Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laminated solar cells, in particular to a high-efficiency heterojunction cell structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In the current industry, the mass production efficiency of the PERC battery is continuously improved and gradually approaches the limit of the conversion efficiency. Mass production cell conversion efficiency is based on current solar cells with heterojunction structures.
In the existing heterojunction cell structure, the light-facing surface is generally a laminated structure of doped amorphous silicon/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/silicon substrate, wherein the doped amorphous silicon layer needs to ensure sufficient conductivity and passivation effect. Therefore, the thickness of the doped amorphous silicon layer cannot be too thin, and is generally not less than 20nm, but the parasitic absorption of the doped amorphous silicon layer to light is very large due to the large thickness, that is, the doped amorphous silicon layer can absorb a large part of incident light and cannot be converted into photogenerated current, so that the heterojunction cell produced in mass production in the industry usually shows high open-circuit voltage and low current characteristics.
On the contrary, when the thickness of the amorphous silicon is reduced, the passivation effect of the heterojunction characteristics is greatly reduced, and the resistance is greatly increased, thereby greatly reducing the fill factor and the open circuit voltage of the heterojunction battery.
Therefore, there is a need to improve the structure of the heterojunction cell in the prior art to solve the contradictory problem of the doped amorphous silicon layer, so as to improve the cell conversion efficiency.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a high-efficiency heterojunction cell structure, including:
the middle cell structure comprises a first surface 61 and a second surface 62 which are oppositely arranged up and down, and an n-type monocrystalline silicon layer 6 is arranged in the middle cell structure;
the front cell structure is stacked on the first surface 61 and comprises a front intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 5, a p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4 and a p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3 which are sequentially stacked along the direction far away from the first surface 61;
the middle cell structure is stacked on the back cell structure, the second surface 62 is attached to the back cell structure, and the back cell structure comprises a back intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 7, an n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8 and an n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 which are sequentially stacked along the direction far away from the second surface 62;
wherein the thickness ranges of the p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3 and the n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 are both 1-5 nm, and the thickness ranges of the p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4 and the n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8 are both 10-20 nm.
Specifically, the heterojunction cell structure is set into a front cell structure, a middle cell structure and a back cell structure; the structure of the intermediate cell is kept unchanged, and an n-type monocrystalline silicon layer 6 is still arranged as a substrate;
the front cell structure is stacked on the middle cell structure, the front cell structure is set to be a laminated structure comprising a front intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 5, a p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4 and a p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3, wherein the thickness of the p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4 ranges from 10nm to 20nm, the thickness of the p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3 ranges from 1 nm to 5nm, and therefore the combined structure of the p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4 and the p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3 is used for replacing the p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3 (the thickness is about 20nm) in the prior art;
similarly, the back cell structure is stacked below the middle cell structure, and sequentially stacked with a back intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 7, an n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8 and an n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 along the opposite direction, wherein the thickness of the n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8 is 10-20 nm, and the thickness of the n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 is 1-5 nm, so that the n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8 and the n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 are combined to replace the n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 (with the thickness of about 20nm) in the prior art;
through the arrangement, the doped amorphous silicon layer in the existing battery structure is replaced by two layers, wherein one layer is composed of doped hydrogenated silicon oxide; on the premise of ensuring the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor of the heterojunction cell structure, the thickness of the doped amorphous silicon layer is greatly reduced, the parasitic absorption of the doped amorphous silicon layer to light can be greatly reduced, and the short-circuit current of the cell is further improved; therefore, the contradictory problem of the thickness and the performance of the amorphous silicon layer doped in the whole cell structure is solved, and the cell conversion efficiency is greatly improved.
The existing heterojunction cell structure is formed by doping amorphous silicon/intrinsic amorphous silicon/silicon wafers to form carrier selective contact, so that the heterojunction cell has good passivation effect on one hand and can also provide carrier transportation on the other hand. Therefore, the thickness of the doped amorphous silicon layer in the structure has a large requirement, the current mass production of the doped amorphous silicon layer is generally about 20nm, the parasitic absorption of the doped amorphous silicon layer with the thickness to light is very large, and the short-circuit current of the battery can be greatly reduced. Although the industry has tried thinner doped amorphous silicon layers, when their thickness is reduced, on the one hand, the deposition quality is deteriorated and on the other hand, the passivation effect and the carrier transport effect are also deteriorated, i.e. there is an contradictory problem that this trade-off between performance and thickness is difficult to balance.
In practical use, in the heterojunction cell structure of the present embodiment, carriers composed of the impurity amorphous silicon layer/doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/silicon wafer are selectively contacted, that is, the impurity amorphous silicon layer in the original structure is replaced by two layers, wherein one layer is composed of doped hydrogenated silicon oxide. Therefore, the thickness of the doped amorphous silicon layer can be greatly reduced to about 3nm, and the absorption of light is also greatly reduced. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor of the heterojunction battery, the short-circuit current density of the battery can be greatly improved, so that the heterojunction battery structure has higher efficiency advantage.
Further, the thickness of both the p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3 and the n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 was 3nm, and the thickness of both the p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4 and the n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8 was 12 nm.
Further, the front cell structure further includes a front TCO layer 2 stacked on the p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3 along a direction away from the first surface 61; the back cell structure further comprises a back TCO layer 10 stacked on the n-doped amorphous silicon layer 9 in a direction away from the second surface 62.
In practical use, the heterojunction cell structure of this embodiment divides the conventional doped amorphous silicon layer into two layers, one layer is a doped amorphous silicon layer and the other layer is a doped silicon oxide layer. That is, the original battery structure is composed of:
TCO/p-type doped amorphous silicon layer (about 20 nm)/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/n-type single crystal silicon substrate/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 (about 20nm)/TCO structure
(or an inverted structure/mirror structure: TCO/n-type doped amorphous silicon layer (about 20 nm)/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/n-type single crystal silicon substrate/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/p-type doped amorphous silicon layer (about 20nm)/TCO structure) ",
the changes are as follows:
TCO/p-type doped amorphous silicon layer (about 3 nm)/p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer (about 12 nm)/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/n-type single crystal silicon substrate/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer (about 12 nm)/n-type doped amorphous silicon layer (about 3nm)/TCO structure
(or an inverted structure/mirror structure: TCO/n-type doped amorphous silicon layer (about 3 nm)/n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer (about 12 nm)/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/n-type single crystal silicon substrate/intrinsic amorphous silicon layer/p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer (about 12 nm)/p-type doped amorphous silicon layer (about 3nm)/TCO structure) ".
Therefore, the thickness of the doped amorphous silicon layer with the thickness of about 20nm in the original structure is reduced to about 3nm, the parasitic absorption of the doped amorphous silicon layer to light is greatly reduced, and the short-circuit current of the battery is further improved.
Further, the front cell structure further comprises a front electrode 1 arranged on the front TCO layer 2; the back cell structure further comprises a back electrode 11, which is arranged on the back TCO layer 10.
In practical use, the front surface and the back surface of the heterojunction cell structure are also respectively provided with electrodes for leading out current.
Further, the front TCO layer 2 and the back TCO layer 10 are both metal oxide layers and/or doped composition layers with metal oxides as main components, and the oxides are one or more of zinc oxide, indium oxide, titanium oxide and tungsten oxide; the materials of the front electrode 1 and the back electrode 11 are one or more of gold, silver, copper and aluminum.
In practical use, the TCO layer is a metal oxide layer, or a component layer formed by a combination of a metal oxide and a remainder doping thereof. Among them, the material of the metal oxide is not limited to the above.
In a similar way, the materials of the two electrodes are not limited, and a good conductive effect can be ensured.
Further, the doping elements of the p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4 and the p-type doped amorphous silicon layer 3 are one or more of boron, aluminum and gallium; the doping elements of the n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8 and the n-type doped amorphous silicon layer 9 are phosphorus.
Similarly, the doping elements of the doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer and the doped amorphous silicon layer are not limited to the above types, and the corresponding functional effects of the functional layers can be ensured.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for manufacturing a high-efficiency heterojunction battery structure, including the steps of:
step A: texturing is carried out on the silicon wafer, a textured structure with the side length of the pyramid base being 1-10 mu m is prepared, and an n-type monocrystalline silicon layer 6 is formed;
and B: intrinsic amorphous silicon deposition is carried out on the first surface 61 of the n-type monocrystalline silicon layer 6 to form a front intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 5;
step D: carrying out p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide deposition on the front intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 5 to form a p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4;
step F: depositing p-type doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon on the p-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 4 to form a p-type doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer;
step G: after the heterojunction cell structure is turned over, intrinsic amorphous silicon deposition is carried out on the second surface 62 of the n-type monocrystalline silicon layer 6 to form a back intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 7; wherein, the first surface 61 and the second surface 62 are two surfaces of the n-type monocrystalline silicon layer 6 which are arranged oppositely up and down;

step K: n-type doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon deposition is performed on the n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8 to form an n-type doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer.
The preparation method provided by the embodiment of the invention is used for preparing the high-efficiency heterojunction battery structure, and the process implementation steps are as follows:
texturing → front intrinsic amorphous silicon deposition → first hydrogen plasma treatment → p-type hydrogenated silicon oxide deposition → second hydrogen plasma treatment → p-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon deposition → back intrinsic amorphous silicon deposition → third hydrogen plasma treatment → n-type hydrogenated silicon oxide deposition → fourth hydrogen plasma treatment → n-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon deposition.
Further, before step D, the method further comprises:

step H: performing third hydrogen plasma treatment on the back intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 7;
after step I, the method further comprises:
step J: the fourth hydrogen plasma treatment is performed on the n-type doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer 8.
In practice, furthermore, the key point of the preparation process is that the hydrogenation treatment is carried out both before and after the step of depositing the doped hydrogenated silicon oxide layer. Namely, the hydrogen plasma treatment is carried out on the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer at the bottom layer before deposition, and the hydrogen plasma treatment is carried out after deposition, wherein the two treatment processes are slightly different, thereby being beneficial to realizing better passivation effect.
Further, after step K, the method further comprises:
step L: TCO layer deposition is carried out on two sides of the heterojunction cell structure, and a front TCO layer 2 and a back TCO layer 10 are respectively formed.

and step N: and curing the heterojunction cell structure.
In practical operation, after the above process steps, the process further comprises the process steps of: front side TCO deposition → back side TCO deposition → front and back side screen printing metallization pattern (making electrodes) → curing. Thus, a bulk heterojunction cell structure was prepared.
In actual practice, the specific embodiment of the overall manufacturing process comprises the following steps:
