The present disclosure provides a
solar cell and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of solar cells. The back surface of the
solar cell has a
passivation contact structure only at the position corresponding to the non-metallic region. The
passivation contact structure forms an
etching step with an inclination angle of 40-60 degrees at the position where the metallic region and the non-metallic region meet. The
etching step with the above inclination angle can make the transition between the non-metallic region and the metallic region smoother than the vertical
etching step, and is more conducive to the uniformity of the subsequent
passivation film layer and the transportation of back surface carriers, thereby improving the passivation level of the
solar cell. The preparation of the solar
cell comprises: double-sided texturing,
boron diffusion and oxidation, BSG removal and alkali etching, LPCVD and
phosphorus diffusion, and back surface patterning of the N-type
silicon substrate; removing the PSG on the front surface of the N-type
silicon substrate, using an alkali solution and a specific anti-plating additive for RCA cleaning, and removing the tunneling
oxide layer and the doped polysilicon layer on the back surface of the N-type
silicon substrate corresponding to the metallic region.
