Background technology
At present, crystal silicon solar energy battery industrialization technology is very ripe, and silicon solar cell market is tending towards saturated, industry competition is more and more fierce, each company for how to ensure, under the efficiency of silicon solar cell and the prerequisite of quality, farthest reduces its manufacturing cost and has carried out a large amount of research.In cell piece, the cost of printing cells silver slurry and half tone accounts for the more than 70% of whole cell piece manufacturing cost, so how to ensure under the prerequisite of cell piece conversion efficiency, reduce the consumption of silver slurry and extend the half tone life-span, can reduce to a great extent the manufacturing cost of cell piece.
The printing process of conventional cell piece front electrode is by the mode of the main grid of front electrode printing together with thin grid are under same half tone, slurry of the same race.But for the front electrode of cell piece, the Main Function of main grid is transmission current and is convenient to assembly series welding; The Main Function of thin grid is to collect photoelectric current, the parameters such as the string resistance to cell piece such as the density of the depth-width ratio of its printing and silver slurry, short circuit current, fill factor, curve factor have a great impact, and the silver slurry of hence one can see that thin grid of printing has higher requirement than the silver slurry of printing main grid.Therefore, for thereby the consumption that reduces silver slurry reduces cell piece production cost, do not affect cell piece front electrode main grid to the prerequisite of current delivery and assembly pulling force under, can be by cell piece main grid and separately (the thin conventional positive silver paste of grid of printing separately under different half tones, slurry of thin grid; Main grid uses the silver slurry that silver content is lower, for example back silver paste and the lower unconventional front side silver paste of other relevant silver contents), i.e. twice printing.
Application number is twice printing process that 201110436153.7 Chinese invention patent discloses a kind of cell piece front electrode, first use two blocks of supporting web plates, wherein, first mesh-plate structure has complete grid line structure, includes some thin grid lines and some main grid lines; And second block of web plate only has thin grid line structure, these two blocks of web plates, after accurate contraposition, can ensure that the thin grid line of two blocks of web plates can coincide together; Then two blocks of web plates are fixed on printing machine for printing according to correct locality, and then complete the steps such as oven dry, sintering.The method can solve common printed mode shown go out " camel peak ", and the gate electrode line obtaining after twice printing is evenly smooth, has solved empty seal problem.But the method must be by two web plate accurate contrapositions, otherwise easily there is shift phenomenon in cell piece main grid, thin grid junction, affects cell piece outward appearance.

Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the preferred embodiment of the invention is elaborated:
The printing process of solar battery sheet front electrode of the present invention, concrete operations are:
First by with solar battery sheet on the half tone that matches of thin grid line to be printed, main grid line be fixed on printing machine, on web plate, be distributed with thin grid line, main grid line that some thin grid line Printing Zones and some main grid line Printing Zones are used to form certain pattern form, with sending into solar battery sheet in backward printing machine.
When printing, the printing of thin grid line and main grid line is divided into twice, the two ends of all thin grid line of first printing and main grid line for the first time, concrete operations are: the end that thin grid silver slurry is printed on respectively to thin grid line Printing Zone, main grid line Printing Zone makes thin grid silver slurry on solar battery sheet, form the both ends of complete thin grid line and main grid line, with post-drying solar battery sheet, the patterning of formation as shown in Figure 1; Because the Main Function of thin grid is to collect photoelectric current, the parameters such as the string resistance to cell piece such as the density of the depth-width ratio of its printing and silver slurry, short circuit current, fill factor, curve factor have a great impact, and therefore silver slurry herein adopts silver content to reach the thin grid silver slurry of 80wt% ~ 90 wt%.That the solar battery sheet after drying is sent into printing machine more for the second time, starch and be printed on main grid line Printing Zone with main grid silver, make main grid silver slurry on solar battery sheet, form the middle part of main grid line, connect into complete main grid line with the main grid line both ends that print in previous step, with post-drying solar battery sheet; Main grid mainly plays the effect of current delivery and components welding, as long as do not affecting cell piece front electrode main grid and only need to ensure under to the prerequisite of current delivery and assembly pulling force these two functions of main grid, therefore in this step, silver slurry adopts silver-colored slurry of main grid of silver content lower (being 55 wt% ~ 65 wt%).Finally the solar battery sheet after printing is carried out to sintering processes.The both ends that adopt the mode of two step printings first to print complete thin grid line and main grid line like this, have overcome cell piece main grid line, the thin grid line phenomenon in conjunction with skew, have extended half tone service life; And thin grid silver is starched and main grid silver slurry can adopt the silver of different silver contents to starch, can obviously reduce the silver slurry consumption of main grid line, reduce cell piece manufacturing cost.
In the present embodiment, when the first printing, (being printed on crossing thin grid line Printing Zone and end, main grid line Printing Zone by thin grid silver slurry) intersected in thin grid line Printing Zone, end, main grid line Printing Zone, can make like this thin grid line and main grid thread end that printing forms intersect, can further improve and overcome main grid line, thin grid line in conjunction with the ability being offset.The half tone that the half tone adopting when the second printing adopts can be from the first printing time is different, for example be replaced with the half tone of arranging overcover in subregion, main grid line Printing Zone, thereby the main grid line that printing produces can become patterning as shown in Figure 2, be to be furnished with hole between on main grid line, be mainly the spreading area in order to reduce main grid line, can improve on the one hand the transmitance of sunlight, be conducive to improve electricity conversion, consumption that on the other hand can saving silver paste, reduces costs; And because more than 6 microns main grid thickness all meets the demands, therefore this half tone thickness can design (about 6 ~ 8 microns best) less than normal as far as possible, to reduce the following ink of printing main grid silver slurry, thereby the printing consumption of the reduction reaching silver slurry further reduces costs.
In the present embodiment, in step (b) and step (c), bake out temperature is preferably 120 DEG C ~ 220 DEG C, and drying time is preferably 10 ~ 30 seconds.In step (d), sintering temperature is preferably at 800 DEG C ~ 950 DEG C, and sintering time is preferably 50 ~ 120 seconds.Concrete stoving process and sintering process should regulate according to actual conditions, for example temperature is not always at 800 DEG C ~ 950 DEG C when sintering, but being increased to sintering temperature by room temperature with certain heating rate, actual sintering time should comprise the heating-up time.
Above-described embodiment is only explanation technical conceive of the present invention and feature; its object is to allow person skilled in the art can understand content of the present invention and implement according to this; can not limit the scope of the invention with this; all equivalences that Spirit Essence is done according to the present invention change or modify, within all should being encompassed in protection scope of the present invention.
