The embodiment of the invention relates to the photovoltaic field, and provides a photovoltaic
cell and a manufacturing method thereof, and the manufacturing method comprises the steps: providing a substrate with a first surface and a second surface which are opposite to each other; at least performing
doping treatment on the first surface to form a doped layer with a first doped element; performing first
laser processing on a part of the
doping layer to form an activation part, wherein the residual
doping layer is a doping part; performing first
etching treatment on the first surface by taking the residual doped layer as a
dead layer so as to remove the activated part and form a first suede surface; forming a doped
polycrystalline silicon layer with a second doping element and a
silica glass layer at least on one side, far away from the doping part, of the substrate; performing second
laser treatment on at least part of the
silica glass layer to form a loose part; taking the residual
silica glass layer as a protective layer, at least carrying out second
etching treatment on the second surface to remove the loose part and the doped
polycrystalline silicon layer opposite to the loose part, and forming a second textured surface; the
laser types adopted by the first
laser treatment and the second
laser treatment are different, so that the manufacturing process is at least simplified.
