Detailed Description
Hereinafter, the paste composition for a solar cell of the present invention will be described in detail. In the present specification, the range of "to" means "above and below" unless otherwise specified.
The paste composition for a solar cell of the present invention can be used for forming an electrode of a crystalline solar cell, for example. The crystalline solar cell is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a PERC (passivantemitter and rear cell) type high conversion efficiency cell (hereinafter, referred to as "PERC type solar cell"). The paste composition for a solar cell of the present invention can be used, for example, for forming a back electrode of a PERC type solar cell. Hereinafter, the paste composition of the present invention is also abbreviated as "paste composition".
First, an example of the structure of the PERC type solar cell will be described.
PERC type solar cell unit
Fig. 1 (a) and (b) are schematic diagrams showing a general cross-sectional structure of the PERC type solar cell. The PERC type solar cell may include a silicon semiconductor substrate 1, an n-type impurity layer 2, an antireflection film (passivation film) 3, a grid electrode (gridelectrode)4, an electrode layer (back electrode layer) 5, an alloy layer 6, and p+The layer 7 serves as a constituent element.
The silicon semiconductor substrate 1 is not particularly limited, and for example, a p-type silicon substrate having a thickness of 180 to 250 μm can be used.
The n-type impurity layer 2 is provided on the light-receiving surface side of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1. The thickness of the n-type impurity layer 2 is, for example, 0.3 to 0.6. mu.m.
The antireflection film 3 and the gate electrode 4 are provided on the surface of the n-type impurity layer 2. The antireflection film 3 is formed of, for example, a silicon nitride film, and is also called a passivation film. The antireflection film 3 functions as a so-called passivation film, and thereby can suppress recombination of electrons on the surface of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1, and as a result, the recombination rate of generated carriers can be reduced. This can improve the conversion efficiency of the PERC type solar cell.
The antireflection film (passivation film) 3 may be provided on the back surface side of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1, that is, on the surface opposite to the light-receiving surface. In addition, a contact hole (opening) formed so as to penetrate the antireflection film (passivation film) 3 on the back surface side and cut a part of the back surface of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 is formed on the back surface side of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1. The method of forming the contact hole is not limited, and a so-called LCO (laser contact opening) method in which an opening is formed by laser irradiation or the like is generally used.
The electrode layer 5 is formed so as to be in contact with the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 through the contact hole. The electrode layer 5 is a member formed of the paste composition of the present invention, and is formed in a predetermined pattern shape. As shown in the embodiment (a) of fig. 1, the electrode layer 5 may be formed so as to cover the entire back surface of the PERC type solar cell, or may be formed so as to cover the contact hole and the vicinity thereof, as shown in the embodiment (b) of fig. 1. Since the electrode layer 5 is mainly composed of aluminum, the electrode layer 5 is an aluminum electrode layer.
The electrode layer 5 can be formed by, for example, applying a paste composition in a predetermined pattern shape and firing the paste composition. The coating method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include known methods such as screen printing. After the paste composition is applied and dried as necessary, for example, firing is performed at a temperature exceeding the melting point of aluminum (about 660 ℃) for a short time to form the electrode layer 5.
In the present invention, the firing temperature is not limited as long as it exceeds the melting point of aluminum (about 660 ℃ C.), and is preferably about 750 to 950 ℃ and more preferably about 780 to 900 ℃. The firing time can be appropriately set in accordance with the firing temperature within a range in which the desired electrode layer 5 can be formed.
When firing is performed in this manner, aluminum contained in the paste composition diffuses into the silicon semiconductor substrate 1. Thereby, an aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) alloy layer (alloy layer 6) is formed between the electrode layer 5 and the silicon semiconductor substrate 1, and at the same time, p as an impurity layer is formed by diffusion of aluminum atoms+Layer 7.
P+The layer 7 can provide an effect of preventing recombination of electrons and improving collection efficiency of generated carriers, that is, a so-called BSF (Back Surface Field) effect.
The electrode formed by the electrode layer 5 and the alloy layer 6 is a back surface electrode 8 shown in fig. 1. Therefore, the back electrode 8 is formed using a paste composition, and for example, the back electrode 8 can be formed by coating the back electrode so as to cover the contact hole 9 (opening) of the antireflection film (passivation film) 3 provided on the back surface, drying the coating if necessary, and then firing the dried coating. Here, by forming the back electrode 8 using the paste composition of the present invention, high conversion efficiency can be obtained in the solar cell. Further, since the paste composition of the present invention can suppress the change in viscosity (thickening) with time, it has good applicability (printability) even when a certain time has elapsed from the preparation.
2. Paste composition
The paste composition for a solar cell comprises aluminum powder, an organic vehicle and a glass frit, and is characterized in that the glass frit comprises 50 to 90 mol% of Sb2O3
As described above, by using the paste composition, a back electrode of a solar cell such as a PERC type solar cell can be formed. That is, the paste composition of the present invention can be used for forming a back electrode for a solar cell, which is electrically contacted with a silicon substrate through an opening (contact hole) provided in a passivation film formed on the silicon substrate. Further, according to the paste composition of the present invention, in a crystalline solar cell (in particular, a PERC type solar cell), high conversion efficiency can be obtained, and the structure of the glass frit is stable, and the viscosity change (thickening) with time can be suppressed.
The paste composition comprises aluminum powder, an organic vehicle and a glass frit as constituent components. Further, by including aluminum powder (conductive material) in the paste composition, a sintered body formed by firing a coating film of the paste composition can exhibit conductivity to be electrically connected to the silicon substrate.
(aluminum powder)
The aluminum powder contained in the paste composition exerts conductivity in the aluminum electrode layer formed by firing the paste composition. Further, the aluminum powder is formed by forming an aluminum-silicon alloy layer 6 and p between the aluminum-silicon alloy layer and the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 when the aluminum powder is fired into a paste composition+Layer 7 to obtain the BSF effect.
The shape of the aluminum powder is not particularly limited, and may be any of spherical, elliptical, amorphous, scaly, fibrous, and the like. If the aluminum powder is spherical in shape, the electrode layer 5 formed of the paste composition has a high filling property with aluminum powder, and the resistance can be effectively reduced.
In addition, when the aluminum powder is spherical in shape, contact points between the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 and the aluminum powder increase in the electrode layer 5 formed of the paste composition, and thus a good BSF layer is easily formed. When the aluminum powder is spherical, the average particle diameter as measured by a laser diffraction method is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 μm.
The aluminum powder may be composed of only high-purity aluminum or may contain an aluminum alloy. Examples of the aluminum alloy include an aluminum-silicon alloy and an aluminum-boron alloy.
In the present invention, the aluminum powder contains an aluminum-silicon alloy, and the silicon content in the aluminum powder is preferably 10 to 25 atomic%. The silicon content is more preferably 15 to 22 atomic%. By using such an aluminum powder, the adhesion to the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 is further improved.
In any case where the aluminum powder is composed of only high-purity aluminum or an aluminum alloy, the presence of unavoidable impurities and trace amounts of additional elements derived from the raw materials are not excluded.
(organic vehicle)
As the organic vehicle, a material in which various additives and resins are dissolved in a solvent as necessary can be used. Alternatively, the resin may be used as an organic vehicle without including a solvent.
The solvent may be a known solvent, and specific examples thereof include diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, and the like.
Examples of the various additives include an antioxidant, an anticorrosive agent, an antifoaming agent, a thickener, a tackifier (tagfider), a coupling agent, an electrostatic charge imparting agent, a polymerization inhibitor, a thixotropic agent, and an anti-settling agent. Specifically, for example, a polyethylene glycol ester compound, a polyethylene glycol ether compound, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester compound, a sorbitan alkyl ester compound, an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid compound, a phosphate ester compound, an amidoamine (amidoamine) salt of a polyester acid, an oxidized polyethylene compound, a fatty acid amide wax, or the like can be used.
As the resin, known types can be used, and two or more of thermosetting resins such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose nitrate, polyvinyl butyral, phenol resin, melamine resin, urea resin, xylene resin, alkyd resin, unsaturated polyester resin, acrylic resin, polyimide resin, furan resin, polyurethane resin, isocyanate compound, cyanate ester compound, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS resin, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacetal, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene oxide, polysulfone, polyimide, polyethersulfone, polyarylate, polyether ether ketone, polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone resin, and the like can be used in combination.
The proportions of the resin, the solvent and the various additives contained in the organic vehicle can be arbitrarily adjusted, and for example, the same component ratio as that of a known organic vehicle can be set.
The content of the organic vehicle is not particularly limited, and is, for example, preferably 20 to 45 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 30 to 35 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the aluminum powder, from the viewpoint of good printability.
(glass frit)
The glass frit is considered to have an action of contributing to the reaction between the aluminum powder and silicon and the sintering of the aluminum powder itself.
In the paste composition of the present invention, the glass frit (100 mol%) contains 50 to 90 mol% of Sb2O3. By using such a glass frit, the paste composition can be inhibited from changing in viscosity (thickening) with time, and therefore has good coatability (printability) even when a certain time has elapsed from the start of preparation. Sb in glass frit2O3The content of the glass frit is preferably 50 to 90 mol%, and particularly 52 to 70 mol%, since the structure of the glass frit is particularly stable and the change in viscosity (thickening) with time can be suppressed. In addition, when Sb is present2O3When the content is less than 50 mol%, the conversion efficiency (Eff) of the solar cell may decrease, and the paste composition may thicken to 5Pa · s or more with time. In addition, when Sb is present2O3If the content is more than 90 mol%, vitrification is difficult,may not be used as an electrode material. In addition, when Sb is present2O3When the content is more than 70 mol% and 90 mol% or less, the glass frit can be used as an electrode material, but the structure of the glass frit may be reduced within an allowable range for practical use due to a difference in temperature, pressure, or manufacturing conditions of the glass frit.
The glass frit preferably further contains SiO2And/or B2O3As for removing Sb2O3The remainder of the process. As the glass frit, it is desired that it is made of Sb2O3-B2O32 component(s) of (1), or Sb2O3-B2O3-SiO2Any of the 3 components in (1) above may be contained, but other components may be contained within a range not affecting the effect of the present invention. Except for Sb2O3The content of other components is not limited, B2O3The content of (b) is preferably 30 to 40 mol%, more preferably 30 to 36 mol%. SiO 22The content of (b) is preferably 0 to 14 mol%, more preferably 0 to 5 mol%. As addition of SiO2The lower limit of the content is preferably 1 mol%.
The content of the glass frit is not particularly limited, and is preferably 0.5 to 5.0 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the aluminum powder, for example. In this case, the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 and the antireflection film 3 (passivation film) have good adhesion and the resistance is not easily increased.
As described above, the paste composition of the present invention is particularly preferably composed of: the aluminum powder contains 30 to 35 parts by mass of an organic vehicle and 0.5 to 5.0 parts by mass of a glass frit per 100 parts by mass of aluminum powder. By setting the range, high conversion efficiency can be obtained, and the structure of the glass frit is stable, and the change in viscosity (thickening) with time can be suppressed.
The paste composition of the present invention is suitable for forming an electrode layer of a solar cell (particularly, the back electrode 8 of a PERC type solar cell shown in fig. 1), for example. Therefore, the paste composition of the present invention can also be used as a solar cell back electrode forming agent.
