the residual liquid during the texturing is cleaned, so that the influence of acidic and alkaline substances on the battery knot making is reduced;
phosphorus oxychloride reacts with the silicon wafer to obtain phosphorus atoms. After a certain time, phosphorus atoms enter the surface layer of the silicon wafer and permeate and diffuse into the silicon wafer through gaps among the silicon atoms to form an interface of the N-type semiconductor and the P-type semiconductor;
because the diffusion junction forms a short circuit channel at the edge of the silicon wafer, photogenerated electrons collected by the front surface of the PN junction flow to the back surface of the PN junction along the region with phosphorus atoms diffused at the edge, and the short circuit is caused. Etching and removing PN junctions at the edge through plasma etching, so as to avoid short circuit at the edge;
the diffusion junction making process can form a layer of phosphorosilicate glass on the surface of the silicon wafer, and the influence on the efficiency of the laminated tile battery is reduced through the phosphorosilicate glass removing process;
etching the silicon wafer without the phosphorosilicate glass, and then producing a silicon dioxide layer on the front and rear surfaces of the battery piece through an oxygen high-temperature furnace at a certain temperature;
then, laminating an aluminum oxide passivation film layer in an ALD (atomic layer deposition) or PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) mode;
a silicon nitride film is laminated on the aluminum oxide film layer, the silicon nitride on the front surface plays a role in reducing reflection and passivating, and the silicon nitride film on the rear surface plays a role in protecting aluminum oxide;
laser grooving is carried out on the back of the coated silicon wafer;
the back and front sides are printed by screen printing, the small front and back electrodes are required to be in staggered positions after the printed patterns are cut, and then the sintering process is carried out
By using a light attenuation furnace or an electric injection furnace, the light attenuation of the battery cell is reduced
And finally, grading the battery test.
Adding an online laser cutting scribing process to the whole sintered laminated cell, entering the sintered laminated cell into a scribing detection position for appearance inspection and visually positioning an OK sheet (poor appearance detection can automatically shunt to an NG position), and freely setting a multi-track scribing machine or presetting a cache stack area according to an online production beat so as to realize online continuous feeding operation. And setting relevant parameters of the laser according to the optimal effect of cutting and scribing so as to realize higher cutting speed, narrower cutting heat affected zone and cutting line width, better uniformity, preset cutting depth and the like. After the automatic cutting is finished, the automatic sheet breaking mechanism of the online laser scribing machine is used for breaking sheets at the cutting position to realize natural separation of the small laminated tiles (the laser cutting surface is far away from the side of a PN junction to avoid leakage current caused by damage of the PN junction, the directions of the front surface and the back surface of the battery sheet are confirmed before the sheet is scribed and fed, and if the directions are opposite, a single 180-degree reversing device is required to be added);
then, carrying out interconnection and string combination on the small pieces;
and after the string is formed, the packaging of the laminated photovoltaic module is completed through the links of automatic string typesetting and converging, adhesive film and back plate laying, middle detection, laminating, trimming, framing, middle junction box curing, cleaning, testing and the like.
Since the step of fabricating the bulk of the substrate may have the step of providing a PN junction, a tunnel junction or a heterojunction, the printed gate line may also have a preferred arrangement in relation to the PN junction, the tunnel junction or the heterojunction. For example, the first secondary grid line burns through a PN junction, a tunneling junction or a passivation structure layer on the surface of a heterojunction of the substrate sheet and forms conductive contact with the PN junction, the tunneling junction or the heterojunction; and/or the second auxiliary grid line burns through the passivation structure layer on the surface of the PN junction, the tunneling junction or the heterojunction of the substrate sheet and forms conductive contact with the PN junction, the tunneling junction or the heterojunction; and/or the bus bars disposed on the top surface of the substrate sheet burn through PN junctions, tunneling junctions, or PN junctions of the heterojunction substrate sheet. For another example, the first secondary grid line does not burn through a PN junction, a tunneling junction or a passivation structure layer on the surface of the heterojunction of the substrate sheet; and/or the second auxiliary grid line does not burn through a passivation structure layer on the surface of a PN junction, a tunneling junction or a heterojunction of the substrate sheet; and/or the main grid line arranged on the top surface of the substrate sheet does not burn through the passivation structure layer on the surface of the PN junction, the tunneling junction or the heterojunction.
According to the scheme provided by the invention, the whole silver paste consumption of the grid lines can be less than that of the grid lines of the common solar cell, and the requirement on the interconnection reliability of the front electrode and the back electrode can still be met. Therefore, the solar cell provided by the invention can reduce the loss of the grid line, reduce the production cost and improve the technical competitiveness.
In addition, the grid lines on the top surface and the grid lines on the bottom surface of the solar cell provided by the invention can be combined in various structures, so that the solar cell provided by the invention can meet various use requirements of users on the premise of further reducing the loss of the grid lines.
