When the electrode jointing line 20 to solar battery cell 10 is to manufacture solar cell module 100, such as Fig. 9 And shown in Figure 10, joint line 20 is welded in light-receiving surface bus electrode 12B and back side bonding electrodes 13b.Then, due to connecing Head line 20 soldering in heating and solar battery cell 10b generate residual thermal stress.Due to the cooling after heating When light-receiving surface bus electrode 12B and the difference of thermal contraction of back side bonding electrodes 13b and joint line 20 cause to generate residual heat Stress, therefore overleaf bonding electrodes 13b is nearby and light-receiving surface bus electrode 12B nearby generates the residual thermal stress.Semiconductor The thickness of substrate 11 is about 200 μm, very small compared with the configuration space of back side bonding electrodes 13b, will not be by semiconductor substrate 11 thickness mitigates, and also conducts to the back side of semiconductor substrate 11.
In addition, in order to be connected with each other between solar battery cell 10 using joint line 20, light-receiving surface bus electrode 12B Corresponding position is arranged in the face of semiconductor substrate 1 with back side bonding electrodes 13b.Therefore, the back side of semiconductor substrate 1 Back side bonding electrodes 13b in side is nearby by the residual overleaf generated near bonding electrodes 13b in jointing line 20 The influence of thermal stress, and by the residual thermal stress generated near light-receiving surface bus electrode 12B in jointing line 20 Influence, be applied many residual thermal stress.That in the back side of semiconductor substrate 1 includes above-mentioned first area 14a and second The joint line join domain 14 of region 14b may be especially prone to for the back side in semiconductor substrate 1 by back side bonding electrodes The influence of residual thermal stress caused by 13b jointing line 20 and by light-receiving surface bus electrode 12B jointing line 20 The region of the influence of caused residual thermal stress.
It is answered when residual thermal stress is applied with heat to the part of the contact hole 1H at the back side for being set to solar battery cell 10 When power, generate in semiconductor substrate 1 using contact hole 1H as the crackle of starting point.Then, the generation of the crackle, which not only incurs, is manufacturing The deterioration of fabrication yield when solar cell module 100 also becomes to using solar battery cell 10 to constitute too It is positive can battery module 100 when being applied with external force, cause the output by caused by the intensity decline of solar cell module decline from And the reason of making the reliability decrease of solar cell module 100.
Then, in the present embodiment, by by contact hole 7, in further detail for be to be set to contact hole 1H partly to lead Region other than the joint line join domain 14 at the back side of structure base board 1, be able to suppress near light-receiving surface bus electrode 12B and The influence for the residual thermal stress docking contact hole 1H that back side bonding electrodes 13b is nearby generated.That is, in solar battery cell 10, By as being influenced and residual thermal stress caused by back side bonding electrodes 13b jointing line 20 by total to light-receiving surface Joint line near the back side bonding electrodes 13b of the influence of residual thermal stress caused by line electrode 12B jointing line 20 connects It connects region 14 and is not provided with contact hole 1H.

Figure 21 is to show contact hole 7 formed in the back side of semiconductor substrate 1 in embodiments of the present invention The diagrammatic top view in region.As described above, contact hole 7 is covered with the joint line join domain 14 in the back side of semiconductor substrate 1 Region in addition and configure dottedly.Contact hole 7 is equally spaced configured at semiconductor substrate 1 with the interval of about 0.5mm to 1mm The back side it is whole.In Figure 21, it is schematically shown that the interval of adjacent contact hole 7 and quantity.
In addition, the formation about contact hole, usually carries out the mechanical hole machined according to laser irradiation, however, it is also possible to Hole machined is replaced using having the electrode material for going through fiery (Fire through) performance when forming rear electrode 13.
Figure 22 is to show that light-receiving surface electrode 12 and rear electrode 13 will be used to form in embodiments of the present invention Electrode material slurry is printed in the schematic sectional view on the surface of semiconductor substrate 11 and the process at the back side.In step S70, such as scheme Shown in 22, starched using as the electrode material of the back side bonding electrodes 13b, back side bonding electrodes material comprising silver and glass Expect 16a, the pattern of back side bonding electrodes 13b is selectively printed in the back side of semiconductor substrate 11 by silk screen print method Epiphragma 6 on.On epiphragma 6, back side bonding electrodes material paste 16a is printed in the joint line connection of not formed contact hole 7 The set forming region in region 14, and printing is the clathrate with set interval.Not formed epiphragma 6 the case where Under, back side bonding electrodes material paste 16a is printed in backside passivation film 5.
Later, back side bonding electrodes material paste 16a is dry.Silk-screen printing uses common screen process press.That is, logical Crossing scans scraper plate on mask to print in the state of carrying electrode material slurry, via mask to print, by electrode material Slurry is printed in the printing surface in semiconductor substrate 11.
Next, in step S80, as shown in figure 22, using as the electrode material of back side collecting electrodes 13a, packet Back side collecting electrodes material paste 16b containing aluminium and glass is selected the pattern of back side collecting electrodes 13a by silk screen print method Selecting property it is printed in the back side of semiconductor substrate 11.Back side collecting electrodes material paste 16b is the expansion comprising the first conduction type Dissipate the electrode material slurry in source.In the back side of semiconductor substrate 11, with filling contact hole 7 and in the back of semiconductor substrate 11 The whole mode printed back collecting electrodes material paste 16b of epiphragma 6 is covered in the face in face on direction.That is, back side current collection is electric Pole material paste 16b is connected between adjacent contact hole 7 and is printed.Back side collecting electrodes material paste 16b is surrounding the back side It is printed in the state of connection electrode material paste 16a.Later, back side collecting electrodes material paste 16b is dry.
Next, in step S90, as shown in figure 22, on the antireflection film 4 of the light receiving side of semiconductor substrate 11, As the electrode material of light-receiving surface electrode 12, the light-receiving surface electrode material comprising silver and glass is starched by silk screen print method Material 16c selectively prints the shape for light-receiving surface electrode 12.That is, light-receiving surface electrode material slurry 16c is selectively printed For the pattern of light-receiving surface grid electrode 12G and the pattern of light-receiving surface bus electrode 12B.
Figure 23 is to show in embodiments of the present invention fired electrodes material paste simultaneously and form light-receiving surface electrode 12 And the schematic sectional view of the process of rear electrode 13.Next, in the step s 100, in an atmosphere or in oxygen atmosphere, In Such as with 2 seconds to 10 seconds time at a temperature of 700 DEG C to 900 DEG C, while firing back side connection electrode material paste 16a, back The printed patterns of face collecting electrodes material paste 16b and light-receiving surface electrode material slurry 16c.By firing, by electrode material The heat resolves such as the organic solvent that slurry contains are allowed to be changed into as the preferred low-resistance state of electrode, and in electrode Ensure Ohmic contact between semiconductor substrate 11.
That is, as shown in figure 23, antireflection film 4 is gone through to fight by light-receiving surface electrode material slurry 16c to be passed through by being fired It is logical, form the light-receiving surface electrode 12 be connected with p-type impurity diffusion layer 3.

But due to incurring solar battery in the case where the silver as metal component does not reach p-type impurity diffusion layer 3 The characteristic of the Fill factor (Fill Factor, FF) of unit 10 declines, and the silver as metal component is reached to spread than p-type impurity When the position of 3 depth of layer, revealed in the power generation of solar battery cell 10, it is therefore desirable to pay attention to.
In addition, the diffusion length of carrier becomes smaller and makes crystallinity due to known when cast base plate is exposed under high temperature Deteriorate, it is therefore preferred that low temperature as far as possible and in the short time handle electrode firing.
In addition, existing in above-mentioned PERC structural unit and deteriorating (Light by the caused photoinduction performance of light irradiation Induced Degradation, LID) become problem the case where.Known this is that electronics or hole are mobile to boron in body silicon (B) and oxygen (O) to becoming unstable state, compared with the solar battery cell overleaf with BSF construction, deterioration Also become more significant.
It is known especially depend on boron (B) doping low-resistivity substrate in, photoinduction performance deterioration become more to show It writes.In order to inhibit the photoinduction performance to deteriorate, it is known that pass through about 100 DEG C to 250 DEG C or so of the height of existing while irradiation light Temperatureization is made annealing treatment, make boron (B) and O (oxygen) to stabilized technology, preferably in low-resistivity p-type PERC structural unit It is middle to implement the processing.
By the process more than implementing, solar battery cell 10 is obtained.In addition it is also possible to pass through sputtering method or transfer Other methods as method carry out electrode material slurry.
