The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.
In view of the problem that the back positioning points are likely to cause the phenomena of hidden cracking of the solar cell and damage to the screen of the back printing machine in the printing process of the solar cell electrode, the present embodiment provides a method capable of effectively overcoming the above problems.
The method for printing the electrode of the solar cell protected by the invention will be described in detail below.
The embodiment provides a method for printing an electrode of a solar cell, which comprises the following steps:
s1, cleaning and texturing: cleaning and texturing the surface of the silicon wafer by using an alkali solution; the method specifically comprises the following steps:
and (3) cleaning and texturing the surface of the silicon wafer by using a 3-5% NaOH solution at the temperature of 80-90 ℃ to prepare a pyramid suede.
S2, diffusion: introducing a phosphorus source to diffuse on the surface of the silicon wafer after texturing to prepare a PN junction;

S8, laser grooving: and carrying out laser grooving on the back of the silicon wafer to obtain a positioning point, wherein the vertical distance from the highest point of the melting bulge of the positioning point to the back of the silicon wafer is not more than 10 micrometers. And preferably, the vertical distance from the highest point of the melting bulge of the positioning point to the back surface of the silicon wafer is 2-8 mu m.
The method specifically comprises the following steps: and setting the graph speed and/or power and/or frequency of the back positioning point as corresponding preset values so that the local concave-convex amplitude of the back positioning point generated by ablation is smaller, and the whole positioning point is white when the concave-convex amplitude is smaller.

Compared with the scheme before adjustment, the speed of the position patterns of the positioning points is reduced, the overlapping rate of the positioning patterns is reduced, and the local ablation and protrusion degree is reduced, so that the positioning points are white, the film layer is thin when the film is coated based on S7, and the film layer can be opened through to form good ohmic contact after grooving even if the local ablation and protrusion degree is small.
In another embodiment, when the positioning point and line power or frequency of the equipment can be adjusted independently, the speed of the back positioning point pattern is set to 800-Z(ii) a Or, the speed of the back positioning point pattern is 800-Z(ii) a Or, the speed of the back positioning point pattern is 800-ZThe back anchor point can also be made white. It should be noted that the speed of the front back positioning point pattern is adjusted to 800-. This embodiment compares to the scheme before adjustment by reducing the power or frequency of the anchor pointOr in the case that both are reduced in adaptability, because the film layer is thinner during the coating of the S7 film, even if the overlapping rate between the positioning patterns is reduced, the local ablation and the protrusion degree are reduced to make the positioning points white, and the film layer can be opened to form a good ohmic contact during the grooving process.
