Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a solar cell metal grid, in particular to a non-contact ink-jet printing forming manufacturing method of a solar cell metal grid with a laser in-situ film opening function.
Background
The solar cell is one of renewable green energy sources, can directly convert light energy into electric energy, and has the advantages incomparable with the traditional energy sources. Crystalline silicon solar cells, which are the mainstream products in the current photovoltaic industry, occupy 90% of the market share, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is over 24% at most. In the future, the crystalline silicon solar cell still occupies the mainstream of the market by virtue of the advantages of the crystalline silicon solar cell on core indexes such as conversion efficiency, process maturity and service life. In the manufacturing process of the crystalline silicon cell, an electrode is manufactured on the front surface of a silicon wafer to lead out photoelectrons, namely the manufacturing of a crystalline silicon solar cell grid is an extremely important link, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency and the production cost of the solar cell are directly influenced by the process performance of the crystalline silicon solar cell grid.
At present, most commercial crystalline silicon solar cell grids are based on the traditional contact screen printing technology, and the damage rate of the crystalline silicon wafer is high due to the contact manufacturing process. Meanwhile, due to the restriction of the particle size of the printing slurry and the mesh precision of the printing screen, the width of the formed grid is difficult to be lower than 60 mu m, and the manufacturing precision of the grid cannot be ensured. In addition, the screen printing process also has the problem of waste of precious metal paste. And the ink jet printing technology is considered as a new generation solar cell grid manufacturing technology to replace the traditional screen printing.
The ink-jet printing technology is a non-contact manufacturing process, can directly and accurately print on a silicon wafer under the condition of no contact with the silicon wafer, can reduce the width of a grid to be below 40 mu m, can realize non-uniform distribution of grid appearance according to design requirements, has high material utilization rate and simple process, and can be better realized in the grid manufacturing of a thin-sheet battery and a flexible battery compared with the traditional contact screen printing technology.
For solar cells, surface texturing and silicon nitride (SiNx) antireflection coatings are typically used to reduce light reflection in order to achieve sufficient absorption of solar rays. At present, in the prior art of ink-jet printing, a glass powder formula needs to be added into metal ink for ink-jet printing to etch through an insulating SiNx film, so that the aim of forming good ohmic contact between metal particles and a silicon substrate is fulfilled. However, the glass powder required in the ink-jet printing process has extremely high technological requirements in the preparation of nano-powder and the good dispersion of an ink system, and the core technology of the glass powder is monopolized by a few foreign companies all the time. Meanwhile, the dynamics behavior of Ag/Si ohmic contact formed by the glass powder and the SiNx film ablated by the silver particles is very complex, and the forming mechanism of the Ag/Si contact interface is not clear up to now. Therefore, how to effectively remove the SiNx film layer at low cost when the metal gate is subjected to spray printing is a key point for large-scale application of the spray printing metal gate.
