Description

Process for forming electrode of solar cell
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a process for forming an electrode of a solar cell.
Background
The process of forming the electrodes of crystalline silicon solar cells typically involves printing a slurry containing a metal powder (e.g., silver powder) on the back and/or front side of the solar cell, followed by rapid low temperature baking and high temperature sintering in a sintering furnace to form good ohmic contact of the metal to the semiconductor. In order to obtain higher conversion efficiency, it is necessary to reduce the recombination degree of the metal and the semiconductor to increase the open circuit voltage (Voc), and specifically, to reduce the contact area of the metal and the semiconductor. However, the contact area between the metal and the semiconductor can be reduced by reducing the width of the metal grid line, but the cross-sectional area of the metal grid line is reduced, so that the resistance of the metal grid line is increased, and the Fill Factor (FF) of the solar cell is reduced; meanwhile, the risk of breaking the metal grid line can be increased by reducing the contact area of the metal grid line and the semiconductor. In order to ensure the continuity of the metal grid lines, the metal powder-containing slurry is sometimes printed twice, however, such a process requires very high operation precision to ensure that the fine metal grid lines printed twice have good contact ratio.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a process for forming an electrode of a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the process for forming an electrode of a solar cell includes the following steps:
(1) printing a first pattern on a silicon substrate by using a first paste not containing metal powder;
(2) carrying out first heat treatment on the silicon substrate to dry the first slurry;
(3) printing a second pattern on the first pattern using a second paste containing a metal powder on a silicon substrate, at least a portion of the second pattern being in contact with the silicon substrate;
(4) and carrying out second heat treatment on the silicon substrate to sinter the second slurry so as to form the electrode of the solar cell.
In the above embodiment, a first pattern not containing metal powder is first formed on the silicon substrate through the steps (1) and (2), and then a second pattern is printed using a second paste containing metal powder in a manner to cover the first pattern through the step (3), and since at least a portion of the second pattern is in contact with the silicon substrate, the outline of the second pattern can be considered to be larger than that of the first pattern, and thus after sintering, another portion of the second pattern is not in ohmic contact with the silicon substrate due to the shielding of the first pattern, and the contact area with the silicon substrate is also reduced. Therefore, the contact area with the silicon substrate can be reduced on the premise of not reducing the resistance of the second pattern (for example, the second pattern is a plurality of auxiliary grid lines), so that the open-circuit voltage is improved.
In the step (1), the first slurry containing no metal powder is a slurry incapable of forming ohmic contact with a silicon substrate.
In the step (1), the metal-free powder is a powder that does not contain metals such as silver (Ag), gold (Au), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir), rhenium (Re), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), yttrium (Y), cobalt (Co), zirconium (Zr), iron (Fe), tungsten (W), tin (Sn), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), and the like.
The first paste is not particularly limited as long as it can be cured and attached to the surface of the silicon substrate after being heated. In some embodiments, the first slurry may contain a polymer, an organic solvent, and the like. The polymer may be a high temperature resistant resin such as polyimide resin, which is advantageous in the heat resistance of the first paste, i.e., the high temperature resistant resin does not undergo decomposition reaction or undergoes little decomposition reaction after the first heat treatment. The polyimide resin may be a commercially available product. The organic solvent may be a solvent capable of dissolving or swelling the above-mentioned polymer, and examples thereof include 1, 3-dimethyl-1-2-imidazolidinone, N-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone, and diethylene glycol methyl butyl ether. The organic solvent may be a commercially available product. For the first slurry, commercially available products such as TOK IP-1600 in Japan, Henkel3616 in Henkel, Germany, and the like can be used. In addition, a small amount of glass frit may be contained in the first paste.
For the first pattern printed in step (1), it may be any arrangement of discontinuous grid lines (as shown in fig. 2), or a linear pattern with hollow-out regions (as shown in fig. 3), or a combination thereof.
In the step (2), the temperature of the first heat treatment is not particularly limited as long as the first slurry can be dried to be fixedly attached to the surface of the silicon substrate. The maximum temperature of the first heat treatment can be 200-950 ℃, and the treatment time can be more than 10 s. Preferably, the temperature of the first heat treatment in the step (2) is 200-600 ℃, and the treatment time is 1-3 min. The method of the first heat treatment is not particularly limited, and for example, oven heating, laser heating, radiation heating, or the like can be used. In one embodiment, oven heating may be used. Since the first paste does not contain metal powder, it forms an insulating layer on the surface of the silicon substrate after the first heat treatment. The temperature of the first heat treatment can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to the components of the first slurry, and generally, the temperature of the first heat treatment needs to be 200 ℃ or more. The maximum temperature of the first heat treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 950 ℃ or less. Although the temperature of 950 ℃ is already higher than the decomposition temperature of the heat-resistant polymer, a certain time is required in view of heat transfer, so that the time for the first heat treatment can be reduced, for example, to 10 seconds or less, for example, 9s, 8s, 7s, 6s, 5s, 4s, 3s, 2s, 1s, etc., when the temperature is higher.
The second slurry containing metal powder in step (3) is a slurry capable of forming ohmic contact with the silicon wafer substrate, preferably a silver slurry. The metal powder in step (3) may be a powder of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of silver (Ag), gold (Au), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir), rhenium (Re), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), yttrium (Y), cobalt (Co), zirconium (Zr), iron (Fe), tungsten (W), tin (Sn), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), etc., such as a silver powder, or a mixture of a silver powder and other metal powders, such as a mixture of a silver powder and an aluminum powder, a mixture of a silver powder and a copper powder, or a mixture of an aluminum powder and a copper powder.
The particle size (particle size) of the metal powder in the step (3) may be in the nano-or micro-size range. For example, the particle size of the above metal powder may be several tens nanometers to several hundreds nanometers or several micrometers to several tens micrometers or several tens nanometers to several tens micrometers. In an embodiment, the metal powder may be a mixture of two or more silver powders having different particle sizes.
The metal powder in step (3) may have a spherical, flake, or amorphous particle shape, the median particle diameter (D50) of the metal powder in step (3) may be 0.1 to 10 micrometers, e.g., 0.5 to 5 micrometers, or less than 0.1 micrometer, the average particle diameter may be measured using, for example, a model 1064D (CI L AS co., L td.) device after dispersing the metal powder in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) via ultrasonic treatment at room temperature (20 to 25 ℃) for 3 minutes, within this average particle diameter range, the second slurry may provide low contact resistance and low line resistance, the content of the metal powder may be 60 to 95 weight% based on 100 weight% for the second slurry, in one embodiment, the content of the metal powder may be 70 to 90 weight%, if within this range, lower resistance is guaranteed.
The second paste containing the metal powder may be a sintered contact type paste which is widely used at present, and the second paste may contain a fire through contact type glass frit, an organic solvent, etc. in addition to the metal powder, such as PVJ06 of dupont, PV3N2 of heili, etc., which are merely exemplary and not limiting, and other pastes having similar functions may be used.
And (4) printing a second pattern in the step (3) as a continuous grid line. A continuous gate line (i.e., a continuous electrode) can provide an output of current.
In the step (4), the temperature of the second heat treatment is not particularly limited as long as sintering of the second paste to the silicon substrate and ohmic contact with the silicon substrate can be achieved. The maximum temperature of the second heat treatment can be 500-950 ℃, and the treatment time can be more than 10 s. Preferably, the temperature of the second heat treatment in the step (4) is 700 to 950 ℃, and the treatment time is more than 3min, for example, 3 to 5 min. The method of the second heat treatment is not particularly limited, and for example, oven heating, laser heating, radiation heating, or the like can be used. In one embodiment, oven heating may be used. Since the second paste contains the metal powder, the metal powder in the second paste forms an ohmic contact with the silicon substrate after the second heat treatment. The temperature of the second heat treatment may be adaptively adjusted by those skilled in the art according to the components of the second slurry, and generally, the temperature of the second heat treatment needs to be 500 ℃ or more because sintering is required to form an ohmic contact. The maximum temperature of the second heat treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 950 ℃ or less. Because the maximum temperature is too high, more energy needs to be consumed. However, if the time for the second heat treatment is additionally reduced, the temperature for the second heat treatment may be appropriately increased. When the temperature of the second heat treatment is 950 ℃ or higher, the time of the second heat treatment can be appropriately reduced, for example, to 10 seconds or less, for example, 9 seconds, 8 seconds, 7 seconds, 6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, and the like.
In one embodiment, the second heat treatment is performed to contact the second paste to the silicon substrate at the hollowed-out portion of the first pattern and to sinter the second paste to form a conductive path.
Alternatively, the printing of the first pattern in step (1) may be on the front side of the sheet-shaped silicon substrate (the sheet-shaped silicon substrate is also referred to as a silicon wafer for short), the back side of the silicon wafer or the front and back sides of the silicon wafer, and may be a single printing or a plurality of times of printing, that is, step (1) may be repeated a plurality of times, or step (1) and step (2) may be repeated a plurality of times at the same time. The front surface of the silicon wafer generally refers to the light receiving surface of the silicon wafer, which is obliquely oriented upward. The back side of the silicon wafer refers to the side opposite to the front side of the silicon wafer.
Optionally, the printing of the second pattern in step (3) may be on the front side of the silicon wafer (silicon substrate), the back side of the silicon wafer or both the front side and the back side of the silicon wafer, and may be a single printing or a plurality of printings. That is, step (3) may be repeated a plurality of times.
Optionally, the printed second pattern in step (3) is brought into contact with the silicon wafer at the break or hollow of the first pattern in step (1) (fig. 4).
Optionally, for the back side of a back contact cell or a common cell which does not need to consider the influence of front shading, the width of the grid lines printed with the second pattern is not limited any more, and the series resistance of the solar cell can be reduced by printing the second pattern with wider grid lines, so that the conversion efficiency of the cell is improved remarkably.
The method of the invention can be used for forming main grid lines (main electrodes) of the solar cell and can also be used for forming auxiliary grid lines (auxiliary electrodes) of the solar cell. Preferably used to form the subgrid of a solar cell.
