Description

Preparation method of novel all-back electrode passivation contact battery and product thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a preparation method of a novel all-back electrode passivation contact cell and a product thereof.
Background
At present, environmental problems are concerned, the large-scale application of new energy is urgent, solar energy can be regarded as inexhaustible energy, and the crystalline silicon solar cell has higher cost performance under the continuous progress of the technology. In recent years, single crystal silicon batteries such as: the structural superiority of PERC and TOPCon has gained industry-consistent acceptance, but due to certain limitations, further improvement of photoelectric conversion performance is still limited, so that the field of view needs to be further widened to obtain higher cost performance.
In recent years, the PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) solar cell with the p-type monocrystalline silicon substrate has been produced in a large-scale industrialized mode, but the highest conversion efficiency of a large-area monocrystalline PERC cell laboratory is only 24.06%, and the mass production level is about 23.5%. And most recombination losses are due to metal contacts when the efficiency of silicon solar cells approaches 23%. At present, the mass production efficiency of the large-scale expansion TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contacts) and HJT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer) batteries reaches 24.5 percent. The evolution from PERC to TOPCon and HJT is a constant improvement in passivation, according to a limiting efficiency of 28%. Passivation contacts have therefore been a focus of research in the photovoltaic industry.
The full back electrode passivation contact cell is the highest level of crystalline silicon research and development and manufacture, and is currently becoming a hot spot for the research and development of new generation technology of solar cells. The doped polysilicon/microcrystalline silicon film with the full coverage of the back surface is adopted for passivation, and the passivation contact is one-dimensional, namely, the back surface recombination is effectively reduced, the open-circuit voltage and the filling factor are improved, and meanwhile, the short-circuit current is improved due to the fact that the front surface is not shielded, so that the higher battery efficiency is obtained. The full back electrode passivation contact battery is the biggest difference from the conventional passivation contact battery in that the contact electrodes of PN junction, substrate and emission area are all made on the back of the battery in an interdigital shape, so that the shading of the front surface metal grid line is completely eliminated, meanwhile, the influence of the front surface anti-reflection structure on electrode contact is not required to be considered, and more optimization space and huge potential are provided for the front surface light trapping structure and lower reflectivity. However, the technical disadvantage is that the process steps are complex, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency and the production yield are seriously affected.
The information disclosed in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is known to a person skilled in the art.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly aims to provide a preparation method of a novel full back electrode passivation contact battery, which ensures conversion efficiency and simplifies the process flow and improves the production yield of the full back electrode passivation contact battery in more than ten complicated process steps of the existing full back electrode passivation contact technology.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a preparation method of a novel all-back electrode passivation contact battery comprises the following specific steps:
s1: double-sided polishing: the monocrystalline silicon wafer is used as a matrix, and surface morphology treatment is carried out on the monocrystalline silicon wafer;
s2: depositing a tunneling oxide layer and an intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer: growing a tunneling oxide layer and an intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer on one side of a monocrystalline silicon wafer by adopting an LPCVD/PECVD/PVD mode, and marking the tunneling oxide layer and the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer as the back side;
s3: interdigital pattern: printing on the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer on the back through boron slurry and phosphorus slurry to respectively form an interdigital boron-doped fine gate pattern and a phosphorus-doped fine gate pattern;
s4: high temperature annealing and ectopic activation: forming an interdigital n+ layer and a interdigital p+ layer on the back surface respectively through high-temperature annealing in a thermal oxidation mode; the doping concentration is mainly determined by the content of the different element slurry, namely boron slurry and phosphorus slurry, and the printing height. And then activating the silicon-based ectopic element, wherein the sheet resistance of the n+ layer is controlled to be 60-100 ohms, and the sheet resistance of the p+ layer is controlled to be 100-200 ohms.
S5: isolation tape between N/P (tree): performing laser film opening at the interdigital P/N juncture to expose the N/P type silicon substrate;
s6: front surface field: pickling to remove the front surface of the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer, which is made of HF/HNO 3 The corrosion rates of the silicon and the tunneling oxide layer are higher, compared with the chained HF+alkali polishing around platingThe method can clean the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer on a chain machine by one-time etching. Forming a front suede by using a groove type alkali velvet making mode; meanwhile, borosilicate glass and phosphosilicate glass generated in the step S4 are removed in a pickling and efficient cleaning mode, so that a clean and efficient surface is obtained; and then shallow boron doping is carried out, a front emitter is formed on the front surface, and the sheet resistance of the p+ layer on the front surface is 200-300 ohms.
S7: passivation layer: depositing an AlOx passivation layer and a SiNx passivation layer on the front surface and the back surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer at the same time;
s8: screen printing: screen printing on the back side to form p+ finger and n+ finger; and sintering to obtain the finished product.
Further, in step S1, an n/p type silicon wafer with high minority carrier lifetime is used as a substrate, and alkali/hydrogen peroxide pre-cleaning is performed in a groove type machine, wherein alkali and H 2 O 2 The volume ratio of (1): 1-1:3, the temperature is 70-90 ℃ and the time is 2-6min. Organic and particulate matters on the surface of the original silicon wafer can be effectively removed; and then polishing is carried out in an alkali solution, wherein the volume ratio of the alkali to the polishing additive is 10:1-5:1, the temperature is 70-90 ℃ and the time is 2-6min, and the corrosion of alkali can be slowed down by the molecular adsorption action of the polishing additive, so that better flatness is formed. Specifically, an n-type silicon wafer with high minority carrier lifetime can be used as a silicon substrate, and the resistivity of the n-type silicon wafer is 0.3-1.5 omega cm, and the minority carrier lifetime is the same as that of the n-type silicon wafer>1ms. Or a p-type silicon wafer with high minority carrier lifetime is used as a silicon substrate, the resistivity is 1-2 omega cm, and the minority carrier lifetime is prolonged>0.5ms. The improvement of minority carrier lifetime has a larger gain on efficiency, but the resistivity needs to be balanced to avoid affecting the contact performance, which is a process of balancing minority carrier lifetime and resistivity with each other.
Further, in step S2, a good decoupling layer and a contact volume layer can be formed, wherein the decoupling layer, that is, the tunneling oxide layer, can effectively block the contact volume layer from directly contacting the silicon substrate, and the contact volume layer, that is, the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer, forms a container similar to a container filled with electrons/holes after being doped with boron and phosphorus, and can form a good contact. The thickness of the tunneling oxide layer is 1-2.5nm, an effective barrier cannot be formed when the thickness is lower than 1nm, and tunneling is difficult to form when the thickness is higher than 2.5 nm; the thickness of the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer is 100-500nm. A thickness of 100nm or more can form better contact performance, but not too high, and a parasitic absorption higher than 500nm can generate low collection rate of short-circuit current density.
Further, in step S3, the desired n+ layer and p+ layer may be formed by screen printing in a patterning manner at one time. Respectively printing boron slurry and phosphorus slurry on the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer to form an interdigital pattern, wherein the boron doped fine gate pattern region forms a p+ layer, and the line width of the p+ layer is 70-120 mu m; below 70 μm does not facilitate alignment of electrode prints; higher than 120 μm may lead to increased surface recombination, resulting in unnecessary losses; the phosphorus doped fine grid pattern region forms an n+ layer, and the line width of the n+ layer is 70-120 mu m; likewise, less than 70 μm is detrimental to alignment of electrode printing; higher than 120 μm may result in increased recombination, causing unnecessary losses; the line spacing between the p+ layer and the n+ layer is 10-30 μm. The interval is lower than 10 mu m, which is not beneficial to blocking the transverse current conduction of n/p, and leads to the increase of the leakage rate; but above 30, excessive losses are incurred to collect current.
Further, in step S4, the high temperature annealing is performed with aerobic pushing at 950 ℃, and the process time is 2 hours; wherein the surface of the n+ layer has a maximum concentration of 1-6X10 20 atoms/cm 3 The concentration reaches 1X 10 20 atoms/cm 3 Only good contact can be made, but above 6 x 10 20 atoms/cm 3 Additional auger recombination may result. Junction depths of 0.1-0.2 μm, below 0.1 μm are detrimental to forming good ohmic contacts, above 0.2 μm result in heavier auger recombination; the highest concentration of the surface of the p+ layer is 1-10X10 19 atoms/cm 3 Since the solid solubility of boron in silicon is limited to 1×10 20 atoms/cm 3 Under the condition of the existing slurry, the concentration reaches 1 multiplied by 10 19 atoms/cm 3 Only good contact can be made, but above 10 x 10 19 atoms/cm 3 Additional auger recombination may result. Junction depths of 0.3-0.6 μm, with lower p+ surface concentrations, require greater than 0.3 μm for good ohmic contact, but greater than 0.6 μm also results in heavier auger recombination; then silicon-based ectopic element activation is carried out, and an n+ layer is formedThe sheet resistance of the p+ layer is controlled to be 60-100 ohms and the sheet resistance of the p+ layer is controlled to be 100-200 ohms. The current is facilitated to be conveyed, and the recombination caused by carrier transportation is reduced.
In step S5, compared with the mask back etching, the method has the advantages of simple process flow and low cost, and the method performs laser film opening at the P/N interface of the back interdigital to expose the N/P type silicon substrate, wherein the back N type layer and the P type layer are mutually alternated, and a PN junction is formed on the N/P interface. The slotting depth is 2-5 mu m, which is mainly limited by the inward expansion depth of n+/p+ in Si, and better insulation can be formed when the slotting depth is higher than 2 mu m, but unnecessary current loss can be caused when the slotting depth is higher than 5 mu m, the line width is 15-45 mu m, the interval is lower than 15 mu m, and the transverse current conduction of P/N is not blocked, so that the leakage rate is increased; but above 45 μm, excessive losses are incurred to collect current.
Further, in step S6, the front side of the intrinsic silicon layer is removed by chain pickling/acid etching, which is performed by HF/HNO 3 The corrosion rates of the silicon and the oxide layer are higher, and compared with the round plating cleaning of chain type HF (high frequency) alkali polishing, the round plating cleaning can etch the intrinsic silicon layer on a chain type machine at one time. Forming a good front suede by using a groove type alkali velvet making mode; the edge of the silicon wafer inevitably diffuses phosphorus or boron during diffusion due to thermal oxidation. The photo-generated electrons collected at the front side of the PN junction flow to the back side of the PN junction along the region where phosphorus or boron is diffused along the edge, causing a short circuit. Therefore, the phosphosilicate glass layer and the borosilicate glass layer are required to be removed in battery production, and the phosphosilicate glass layer and the borosilicate glass layer are removed in an acid washing and efficient cleaning mode, so that a clean and efficient surface is obtained. And then shallow boron doping is carried out on the front surface, a front emitter is formed on the front surface, and the sheet resistance of the p+ layer on the front surface is 200-300 ohms. The current is facilitated to be conveyed, and the recombination caused by carrier transportation is reduced.
Further, in step S7, a plasma atomic layer deposition (PEALD)/Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique is used to perform double-sided passivation on aluminum oxide (AlOx), where the thicknesses of the front and back AlOx passivation layers are 2-20nm; wherein, the thickness of the metal film is larger than 2nm, which can achieve good passivation effect, and too high causes cost waste and mismatch of metallization process; the front and back sides of the silicon nitride (SiNx) are plated in a PECVD mode, the thickness of the front and back SiNx passivation layers is 80-90nm, the thickness is the optimal range value of a blue film, light can be well absorbed, the refractive index is 1.8-2.1, the PID effect is considered, and excessive high refractive index can cause extinction absorption, so that current collection is not facilitated.
Further, in step S8, non-burn-through silver paste is adopted to form p+ finger and n+ finger through screen printing on the back surface, and the finished product is obtained through a sintering process at 700-850 ℃. The sintering temperature of the non-burn-through slurry can meet the requirement of contact performance at 700 ℃, but the sintering temperature higher than 850 ℃ can lead to silver to be internally expanded into Si, so that unnecessary metal compounding is caused. Therefore, the sintering temperature needs to be strictly controlled, and the performance of the finished product is ensured.
The second purpose of the invention is to produce a novel all-back electrode passivation contact battery according to the novel preparation method, thereby realizing the industrialized popularization of the all-back electrode passivation contact battery.
The novel full back electrode passivation contact battery takes an N/P type silicon wafer with high minority carrier lifetime as a matrix, wherein the front surface of the matrix is sequentially provided with a front surface field, an AlOx passivation layer and a SiNx passivation layer, the back surface of the matrix is sequentially provided with a tunneling oxide layer, a p+ layer formed by a boron-doped intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer, an n+ layer formed by a phosphorus-doped intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer, an AlOx passivation layer, a SiNx passivation layer, a p+ finger, an n+ finger and an isolation belt between N/P.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
according to the invention, an ultrathin tunneling oxide layer is formed on the back surface in a one-step low-temperature diffusion deposition mode, an intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer is formed in a low-pressure gas-phase chemical deposition mode, then a boron slurry and a phosphorus slurry are used for printing on the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer to form a selective boron and phosphorus doped region, the single-sided nature of the printing mode is benefited, the technological processes of polysilicon round plating removal, mask layer growth and high-temperature diffusion are omitted, round expansion caused by incapability of controlling the single-sided nature of gas flow in the high-temperature diffusion process is avoided, then boron and phosphorus are doped into the intrinsic microcrystalline silicon layer simultaneously by utilizing high-temperature annealing, wherein the boron doped fine gate pattern region forms a p+ layer, and the phosphorus doped fine gate pattern region forms an n+ layer. Activating the activity of doping elements in the p+ layer and the n+ layer through the activation of silicon-based ectopic elements; the current is facilitated to be conveyed, and the recombination caused by carrier transportation is reduced. The lateral conductivity is increased compared to the amorphous or nanocrystalline layer in the heterojunction. On the other hand, the n-type POLO (nPOLO) and the p-type POLO (pPOLO) contacts are separated through laser film opening, so that the direct contact of the p+ and n+ type polycrystalline silicon regions with high defects is avoided, and the strong recombination is generated. The process flow is simplified as a whole, the investment is reduced, the yield is improved by more than 10%, and the industrialized popularization is facilitated.
