The present invention relates to the field of solar cells. Disclosed is a method for preparing a TBC
solar cell having an edge wrap-around plating layer. In the present invention, an insulating
dielectric film is pre-constructed at the edge of a
silicon wafer by means of a special combined process of "direct oxidation-indirect deposition-high-temperature annealing" and "high-temperature densification +
boron doping", so that an edge wrap-around plating region is insulated and isolated from a
silicon wafer substrate. Therefore, even if the edge of a finished TBC
solar cell has a wrap-around plating layer, a wrap-around plating portion will not produce significant electric leakage. Secondly, the insulating
dielectric film also has an excellent
passivation effect, and can further passivate a side region of the
silicon wafer, thereby being conducive to improving the
electrical performance of the
cell. Finally, compared with a conventional TBC
solar cell of which the entire edge is a
pyramid textured surface, part of the edge of the silicon wafer of the present invention is a
pyramid textured surface and the remaining part of the edge of the silicon wafer is a polished surface. The silicon wafer having a textured edge is more prone to fragmentation under the action of an external force, and the polished surface is more conducive to improving the yield of the solar
cell.
