Description

Paste composition for front electrode of solar cell and solar cell using the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a paste composition for a front electrode of a solar cell and a solar cell formed using the same.
Background
A solar cell (solar cell) is a semiconductor element that converts solar energy into electric energy, and is composed of a semiconductor wafer, an antireflection film, a front surface electrode, and a back surface electrode. The solar cell induces a P-N junction photoelectric effect of the semiconductor wafer by incident sunlight, and electrons generated thereby provide a current flowing to the outside via the electrode.
Wherein the front electrode is formed by applying a metal paste on one surface of the wafer. A paste composition containing a metal, a glass frit, or the like is applied to a substrate by a general screen printing method or the like to form an electrode circuit having a specific shape, and is dried and sintered to impart conductivity.
In particular, since the front electrode is positioned at the uppermost portion of the solar cell, there is a need to increase conductivity while minimizing shading loss (shading loss), and thus there has been a demand for developing a metal paste having excellent adhesion and lower contact resistance characteristics. Among them, Glass frit (Glass frit), which is an important composition of metal paste, is being studied particularly actively.
The glass frit etches the anti-reflection film by an interface reaction with the anti-reflection film, which is an oxidation-reduction reaction, and a part of the elements are reduced to generate by-products. Since the conventional glass frit has a high content of lead oxide (PbO), lead is reduced after an interface reaction, thereby causing an environmental problem.
Therefore, there is still a need for a paste for a front electrode of a solar cell that is environment-friendly and can provide more excellent conversion efficiency and resistance characteristics than before.

In addition, the present invention can provide a solar cell including the solar cell front electrode. The solar cell of the present invention can provide excellent conversion efficiency and resistance characteristics, thereby greatly improving the power generation efficiency of the solar cell.
A solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
The solar cell includes: a first semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor layer formed on the first semiconductor layer; an antireflection film formed on the second semiconductor layer; a front electrode penetrating the antireflection film and connected to the second semiconductor layer; and a back electrode formed on the back surface of the semiconductor layer.
The semiconductor material used for the semiconductor layer may specifically be crystalline silicon, and for example, a silicon wafer may be used. One of the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer may be a semiconductor layer doped with a p-type impurity, and the other may be a semiconductor layer doped with an n-type impurity. The p-type impurity may be doped with a group iii element (B, Ga, In, etc.), and the N-type impurity may be doped with a group v element (P, As, Sb, etc.).
A P-N junction, which is a portion where current is generated by a photovoltaic effect when receiving sunlight, is formed on an interface between the semiconductor layers. Electrons and holes generated by the photovoltaic effect are attracted to the P layer and the N layer, respectively, to move to the electrodes joined to the lower portion and the upper portion, respectively, and electricity generated therein can be utilized by applying a load to the electrodes.
An anti-reflection film may be formed on the second semiconductor layer. The anti-reflection film reduces the reflectance of sunlight incident on the front surface of the solar cell. If the reflectivity of sunlight is reduced, the amount of light reaching the P-N junction is increased, which may increase the short-circuit current of the solar cell and improve the conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
The antireflection film may be made of a substance that absorbs less light and has insulation properties, and may be, for example, silicon nitride (SiN)x) Silicon oxide (SiO)2) Titanium oxide (TiO)2) Alumina (Al)2O3) Magnesium oxide (MgO), cerium oxide (CeO)2) And combinations thereof, the anti-reflection film may be formed as a single layer or a plurality of layers.
A front electrode may be formed on the upper portion of the anti-reflection film, and a rear electrode may be formed on the rear surface of the semiconductor layer. The electrode may be formed by performing a heat treatment after printing a paste composition including a conductive metal powder on a semiconductor wafer.
A part of the antireflection film may be removed by chemical treatment. The anti-reflection film may be deposited by CVD (chemical vapor deposition), PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition), sputtering, or other methods. By removing a part of the antireflection film, the electrical contact between the semiconductor substrate and the conductor of the paste composition can be improved. The paste composition may be printed in a pattern on the antireflective film, for example, as a bus bar with connecting lines. Printing can be achieved by screen printing, plating, extrusion, ink-jetting, forming or multi-plate printing (printing) or ribbon (ribbon).
In the electrode forming process, the conductive metal powder may be sintered by heating the slurry composition. Typically, the sintering temperature may be set to burn off not only the organic material but also any other organic material present in the slurry composition. In one embodiment, the sintering temperature may be 750 to 950 ℃.
The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples. However, the following examples are only for reference to illustrate the present invention in detail, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[ Property evaluation ]
1. A solar cell was prepared so as to be printed/sintered into a pattern having a three bus bar structure, having a gate line (finger line) width of 50 μm, and having a number of gate lines of 105, and characteristic evaluation was performed. Measuring the electro-optic characteristics of the prepared solar cell, and using a solar simulator with rated power Oriel 1000W at 100mW/cm2The current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics were measured under illumination (AM 1.5G). The measured value is expressed as energy conversion efficiency (%) by the following mathematical formula 1. The conversion efficiency refers to a ratio of an output power of the solar cell to an incident light energy per unit area.
The series resistance value was calculated after measuring the J-V characteristic of the analog device, which was used to understand the correlation with FF.
[ mathematical formula 1]
Energy conversion efficiency (%) < FF x (Jsc × Voc)/Pin
Voc represents the open circuit voltage (V), and Jsc represents the short circuit current (mA/cm)2) FF represents fillFill factor (%), Pin is the intensity of the incident light and represents 100mW/cm2
2. The solder tape adhesion was evaluated using solder tape used to prepare modules having a width of 1.2 mm. The solder ribbon was composed of a composition having a ratio of Pb/Sn of 60/40, and after a KESTOR 955 flux was applied to the surface of the solder ribbon, the solder ribbon was attached to the upper end of the bus bar of the prepared solar cell by soldering.
After dipping the solder strips cut to a length of 200mm in a KESTOR 955 flux solution for one minute, they are dried at 100 degrees for 10 minutes to be ready for use. The solder ribbon is attached to the solar cell using a SEMTEK SCB-130B hand soldering apparatus. Soldering was performed by placing a flux-coated solder ribbon on the upper end of the solar cell busbar and heating at 300 c for one minute.
The adhesion of the solder ribbon after the attachment was completed was measured using a DS2-20N device from IMADA. At this time, the angle of the solder ribbon and the solar cell is maintained at 180 degrees.
[ Table 2]
Figure GDA0001619165450000111
As shown in table 2, it can be seen that the solar cell prepared from the paste composition for a front electrode of a solar cell according to the example of the present invention reduces the series resistance between the electrode and the solar cell substrate as compared to the comparative example. Thus, it is understood that the open circuit voltage and fill factor characteristics are improved, and thus the solar cell has excellent energy conversion efficiency.
Further, as a result of confirmation of the adhesive force of the solder ribbon, it was confirmed that the examples of the present invention have stronger adhesive force than the comparative examples. This is because, in the case where the solder ribbon adhesion is weak, it is difficult to perform modularization of the solar cell, and thus it can be confirmed that the solar cell module of the paste composition according to the present invention has excellent stability.
