Abstract

The invention relates to an improved copper electroplating method of a crystal silicon solar battery. The silicon nitride layer on the surface of the conventional battery has many pin holes, and in the process of preparing copper (Cu) electrodes by an electroplating process, the Cu electrodes are easy to be adsorbed to the pin holes of the silicon nitride layer to lead to blur in appearance of the solar battery. Meanwhile, the copper electrodes are easy to seep into the silicon nitride layer and a silicon-based interface through the pin holes, and Cu as a deep energy level impurity with very fast diffusion rate entering into a pn junction affects the service life and generating efficiency of the battery, so that the reliability of the battery is reduced. A protective film covers the surface of the silicon nitride layer before Cu electroplating to prevent Cu from being adsorbed and seeped in the electroplating process, so that the reliability of the battery is guaranteed while the blur in appearance of the solar battery is avoided. The protective film can be removed after Cu electrode electroplating. According to the technological requirements of the crystal silicon batteries, the protective film can be still remained if parameters of the battery such as optical and electrical properties and reliability are not affected.
