the related art, the back surface of the silicon substrate of the back contact solar cell is alternately provided with a P region and an N region, and the P region and the N region are respectively provided with a passivation contact structure; wherein the passivation contact structure of the P region is a combination of a single-layer P-type doped polysilicon layer and a single-layer passivation layer, and the passivation contact structure of the N region is also a combination of a single-layer N-type doped polysilicon layer and a single-layer passivation layer. However, since the passivation contact structures of the P region and the N region of the back contact solar cell are both combinations of a single-layer doped polysilicon layer and a single-layer passivation layer, impurities introduced in the preparation process of the back contact solar cell are easy to diffuse into the inside of the silicon substrate, resulting in poor passivation effect of the solar cell and affecting the efficiency of the solar cell.

[0063] Example one
[0064] Please refer to FIG. 1, the present embodiment provides a back contact solar cell, which comprises:
[0065] A silicon substrate 1 has a P-region 11 and an N-region 12 disposed on its back side 101.
[0066] The first passivation contact structure 2 is provided in the P region 11. The first passivation contact structure 2 includes a first passivation layer 21, a first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22, a first barrier layer 23, and a second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24, which are sequentially stacked on the back side of the silicon substrate 1.
[0067] The second passivation contact structure 3 is provided in the N region 12. The second passivation contact structure 3 includes a second passivation layer 31, a first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32, a second barrier layer 33, and a second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34, which are sequentially stacked on the back side of the silicon substrate 1.
[0068] The doping concentration of the P-type dopant in the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 is greater than that in the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24, and the doping concentration of the N-type dopant in the first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32 is less than that in the second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34.
[0069] In this embodiment, the doping concentration of the P-type dopant is the average or peak value of the P-type dopant concentration, and the doping concentration of the N-type dopant is the average or peak value of the N-type dopant concentration, where the peak value is the maximum doping concentration value. In this embodiment, when comparing the doping concentrations of P-type and N-type dopant, the average doping concentration or the peak doping concentration is used for comparison. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the average doping concentration of the P-type dopant in any region of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 is greater than the average doping concentration of the P-type dopant in any region of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24; the average doping concentration of the N-type dopant in any region of the first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32 is less than the average doping concentration of the N-type dopant in any region of the second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34.
[0070] In other embodiments, the peak doping concentration of the P-type dopant in any region of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 is greater than the peak doping concentration of the P-type dopant in any region of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24; and the peak doping concentration of the N-type dopant in any region of the first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32 is less than the peak doping concentration of the N-type dopant in any region of the second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34.
[0071] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the silicon substrate 1 is a P-type silicon substrate 1, and in other embodiments, the silicon substrate 1 is an N-type silicon substrate 1. The back surface 101 of the silicon substrate 1 is the back light surface of the back contact solar cell, and the front surface 102 of the silicon substrate 1 is the light surface of the back contact solar cell. The back surface 101 of the silicon substrate 1 is provided with a plurality of P regions 11 and a plurality of N regions 12, and the P regions 11 and the N regions 12 are alternately and spacedly arranged. The adjacent P regions 11 and the N regions 12 are provided with an isolation region 13. In some embodiments, the isolation region 13 is a groove, and in other embodiments, the isolation region 13 is a gap.
[0072] The first passivation contact structure 2 of the P region 11 of the back contact solar cell provided by the present disclosure includes a first passivation layer 21, a first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22, a first barrier layer 23, and a second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24 which are sequentially stacked on the surface of the silicon substrate 1. The second passivation contact structure 3 of the N region 12 includes a second passivation layer 31, a first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32, a second barrier layer 33, and a second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34 which are sequentially stacked on the surface of the silicon substrate 1. The first passivation contact structure 2 blocks the impurity from diffusing into the silicon substrate 1 by the first passivation layer 21 and the first barrier layer 23, and the second passivation contact structure 3 blocks the impurity from diffusing into the silicon substrate 1 by the second passivation layer 31 and the second barrier layer 33. Therefore, the impurity diffusion into the silicon substrate 1 can be reduced, and the excessive impurity diffusion into the silicon substrate 1 can be avoided. The passivation effect of the back contact solar cell can be obviously improved, and the cell efficiency can be improved.
[0073] In addition, the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 is greater than the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24, and the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32 is less than the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34. Under the premise that the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 is unchanged, the light transmittance of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24 of the P region 11 can be increased by reducing the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24, the light transmittance is increased, and the utilization rate of the back contact solar cell to sunlight is improved, and the cell efficiency is further improved.
[0074] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the P-type dopant is specifically boron or gallium, and the N-type dopant is specifically phosphorus or arsenic. In other embodiments, the P-type dopant is boron, and the N-type dopant is phosphorus. In actual applications, the doping concentration of the P-type dopant is the doping concentration of the activated P-type dopant, and the doping concentration of the N-type dopant is the doping concentration of the activated N-type dopant. The doping concentrations of the activated P-type dopant and the activated N-type dopant are measured by using a spreading resistance profile (SRP) or an electrochemical capacitance-voltage method (ECV). Of course, in other embodiments, the doping concentration of the P-type dopant is the sum of the doping concentration of the activated P-type dopant and the doping concentration of the unactivated P-type dopant, and the doping concentration of the N-type dopant is the sum of the doping concentration of the activated N-type dopant and the doping concentration of the unactivated N-type dopant. The doping concentrations are measured by using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).
[0075] In actual applications, after the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24 is prepared, high-temperature oxidation is performed on the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24 to form an oxide layer. In some embodiments, the oxide layer is borosilicate glass. The oxide layer is used to extract part of the P-type dopant inside the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24, and then the oxide layer is removed, so that the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 is greater than the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24.

[0079] The ratio of the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 to the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the ratio of the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 to the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24 can be 1.01, or 1.20, or 1.25, or 1.28, or 1.30, or 1.32, or 1.37, or 1.40, or 1.45, or 1.50, or 1.52, or 1.56, or 1.60, or 1.65, or 1.70, or 1.78, or 1.80, or 1.84, or 1.90, or 1.95, or 2.0.

For example, the P-type dopant is boron, the doping concentration of the P-type dopant of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 and the doping concentration of the boron atoms of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24 are 3x10 19 -15x10 19 atoms / cm 3 , and the doping concentration of the boron atoms of the first P-type doped polysilicon layer 22 is greater than the doping concentration of the boron atoms of the second P-type doped polysilicon layer 24.

[0084] The ratio of the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32 to the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34 can be set according to actual needs, and the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32 is less than the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34. Of course, in some other embodiments, the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32 can also be equal to the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34. For example, the ratio of the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the first N-type doped polysilicon layer 32 to the doping concentration of the N-type dopant of the second N-type doped polysilicon layer 34 can be 0.50, or 0.52, or 0.61, or 0.65, or 0.68, or 0.70, or 0.78, or 0.80, or 0.86, or 0.90, or 0.94, or 1.
