Figure 3 shows that the cross section structure schematic diagram of the N-shaped solar cell of the prepared formation of back electrode preparation method that one embodiment of the invention provides.Embodiment as shown in Figure 3, cell substrate comprises the N-shaped semiconductor regions 150 in the front that is positioned at solar cell 10, also is formed with successively antireflection layer 151 and secondary grid line 153 on it; The back side of solar cell 10 is aluminium back of the body knot 173, be formed on the N-shaped cell substrate, usually, aluminium paste by aluminium back of the body knot 173 in sintering process (sintering temperature is about 577 ℃) to the diffusion into the surface of cell substrate N-shaped, can partly form p-type semiconductor regions (not shown), thereby form the pn knot with N-shaped semiconductor regions 150.The thickness of the p-type semiconductor regions in the aluminium back of the body knot 173 is the 3-6 micron, for example 5 microns.
Continue as shown in Figures 2 and 3, in the solar cell 10 that the Brush Plating method forms, except back electrode (137 or 177), also comprise transition zone (135 or 175), this transition zone is between back electrode and back of the body electric field/aluminium back of the body knot, can be used for strengthening the back electrode of Brush Plating and the adhesion between back of the body electric field/aluminium back of the body knot, to satisfy the reliability requirement after welding forms assembly.This is because self adhesion that the oxide that the surface of back of the body electric field/aluminium back of the body knot may be adhered to affects between its back electrode of tying material and Brush Plating with adhesion or back of the body electric field/aluminium back of the body of the back electrode of Brush Plating is too little.Therefore, in the preferred embodiment of Brush Plating method of the present invention, before the employing brushing plating pen carries out brush plating, also comprise and adopt pre-treatment step in order to form transition zone (135 or 175).
In a further example, in the adhesion of transition zone (135 or 175) between the back electrode that strengthens Brush Plating and back of the body electric field/aluminium back of the body knot, can also improve the speed of Brush Plating back electrode.
Several embodiment of the preparation back electrode method that comprises this pre-treatment step below are provided.

Can find by above embodiment, in the pre-treatment step, include but not limited in order to the method that forms transition zone: soak zinc processing, chemical nickel plating processing, spraying conductive paste and the low temperature drying of displacement reaction mode are processed.It not is restrictive that the concrete material of transition zone is selected, and those skilled in the art can select according to the factors such as material of the back electrode of Brush Plating the material of transition zone, and the thickness range of transition zone can for 0.5 micron-2 microns, for example be 1.2 microns.
As can be seen from Figure 3, for the N-shaped solar cell, the pn interface forms near the back side of solar cell, when forming back electrode 177 by the Brush Plating method, the formation of back electrode 177 does not comprise the high temperature processing procedures such as sintering, thereby can prevent that back electrode metal (for example silver) from diffusing to the short circuit that cause in the interface in a large number, and can guarantee the adhesion that back electrode 230 and aluminium are carried on the back knot 173.Therefore, the Brush Plating of the present invention method for preparing back electrode is particularly suitable for N-shaped aluminium back of the body connection solar cell.
In going back an example, the back electrode 230 of Brush Plating can be lamination layer structure, for example, the copper metal layer that back electrode comprises the silver metal layer (perhaps for tin metal layer) on top layer, covered by silver layer, particularly, first form copper metal layer (electroplate liquid can adopt copper brushing plating solution) in transition zone 135 or 175 brush plating that powers on, Brush Plating forms silver metal layer (perhaps being the tin metal layer) again, can reduce like this thickness of silver metal layer (perhaps being the tin metal layer), the preparation cost of relative reduce back electrode.
Need to prove, the preparation method of above back electrode can be applied to the preparation of polytype solar cell, particularly, for the solar cell that is not suitable for forming back of the body electric field by silk screen printing and high temperature sintering (for example, PERC(passivation emitter back side battery), the laser sintered type of LFC() battery), it is particularly suitable; For example, it also can also be applied to metal around the preparation of wearing type (Metal Wrap Through, MWT) back of the body contact solar cell.
