Description
Heteroj unction Solar Cell and Preparation Method Thereof The present application claims priority to Chinese patent application number 201711132081.0 filed on November 15, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field The present application relates to, but is not limited to, the technical field of solar cells, in particular to, but is not limited to, a heterojunction solar cell and a preparation method thereof Background Heterojunction solar cells have the advantages of high efficiency, low temperature coefficient, no light induced degradation (LID) and potential induced degradation (PID) effects, double-sided power generation and large space for cost reduction, etc., they are considered as one of the high efficiency cells that can be produced in mass production in the next generation.
For the processing of heterojunction solar cells, the paste used for screen printing is low temperature silver paste because the process temperature requirement is lower than 200 C. But the welding tension of low temperature silver paste is relatively low, generally 1N/cm, or even lower. However, welding tension is very important to the preparation of components and the reliability of components in the later stage, the risk brought by low welding tension is that: first, cells cannot be made into components; second, even if components are made reluctantly, they may not pass the component reliability test.
The methods commonly used at present to improve the welding tension of low-temperature silver paste for heterojunction solar cells are as follows:
1. increasing the content of resin in low temperature silver paste, but the disadvantage of doing so is that the content of silver will decrease with it, resulting in an increase in the bulk resistance of the paste, and the filling factor of the cell will decrease after making the cell.

2. designing a screen printing plate with a larger size to increase the width of the main grid line, but the disadvantage of doing so is to increase the light shielding area, reduce the short circuit current of the cell, increase the dosage of the paste and increase the cost;
3. adjusting the design size of the screen-printing plate or adjusting the printing process to increase the height of the main grid line, but the disadvantage of doing so is increasing the amount of paste used, resulting in increased costs and possibly resulting in poor printing quality.

The main grid line electrode is solidified with the metal thin layer together through the action of the resin in the metal paste.
Accordingly, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode is enhanced, and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module is improved.
As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of a heterojunction solar cell, which comprises the following steps of:
S100: Depositing a first intrinsic layer on a front side of a crystalline silicon substrate, depositing a second intrinsic layer on a back side of the crystalline silicon substrate; or depositing the first intrinsic layer on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate, depositing the second intrinsic layer on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate.
In an exemplary embodiment, a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique may be used to deposit a first intrinsic layer and a second intrinsic layer on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate, respectively. The thickness range value of the crystalline silicon substrate may be 1001tm to 250m, for example, the thickness value of the crystalline silicon substrate may be 120m, 140 m, 160m, 180 m, 200[trn, 2201.Im, or 240m.
The thickness range value of the first intrinsic layer may be mm to 20nm, for example, the thickness value of the first intrinsic layer may be 4nm, 8nm, 12nm, 15nm, or 18nm. The thickness range value of the second intrinsic layer may also be mm to 20nm, for example, the thickness value of the second intrinsic layer may be 4nm, 8nm, 12nm, 15nm, or 18nm. A
thicker intrinsic layer may increase the series resistance of solar cells and simultaneously hinder the transmission of sunlight, resulting in the deterioration of short-circuit current and overall efficiency; while a thinner intrinsic layer may weaken the built-in electric field and lead to the deterioration of the open circuit voltage. Therefore, the thickness of the intrinsic layer may be appropriately controlled. In the exemplary embodiment, the thickness value of the first intrinsic layer may be 12nm, and the thickness value of the second intrinsic layer may be 12nm. The intrinsic layer of this thickness is more beneficial to improving various performances of the heteroj unction solar cell than the intrinsic layer of other thickness.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first intrinsic layer may be an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer and the second intrinsic layer may be an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer.
S200: Depositing a N-type doped silicon layer on the first intrinsic layer, depositing a P-type doped silicon layer on the second intrinsic layer.
In an exemplary embodiment, a PECVD technique may be used to deposit a N-type doped silicon layer on the first intrinsic layer and a P-type doped silicon layer on the second intrinsic layer. The thickness range value of the N-type doped silicon layer may be mm to 20nm, for example, the thickness value of the N-type doped silicon layer may be 4nm, 6nm, 8nm, I Onm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm. The thickness range value of the P-type doped silicon layer may also be mm to 20nm, for example, the thickness value of the P-type doped silicon layer may be 4nm, 6nm, 8nm, 1 Onm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm. If the thickness of the N-type doped silicon layer is too large, it may increase the series resistance of the solar cell and simultaneously hinder the transmission of sunlight, resulting in the deterioration of short-circuit current and overall efficiency. If the thickness of the N-type doped silicon layer is too small, it may not be able to form a built-in electric field with sufficient strength, resulting in the deterioration of the open circuit voltage. In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness value of the N-type doped silicon layer may be 10nm, and the thickness value of the P-type doped silicon layer may be lOnm.
In an exemplary embodiment, the N-type doped silicon layer may be an N-type amorphous silicon doped silicon layer, and the P-type doped silicon layer may be a P-type amorphous silicon doped silicon layer.
S300: Depositing transparent conductive film layers on a surface of the N-type doped silicon layer and a surface of the P-type doped silicon layer respectively.
For example, transparent conductive film layers are plated respectively on the surface of the N-type doped silicon layer and the surface of the P-type doped silicon layer by using a magnetron sputtering technique. The thickness range value of the transparent conductive film layer may be 50nm to 150nm, for example, the thickness value of the transparent conductive film layer may be 60nm, 80nm, 100nm, 120nm, 140 nm.
S400: Depositing silver thin layers respectively on the transparent conductive film layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate. A silver thin layer can be deposited on one side of the crystalline silicon substrate first, then a silver thin layer can be deposited on the other side of the crystalline silicon substrate. Or, silver thin layers can be deposited on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate at the same time. The silver thin layer may be deposited by using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, for example, the silver thin layer may be deposited by using a magnetron sputtering method in a PVD
process. In the magnetron sputtering method, the sputtering power may be 1W/cm2 to 10W/cm2, the sputtering pressure may be 0.1Pa to 0.5Pa, and the sputtering gas may be argon. In an exemplary embodiment, the sputtering power may be 2.5W/cm2, the sputtering pressure may be 0.2Pa, and the sputtering gas may be argon of high purity, thereby realizing high-speed deposition of the silver thin layer at a lower temperature.
The sputtered material may be a pure silver metal target with a purity of 4N
to 5N.
Slight interfacial plasma damage may be caused during sputtering of the silver thin layer.
In order to repair the damage, after step S400, the method may further include:
S410: Repairing the silver thin layers by using low temperature thermal injection or low temperature light injection annealing.
In order to avoid damage to the solar cell material caused by excessively high temperature during annealing, in an exemplary embodiment, the annealing temperature does not exceed 200 C, and may be 150 C.
The thickness range value of the silver thin layer may be lOnm to 200nm, for example, the thickness value of the silver thin layer may be 30nm, 50nm, 70nm, 90nm, 110nm, 130nm, 150nm, 190nm. In an exemplary embodiment, in order to enable the silver thin layer to have higher welding strength after being combined with the main grid line electrode without affecting the performance of the heterojunction solar cell, the thickness value of the silver thin layer may be 110nm. In addition, the transparent conductive film layer may be metal oxide and the silver thin layer may be pure metal. As a result, the contact resistance generated at the interface of the silver thin layer after being deposited on the transparent conductive film layer can be neglected.
S500: Forming main grid line electrodes on the silver thin layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate respectively. For example, the main grid line electrode may be formed by screen printing.
In an exemplary embodiment, after step S500, the method may further include:
S600: Forming fine grid line electrodes on non-main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate. For example, the fine grid line electrodes may be formed by screen printing.
In the exemplary embodiment, step S600 may be performed first followed by step S500, or steps S500 and S600 may be performed simultaneously.
The silver thin layer may have a certain porosity. During screen printing process, the resin in the silver paste will penetrate into the silver thin layer to solidify the silver thin layer and the main grid line electrode into a whole, thus increasing the welding tension of the main grid line electrode. The silver thin layer has better electric conductivity and do not generate adverse physical or chemical reactions with the silver paste or the transparent conductive film layer. The fine grid line electrode is conductively connected with the main grid line electrode, the fine grid line electrode is used for collecting electrons or holes generated by light excitation and transmitting the collected electrons or holes to the main grid line electrode.
Step S400 may include:
S401: Shielding the non-main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate respectively by using mask plates. This step enables a silver thin layer to be uniformly deposited on the main grid region so as to ensure that the silver thin layer and the main grid line electrode are solidified into a whole when forming the main grid line electrode by screen printing.
Before depositing a silver thin layer on the transparent conductive film layer, a mask plate can be used to shield the non-main grid region so that the silver thin layer is uniformly deposited on the main grid region. After the silver thin layer deposition is completed, the mask plate is removed, and then the main grid line electrode is deposited by a screen printing process.
S402: Depositing silver thin layers on the main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers.
Alternatively, step S400 may include:
S401': Respectively coating the photoresist on the transparent conductive film layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate and exposing main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers by a photoetching method.
S402': Depositing the silver thin layers on the main grid regions.
S403': Removing the photoresist of non-main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers. The method may further include: prior to step S100, S10: Carrying out surface treatment on the crystalline silicon substrate by a texturing process.
It can be understood that the incident light can be reflected on the surface of the crystalline silicon substrate, and the sunlight irradiated on the surface of the solar cell cannot be fully utilized, therefore, the light trapping structure may be important for the heterojunction solar cell, the crystalline silicon substrate after the texturing process can form a random pyramid structure on its surface, thus improving the utilization rate of sunlight.
S20: Cleaning the crystalline silicon substrate after the texturing process to remove particles and metal contamination on the surface of the crystalline silicon substrate.
The silver thin layer is deposited between the transparent conductive film layer and the main grid line electrode. The main grid line electrode is solidified with the silver thin layer together through the action of the resin in the silver paste. Accordingly, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode is enhanced and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module is improved.
In other embodiments provided by the present application, other metal thin layer may be used instead of the silver thin layer, for example, at least one of the silver aluminum thin layer and the nickel vanadium thin layer, and a composite thin layer of the silver thin layer and at least one of the silver aluminum thin layer and the nickel vanadium thin layer may be used. In this case, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode can also be increased, and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module can be improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness range value of the metal thin layer may be lOnm to 200nm.
In other embodiments provided by the present application, a metal thin layer may be deposited on the transparent conductive film layer on only one side of the crystalline silicon substrate, i.e., depositing a metal thin layer on the transparent conductive film layer on the front side or back side of the crystalline silicon substrate. In this case, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode can also be increased, and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module can be improved.
When a metal thin layer is only deposited on the transparent conductive film layer on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate, the main grid line electrode as an electrode layer or an electrode layer composed of the main grid line electrode and the fine grid line electrode can be directly formed on the transparent conductive film layer on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate. As a result, a double-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained. Or, a metal layer may be deposited on the entire surface of the transparent conductive film layer on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate, consequently a single-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained. The metal layer may be selected from at least one of a silver layer, a silver aluminum layer, and a nickel vanadium layer.
When a metal thin layer is only deposited on the transparent conductive film layer on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate, the main grid line electrode as an electrode layer or an electrode layer composed of the main grid line electrode and the fine grid line electrode can be directly formed on the transparent conductive film layer on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate. As a result, a double-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained.
As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a heterojunction solar cell which can be obtained by adopting the preparation method of the heterojunction solar cell provided by any embodiment of the present application. The heteroj unction solar cell comprises a crystalline silicon substrate 100, intrinsic layers 200 arranged on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, a N-type doped silicon layer 300 arranged on the intrinsic layer 200 on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, a P-type doped silicon layer 400 arranged on the intrinsic layer 200 on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, transparent conductive film layers 500 arranged on the N-type doped silicon layer 300 and the P-type doped silicon layer 400, silver thin layers 600 arranged on the transparent conductive film layers 500 on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, and main grid line electrodes 700 arranged on the silver thin layers 600 on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100.
The transparent conductive film layer may be indium tin oxide (ITO), aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO), or the like; the intrinsic layer may be an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer; the N-type doped silicon layer may be a N-type amorphous silicon doped silicon layer, and the P-type doped silicon layer may be a P-type amorphous silicon doped silicon layer.
Among them, a silver thin layer 600 is deposited between the transparent conductive film layer 500 and the main grid line electrode 700. During the process of forming the main grid line electrode 700 by screen printing, the main grid line electrode 700 and the silver thin layer 600 can be solidified together because the silver thin layer is pure metal and the material of the main grid line electrode is mainly silver. After the main grid line electrode is formed by screen printing, the silver grid line electrode formed by screen printing is dried through a drying process. The general drying process is to place the cell sheet after screen printing in a drying furnace and use the hot air of the drying furnace to make the silver grid line electrode be dried and solidified on the cell sheet. The solvent added to the silver paste of the screen printing increases the flowability of the silver paste. During the drying process, the solver is evaporated, and the resin in the silver paste generates crosslinking. This enable the solidification effect of the main grid line electrode and the silver thin layer be better, the ohmic contact of the main grid line and the cell sheet be better, the resistance be smaller, thus increasing the output power of the cell sheet.
The material of the transparent conductive film layer may be metal oxide, while the silver thin layer is pure metal. When the silver thin layer is arranged on the transparent conductive film layer, the welding bonding force between the silver thin layer and the transparent conductive film layer is larger, and the ohmic contact between the silver thin layer and the transparent conductive film layer is better, the contact resistance is smaller, even can be negligible.
Accordingly, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode 700 is enhanced and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module is enhanced.
The thickness range value of the silver thin layer 600 may be lOnm to 200nm, for example, the thickness value of the silver thin layer 600 may be 30nm, 50nm, 70nm, 90nm, 110nm, 130nm, 150nm, 190nm. In order to make the silver thin layer 600 have higher welding strength after being combined with the main grid line electrode 700 without affecting the performance of the heterojunction solar cell, in an exemplary embodiment, the thickness value of the silver thin layer 600 may be 110nm.
The thickness range value of the crystalline silicon substrate 100 may be 100 pm to 25011m, for example, the thickness value of the crystalline silicon substrate 100 may be 1201.tm, 140 ,m, 160 pm, 180 m, 200 m, 220 m, 240 ,m.
The thickness value of the intrinsic layer 200 may be mm to 20nm; for example, the thickness value of the intrinsic layer 200 may be 4nm, 8nm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm.
The thicker intrinsic layer 200 may lead to an increase in the series resistance of the solar cell while hindering the transmission of sunlight, resulting in a deterioration in the short-circuit current and the overall efficiency. The thinner intrinsic layer 200 may weaken the built-in electric field, resulting in the deterioration of the open circuit voltage. Therefore, the thickness of the intrinsic layer 200 can be appropriately controlled. In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the intrinsic layer 200 may be 12nm, the intrinsic layer 200 of this thickness is more beneficial to improving various performances of the heterojunction solar cell than the intrinsic layer 200 of other thickness.
The thickness range value of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 may be mm to 20nm; for example, the thickness value of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 may be 4nm, 6nm, 8nm, 10nm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm. If the thickness of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 is too large, it may lead to an increase in the series resistance of the solar cell and simultaneously hinder the transmission of sunlight, resulting in the deterioration of short-circuit current and overall efficiency. If the thickness of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 is too small, it may not be able to form a built-in electric field with sufficient strength, resulting in the deterioration of the open circuit voltage. Therefore, in an exemplary embodiment, the thickness value of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 may be 1 Onm.
The thickness range value of the P-type doped silicon layer 400 may be mm to 20nm, the thickness value of the P-type doped silicon layer 400 may be 4nm, 6nm, 8nm, lOnm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm, in order to ensure the light transmittance of sunlight and to form a built-in electric field with sufficient strength, the thickness value of the P-type doped silicon layer 400 may be lOnm.
The thickness range value of the transparent conductive film layer 500 may be 50nm to 150nm, for example, the thickness value of the transparent conductive film layer 500 may be 60nm, 80nm, 100nm, 120nm, 140nm.
The transparent conductive film layer 500 may be provided with fine grid line electrode for collecting electrons or holes generated by light excitation and transmitting the collected electrons or holes to the main grid line electrode. There may be a plurality of fine grid line electrodes, and a plurality of fine grid line electrodes are uniformly and more densely distributed on the transparent conductive film layer 500. The diameter range value of the fine grid line electrode may be 201.im to 60 m. In an exemplary embodiment, the diameter of the fine grid line electrode may be 35 ,m. In order to increase the distribution density of the fine gate line electrode and ensure the connection strength between the fine grid line electrode and the transparent conductive film layer 500, the output current may be increased.
The fine grid line electrode is conductively connected with the main grid line electrode, and the number of the main grid line electrode may be 2 to 6. In order to avoid waste of silver paste and enhance the bonding strength between the main grid line electrode and the fine grid line electrode, the number of the main grid line electrode may be 4. In other embodiments provided by the present application, the silver thin layer 600 may be provided only on the transparent conductive film layer 500 on the front side or back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, and the silver thin layer 600 is provided with the main grid line electrode 700.
When the silver thin layer 600 is only arranged on the transparent conductive film layer 500 on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, the transparent conductive film layer 500 on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100 can be directly provided with a main grid line electrode as an electrode layer or can be provided with an electrode layer composed of a main grid line electrode and a fine grid line electrode. As a result, a double-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained and its structure is shown in FIG. 3. Or, a metal layer may be provided on the entire transparent conductive film layer 500 on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100. As a result, a single-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained. The metal layer may be selected from at least one of a silver layer, a silver aluminum layer, and a nickel vanadium layer.
When the silver thin layer 600 is only disposed on the transparent conductive film layer 500 on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, the main grid line electrode as an electrode layer or an electrode layer composed of the main grid line electrode and the fine grid line electrode can be directly disposed on the transparent conductive film layer 500 on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100. As a result, a double-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained.
In other embodiments provided by the present application, other metal thin layer may be used instead of the silver thin layer, for example, at least one of the silver aluminum thin layer and the nickel vanadium thin layer, and a composite thin layer of the silver thin layer and at least one of the silver aluminum thin layer and the nickel vanadium thin layer may be used. In this case, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode can also be increased, and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module can be improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness range value of the metal thin layer may be lOnm to 200nm.
According to the heterojunction solar cell and the preparation method thereof provided by the embodiments of the present application, the metal thin layer is deposited between the transparent conductive film layer and the main grid line electrode. The main grid line electrode is solidified with the metal thin layer together through the action of the resin in the metal paste.
Accordingly, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode is enhanced, and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module is improved.

Accordingly, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode is enhanced, and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module is improved.
As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of a heterojunction solar cell, which comprises the following steps of:
S100: Depositing a first intrinsic layer on a front side of a crystalline silicon substrate, depositing a second intrinsic layer on a back side of the crystalline silicon substrate; or depositing the first intrinsic layer on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate, depositing the second intrinsic layer on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate.
In an exemplary embodiment, a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique may be used to deposit a first intrinsic layer and a second intrinsic layer on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate, respectively. The thickness range value of the crystalline silicon substrate may be 1001tm to 250m, for example, the thickness value of the crystalline silicon substrate may be 120m, 140 m, 160m, 180 m, 200[trn, 2201.Im, or 240m.
The thickness range value of the first intrinsic layer may be mm to 20nm, for example, the thickness value of the first intrinsic layer may be 4nm, 8nm, 12nm, 15nm, or 18nm. The thickness range value of the second intrinsic layer may also be mm to 20nm, for example, the thickness value of the second intrinsic layer may be 4nm, 8nm, 12nm, 15nm, or 18nm. A
thicker intrinsic layer may increase the series resistance of solar cells and simultaneously hinder the transmission of sunlight, resulting in the deterioration of short-circuit current and overall efficiency; while a thinner intrinsic layer may weaken the built-in electric field and lead to the deterioration of the open circuit voltage. Therefore, the thickness of the intrinsic layer may be appropriately controlled. In the exemplary embodiment, the thickness value of the first intrinsic layer may be 12nm, and the thickness value of the second intrinsic layer may be 12nm. The intrinsic layer of this thickness is more beneficial to improving various performances of the heteroj unction solar cell than the intrinsic layer of other thickness.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first intrinsic layer may be an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer and the second intrinsic layer may be an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer.
S200: Depositing a N-type doped silicon layer on the first intrinsic layer, depositing a P-type doped silicon layer on the second intrinsic layer.
In an exemplary embodiment, a PECVD technique may be used to deposit a N-type doped silicon layer on the first intrinsic layer and a P-type doped silicon layer on the second intrinsic layer. The thickness range value of the N-type doped silicon layer may be mm to 20nm, for example, the thickness value of the N-type doped silicon layer may be 4nm, 6nm, 8nm, I Onm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm. The thickness range value of the P-type doped silicon layer may also be mm to 20nm, for example, the thickness value of the P-type doped silicon layer may be 4nm, 6nm, 8nm, 1 Onm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm. If the thickness of the N-type doped silicon layer is too large, it may increase the series resistance of the solar cell and simultaneously hinder the transmission of sunlight, resulting in the deterioration of short-circuit current and overall efficiency. If the thickness of the N-type doped silicon layer is too small, it may not be able to form a built-in electric field with sufficient strength, resulting in the deterioration of the open circuit voltage. In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness value of the N-type doped silicon layer may be 10nm, and the thickness value of the P-type doped silicon layer may be lOnm.
In an exemplary embodiment, the N-type doped silicon layer may be an N-type amorphous silicon doped silicon layer, and the P-type doped silicon layer may be a P-type amorphous silicon doped silicon layer.
S300: Depositing transparent conductive film layers on a surface of the N-type doped silicon layer and a surface of the P-type doped silicon layer respectively.
For example, transparent conductive film layers are plated respectively on the surface of the N-type doped silicon layer and the surface of the P-type doped silicon layer by using a magnetron sputtering technique. The thickness range value of the transparent conductive film layer may be 50nm to 150nm, for example, the thickness value of the transparent conductive film layer may be 60nm, 80nm, 100nm, 120nm, 140 nm.
S400: Depositing silver thin layers respectively on the transparent conductive film layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate. A silver thin layer can be deposited on one side of the crystalline silicon substrate first, then a silver thin layer can be deposited on the other side of the crystalline silicon substrate. Or, silver thin layers can be deposited on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate at the same time. The silver thin layer may be deposited by using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, for example, the silver thin layer may be deposited by using a magnetron sputtering method in a PVD
process. In the magnetron sputtering method, the sputtering power may be 1W/cm2 to 10W/cm2, the sputtering pressure may be 0.1Pa to 0.5Pa, and the sputtering gas may be argon. In an exemplary embodiment, the sputtering power may be 2.5W/cm2, the sputtering pressure may be 0.2Pa, and the sputtering gas may be argon of high purity, thereby realizing high-speed deposition of the silver thin layer at a lower temperature.
The sputtered material may be a pure silver metal target with a purity of 4N
to 5N.
Slight interfacial plasma damage may be caused during sputtering of the silver thin layer.
In order to repair the damage, after step S400, the method may further include:
S410: Repairing the silver thin layers by using low temperature thermal injection or low temperature light injection annealing.
In order to avoid damage to the solar cell material caused by excessively high temperature during annealing, in an exemplary embodiment, the annealing temperature does not exceed 200 C, and may be 150 C.
The thickness range value of the silver thin layer may be lOnm to 200nm, for example, the thickness value of the silver thin layer may be 30nm, 50nm, 70nm, 90nm, 110nm, 130nm, 150nm, 190nm. In an exemplary embodiment, in order to enable the silver thin layer to have higher welding strength after being combined with the main grid line electrode without affecting the performance of the heterojunction solar cell, the thickness value of the silver thin layer may be 110nm. In addition, the transparent conductive film layer may be metal oxide and the silver thin layer may be pure metal. As a result, the contact resistance generated at the interface of the silver thin layer after being deposited on the transparent conductive film layer can be neglected.
S500: Forming main grid line electrodes on the silver thin layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate respectively. For example, the main grid line electrode may be formed by screen printing.
In an exemplary embodiment, after step S500, the method may further include:
S600: Forming fine grid line electrodes on non-main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate. For example, the fine grid line electrodes may be formed by screen printing.
In the exemplary embodiment, step S600 may be performed first followed by step S500, or steps S500 and S600 may be performed simultaneously.
The silver thin layer may have a certain porosity. During screen printing process, the resin in the silver paste will penetrate into the silver thin layer to solidify the silver thin layer and the main grid line electrode into a whole, thus increasing the welding tension of the main grid line electrode. The silver thin layer has better electric conductivity and do not generate adverse physical or chemical reactions with the silver paste or the transparent conductive film layer. The fine grid line electrode is conductively connected with the main grid line electrode, the fine grid line electrode is used for collecting electrons or holes generated by light excitation and transmitting the collected electrons or holes to the main grid line electrode.
Step S400 may include:
S401: Shielding the non-main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate respectively by using mask plates. This step enables a silver thin layer to be uniformly deposited on the main grid region so as to ensure that the silver thin layer and the main grid line electrode are solidified into a whole when forming the main grid line electrode by screen printing.
Before depositing a silver thin layer on the transparent conductive film layer, a mask plate can be used to shield the non-main grid region so that the silver thin layer is uniformly deposited on the main grid region. After the silver thin layer deposition is completed, the mask plate is removed, and then the main grid line electrode is deposited by a screen printing process.
S402: Depositing silver thin layers on the main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers.
Alternatively, step S400 may include:
S401': Respectively coating the photoresist on the transparent conductive film layers on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate and exposing main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers by a photoetching method.
S402': Depositing the silver thin layers on the main grid regions.
S403': Removing the photoresist of non-main grid regions on the transparent conductive film layers. The method may further include: prior to step S100, S10: Carrying out surface treatment on the crystalline silicon substrate by a texturing process.
It can be understood that the incident light can be reflected on the surface of the crystalline silicon substrate, and the sunlight irradiated on the surface of the solar cell cannot be fully utilized, therefore, the light trapping structure may be important for the heterojunction solar cell, the crystalline silicon substrate after the texturing process can form a random pyramid structure on its surface, thus improving the utilization rate of sunlight.
S20: Cleaning the crystalline silicon substrate after the texturing process to remove particles and metal contamination on the surface of the crystalline silicon substrate.
The silver thin layer is deposited between the transparent conductive film layer and the main grid line electrode. The main grid line electrode is solidified with the silver thin layer together through the action of the resin in the silver paste. Accordingly, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode is enhanced and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module is improved.
In other embodiments provided by the present application, other metal thin layer may be used instead of the silver thin layer, for example, at least one of the silver aluminum thin layer and the nickel vanadium thin layer, and a composite thin layer of the silver thin layer and at least one of the silver aluminum thin layer and the nickel vanadium thin layer may be used. In this case, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode can also be increased, and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module can be improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness range value of the metal thin layer may be lOnm to 200nm.
In other embodiments provided by the present application, a metal thin layer may be deposited on the transparent conductive film layer on only one side of the crystalline silicon substrate, i.e., depositing a metal thin layer on the transparent conductive film layer on the front side or back side of the crystalline silicon substrate. In this case, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode can also be increased, and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module can be improved.
When a metal thin layer is only deposited on the transparent conductive film layer on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate, the main grid line electrode as an electrode layer or an electrode layer composed of the main grid line electrode and the fine grid line electrode can be directly formed on the transparent conductive film layer on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate. As a result, a double-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained. Or, a metal layer may be deposited on the entire surface of the transparent conductive film layer on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate, consequently a single-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained. The metal layer may be selected from at least one of a silver layer, a silver aluminum layer, and a nickel vanadium layer.
When a metal thin layer is only deposited on the transparent conductive film layer on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate, the main grid line electrode as an electrode layer or an electrode layer composed of the main grid line electrode and the fine grid line electrode can be directly formed on the transparent conductive film layer on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate. As a result, a double-sided heterojunction solar cell is obtained.
As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a heterojunction solar cell which can be obtained by adopting the preparation method of the heterojunction solar cell provided by any embodiment of the present application. The heteroj unction solar cell comprises a crystalline silicon substrate 100, intrinsic layers 200 arranged on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, a N-type doped silicon layer 300 arranged on the intrinsic layer 200 on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, a P-type doped silicon layer 400 arranged on the intrinsic layer 200 on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, transparent conductive film layers 500 arranged on the N-type doped silicon layer 300 and the P-type doped silicon layer 400, silver thin layers 600 arranged on the transparent conductive film layers 500 on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100, and main grid line electrodes 700 arranged on the silver thin layers 600 on the front side and back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 100.
The transparent conductive film layer may be indium tin oxide (ITO), aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO), or the like; the intrinsic layer may be an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer; the N-type doped silicon layer may be a N-type amorphous silicon doped silicon layer, and the P-type doped silicon layer may be a P-type amorphous silicon doped silicon layer.
Among them, a silver thin layer 600 is deposited between the transparent conductive film layer 500 and the main grid line electrode 700. During the process of forming the main grid line electrode 700 by screen printing, the main grid line electrode 700 and the silver thin layer 600 can be solidified together because the silver thin layer is pure metal and the material of the main grid line electrode is mainly silver. After the main grid line electrode is formed by screen printing, the silver grid line electrode formed by screen printing is dried through a drying process. The general drying process is to place the cell sheet after screen printing in a drying furnace and use the hot air of the drying furnace to make the silver grid line electrode be dried and solidified on the cell sheet. The solvent added to the silver paste of the screen printing increases the flowability of the silver paste. During the drying process, the solver is evaporated, and the resin in the silver paste generates crosslinking. This enable the solidification effect of the main grid line electrode and the silver thin layer be better, the ohmic contact of the main grid line and the cell sheet be better, the resistance be smaller, thus increasing the output power of the cell sheet.
The material of the transparent conductive film layer may be metal oxide, while the silver thin layer is pure metal. When the silver thin layer is arranged on the transparent conductive film layer, the welding bonding force between the silver thin layer and the transparent conductive film layer is larger, and the ohmic contact between the silver thin layer and the transparent conductive film layer is better, the contact resistance is smaller, even can be negligible.
Accordingly, the welding tension of the main grid line electrode 700 is enhanced and the reliability of the solar photovoltaic module is enhanced.
The thickness range value of the silver thin layer 600 may be lOnm to 200nm, for example, the thickness value of the silver thin layer 600 may be 30nm, 50nm, 70nm, 90nm, 110nm, 130nm, 150nm, 190nm. In order to make the silver thin layer 600 have higher welding strength after being combined with the main grid line electrode 700 without affecting the performance of the heterojunction solar cell, in an exemplary embodiment, the thickness value of the silver thin layer 600 may be 110nm.
The thickness range value of the crystalline silicon substrate 100 may be 100 pm to 25011m, for example, the thickness value of the crystalline silicon substrate 100 may be 1201.tm, 140 ,m, 160 pm, 180 m, 200 m, 220 m, 240 ,m.
The thickness value of the intrinsic layer 200 may be mm to 20nm; for example, the thickness value of the intrinsic layer 200 may be 4nm, 8nm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm.
The thicker intrinsic layer 200 may lead to an increase in the series resistance of the solar cell while hindering the transmission of sunlight, resulting in a deterioration in the short-circuit current and the overall efficiency. The thinner intrinsic layer 200 may weaken the built-in electric field, resulting in the deterioration of the open circuit voltage. Therefore, the thickness of the intrinsic layer 200 can be appropriately controlled. In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the intrinsic layer 200 may be 12nm, the intrinsic layer 200 of this thickness is more beneficial to improving various performances of the heterojunction solar cell than the intrinsic layer 200 of other thickness.
The thickness range value of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 may be mm to 20nm; for example, the thickness value of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 may be 4nm, 6nm, 8nm, 10nm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm. If the thickness of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 is too large, it may lead to an increase in the series resistance of the solar cell and simultaneously hinder the transmission of sunlight, resulting in the deterioration of short-circuit current and overall efficiency. If the thickness of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 is too small, it may not be able to form a built-in electric field with sufficient strength, resulting in the deterioration of the open circuit voltage. Therefore, in an exemplary embodiment, the thickness value of the N-type doped silicon layer 300 may be 1 Onm.
The thickness range value of the P-type doped silicon layer 400 may be mm to 20nm, the thickness value of the P-type doped silicon layer 400 may be 4nm, 6nm, 8nm, lOnm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm, in order to ensure the light transmittance of sunlight and to form a built-in electric field with sufficient strength, the thickness value of the P-type doped silicon layer 400 may be lOnm.
The thickness range value of the transparent conductive film layer 500 may be 50nm to 150nm, for example, the thickness value of the transparent conductive film layer 500 may be 60nm, 80nm, 100nm, 120nm, 140nm.
The transparent conductive film layer 500 may be provided with fine grid line electrode for collecting electrons or holes generated by light excitation and transmitting the collected electrons or holes to the main grid line electrode. There may be a plurality of fine grid line electrodes, and a plurality of fine grid line electrodes are uniformly and more densely distributed on the transparent conductive film layer 500. The diameter range value of the fine grid line electrode may be 201.im to 60 m. In an exemplary embodiment, the diameter of the fine grid line electrode may be 35 ,m. In order to increase the distribution density of the fine gate line electrode and ensure the connection strength between the fine grid line electrode and the transparent conductive film layer 500, the output current may be increased.
The fine grid line electrode is conductively connected with the main grid line electrode, and the number of the main grid line electrode may be 2 to 6. In order to avoid waste of silver paste and enhance the bonding strength between the main grid line electrode and the fine grid line electrode, the number of the main grid line electrode may be 4.
