Description

Preparation method of TOPCon battery
Technical Field

Background
In order to improve the proportion of photovoltaic power generation, cost reduction and efficiency improvement are two major lines of photovoltaic manufacturing, the current mainstream photovoltaic cell is a crystalline silicon solar cell, the TOPCon technology becomes one of the most potential novel high-efficiency cell technologies due to the extremely high compatibility of the process route and the traditional PERC cell production line and the obvious efficiency gain, and the related research is increased day by day.
With the development and introduction of TOPCon battery technology, the conversion efficiency of industrialized n-type TOPCon batteries exceeds 24%. The preparation of an n + POLO structure is the core technology of the battery, and the conventional preparation schemes in the industry at present have two types: (1) thermal oxidation, LPCVD in-situ doping and high-temperature annealing; (2) thermal oxygen + LPCVD intrinsic deposition + diffusion doping. The intrinsic poly Si deposition rate adopted in the scheme (2) is far higher than that of in-situ deposition, the LPCVD process time can be effectively reduced, the in-situ deposition can provide a more excellent doping curve and a larger tunneling oxygen layer process window, and compared with the traditional PERC cell, the complexity and the process time of the whole process are increased by the two schemes, so that the corresponding manufacturing cost is increased. How to continue to improve the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic cell and reduce the process flow time, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost, is a common goal and direction in the photovoltaic industry.
The current technological process of the TOPCon battery mainly comprises the following steps:
scheme (1): alkali texturing → boron diffusion → BSG removal on the back, alkali polishing on the back → tunneling oxygen + N + amorphous silicon deposition → front surface unwinding and plating → annealing → front and back surface plating → printed electrode sintering;
scheme (2): alkali texturing → boron diffusion → back surface BSG removal, back surface alkali polishing → tunneling oxygen + intrinsic amorphous silicon deposition → phosphorus diffusion → front surface PSG removal → front surface wraparound plating → front and back surface plating → printed electrode, and sintering.
In the preparation aspect of the POLO structure, because the intrinsic deposition rate is far higher than that of in-situ deposition, the yield advantage is obvious in the same Poly Si thickness scheme (2), the crystallization process in the scheme (1) by annealing is simple and controllable, the detouring plating treatment can be carried out before crystallization without considering the detouring risk, the process steps are reduced, the front structure is free of etching risk (BSG protection) in the alkali polishing process, and the two schemes have defects in yield and process controllability respectively.
