Description

Low-cost high-efficiency solar cell and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a low-cost high-efficiency solar cell and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The passivated contact cell is a novel high conversion efficiency cell, and the conversion efficiency can reach 24%. The compatibility with a conventional production line is better, and the upgrading can be completed on an N-type conventional production line. Compared with heterojunction batteries and back junction batteries, the passivated contact battery has a relatively simple structure, is high in feasibility of mass production, and has certain advantages in production cost. At present, silver paste is adopted for realizing metallization of the battery, and the silver has the advantages of good conductivity, low work function, good weldability, difficulty in forming deep level defects in silicon and the like. But the price is higher because the content of the compound in the crust is low; furthermore, silver paste is often used to form ohmic contacts by etching a portion of the silicon through the glass frit therein, thus requiring thicker polysilicon films. Meanwhile, the silver paste corrodes the passivation layer and the polysilicon, so that the J0 of the area is higher than that of the non-metal contact area, and the passivation performance of the area is affected. Therefore, how to reduce or even eliminate the recombination of the metal region becomes the key of the future battery improvement.
Disclosure of Invention
The purpose of the invention is: the solar cell overcomes the defects in the prior art and has low cost and high conversion efficiency.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a low-cost, high-efficiency solar cell includes a substrate,
a diffusion layer located on the upper surface of the substrate,
a passivation layer on the upper surface of the diffusion layer,
a silicon oxide layer on the lower surface of the substrate,
a doped polysilicon layer located on the lower surface of the silicon oxide layer,
a hydrogenated transparent conductive film located on the lower surface of the doped polysilicon layer,
and an upper electrode on the upper surface of the passivation layer and a lower electrode on the lower surface of the hydrogenated transparent conductive film.
According to the invention, the hydrogenated TCO film is adopted to replace a passivation layer on the surface of the polycrystalline silicon, and as the TCO film has good electrical property, the TCO film can form good ohmic contact with the slurry, and the slurry is not required to be burnt through to be in contact with the polycrystalline silicon, the non-burnt-through type slurry such as aluminum slurry can be adopted to replace silver slurry, so that the cost is reduced.
A TCO film is not adopted in a crystalline silicon battery in the prior art, because a common TCO film has good optical performance and electrical performance but poor passivation capability, the TCO film is generally used for a heterojunction or thin film battery, and because the passivation performance of amorphous silicon in the type of battery is far higher than that of the crystalline silicon battery, the amorphous silicon absorbs light seriously and causes low current, a transparent conductive film is needed to enhance the optical absorption and electrical transportation capability, so that the current is improved. The passivation performance of the crystalline silicon cell is slightly inferior to that of the crystalline silicon cell, but the optical absorption is better, so that the good passivation performance and the good electrical transport capacity are required, and the passivation capacity of the TCO film can be improved after the hydrogenation of the TCO film is creatively found in the invention.
Further, the substrate is an N-type substrate or a P-type substrate,
further, the diffusion layer is a p + layer or an n + layer,
when the diffusion layer is a p + layer, the passivation layer is a silicon oxide/aluminum oxide/silicon nitride lamination layer, the doped polysilicon layer is an n + polysilicon layer,
when the diffusion layer is n +, the passivation layer is a silicon oxide/silicon nitride lamination layer, and the doped polycrystalline silicon layer is a p + polycrystalline silicon layer.
Selection on battery structure: for example, 1) p +/p-Si/SiOx/n + poly and n +/n-Si/SiOx// p + poly structures, which are cell structures with pn junctions on the back side;
2) p +/n-Si/SiOx/n + poly and n +/p-Si/SiOx// p + poly structures, which are the cell structures with pn junctions on the front side;
when the front diffusion layer is p +, the silicon oxide/aluminum oxide/silicon nitride laminated layer can be selected as a passivation layer, and when the front diffusion layer is n +, the aluminum oxide can not be selected as one of the passivation layers, because the n + diffusion generally adopts 5-valent elements, and the aluminum is 3-valent elements, when the aluminum element enters the diffusion layer due to sintering, the two elements can compensate each other, the electron concentration is reduced, the minority carrier lifetime is reduced, and the battery efficiency is finally influenced.
Further, the hydrogenated transparent conductive film is selected from one of AZO H, IO H, IWO H and FTO H.
Furthermore, the upper electrode is made of silver paste or silver-aluminum paste, the lower electrode is made of aluminum paste, the hydrogenated TCO film is adopted to replace a passivation layer on the surface of the polycrystalline silicon, the TCO film has good electrical performance and can form good ohmic contact with the paste, the paste is not required to be burnt through to be contacted with the polycrystalline silicon, and therefore the non-burnt-through type paste such as the aluminum paste can be adopted to replace the silver paste, the cost is reduced, and meanwhile, the silver resource is saved.
Another object of the invention is: the preparation method of the high-efficiency solar cell with low cost has the advantages of simple process and low production cost.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a method for preparing a low-cost, high-efficiency solar cell, comprising the steps of:
texturing: texturing the substrate to form a textured structure with a light trapping effect;
diffusion: forming a diffusion layer on an upper surface of a substrate;
etching: removing the pn junction on the lower surface of the substrate;
and (3) oxidation: forming a silicon oxide layer on the lower surface of the substrate;

removing BSG and PSG;
depositing a passivation layer: silicon oxide is formed by thermal oxidation or PECVD, aluminum oxide is deposited by ALD or PECVD, and silicon nitride is deposited by PECVD;
depositing a hydrogenated transparent conductive film: hydrogenating the transparent conductive film on the outer side of the doped polysilicon by adopting a PVD (physical vapor deposition) or RPD (reverse plasma deposition) technology;
upper and lower electrodes are formed.
Further, the silicon oxide layer is formed by LPCVD, thermal oxidation or wet oxidation, and the thickness of the silicon oxide layer is 0.5-3 nm.
Furthermore, the doped amorphous silicon adopts LPCVD or PECVD mode, the forming temperature of the polysilicon layer is 600-.
Further, the hydrogenated transparent conductive film is one of AZO H, IO H, IWO H and FTO H, and the thickness is 30-150 nm;
further, the upper electrode and the lower electrode are formed by adopting screen printing and sintering, aluminum paste is printed on one side of the hydrogenated transparent conductive film, silver paste or silver-aluminum paste is printed on one side of the passivation layer, and electrode contact is formed by sintering at the temperature of 850 ℃ under 700-.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention has the beneficial effects that:
according to the invention, the passivation layer on the surface of the polycrystalline silicon is replaced by the hydrogenated TCO film, and the TCO film has good electrical property, can form good ohmic contact with the slurry, and does not need the slurry to burn through to contact with the polycrystalline silicon, so that the non-burn-through type slurry such as aluminum slurry can be used for replacing silver slurry, and the cost is reduced.
The solar cell of the present invention has high efficiency mainly because: 1. the hydrogenated transparent oxide film ensures the passivation effect, and 2, the transparent oxide film has good conductivity, so that no burn-through slurry is needed, the slurry does not burn through the film and the polysilicon, and the passivation loss of a part of metal areas caused by the burn-through slurry burning through the passivation film and the polysilicon is reduced.
