Description

Solar cell preparation method, solar cell and cell assembly

The present application claims priority from the chinese patent office, application number 202210795205.8, entitled "solar cell fabrication method, solar cell and cell module," filed 7/2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaics, in particular to a solar cell preparation method, a solar cell and a cell assembly.

Background

In general, there are mainly the following three requirements for the electrodes of solar cells: higher carrier collection efficiency, lower preparation cost and good reliability.

However, in the prior art, the electrode preparation methods of the solar cell mainly include the following three methods: first, screen printing is mature in screen printing process, however, in screen printing, noble metal silver is required to be used as an electrode material, so that the cost is high. And secondly, laser transfer printing, namely, after forming silver paste on the transparent film layer and drying, irradiating a local area of the transparent film layer by using laser, separating the silver paste of the irradiated part from the transparent film layer, and falling the silver paste in the area of the solar cell body where an electrode is to be formed to form the electrode. In laser transfer printing, the light-transmitting film layer cannot be reused, and silver paste remains on the light-transmitting film layer, so that the cost of laser transfer printing is still high; meanwhile, the matching difficulty of the light-transmitting film layer and the laser process is high, for example, in the matching process of the light-transmitting film layer and the laser process, as silver paste with different proportions is different in solvent evaporation capacity, adhesive force between the paste and a carrier plate and the like, the parameters of laser are required to be adjusted for multiple times to adapt to the silver paste, so that the silver paste and the laser power can be matched well, and therefore, the laser transfer printing process is high in difficulty and low in production efficiency. Thirdly, electroplating has advantages in efficiency and cost compared with screen printing and laser transfer printing, but electroplating is easy to have the technical problems of coiling plating and the like, so that the yield and reliability are low, and mass production is not easy to realize.

In the solar cell, the positive electrode and the negative electrode may be located on the same side of the solar cell body, or may be disposed on opposite sides of the solar cell body, respectively.

Several examples are provided below to describe the structure and fabrication method of solar cells.

Example 1

A first embodiment provides a solar cell, referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the solar cell includes a solar cell body, and a positive electrode and a negative electrode disposed on the solar cell body; the structure of the positive electrode and the structure of the negative electrode may be the same or different. The electrode (which may be a positive electrode or a negative electrode) of the solar cell includes: the first conductive pattern 311, the conductive paste pattern 321, and the second conductive pattern 104 formed on the solar cell body are sequentially stacked; the conductive paste pattern 321 is located between the first conductive pattern 311 and the second conductive pattern 104. Wherein the first conductive pattern 311 and the second conductive pattern 104 are bonded together by the conductive paste pattern 321. The conductive adhesive pattern 321 is less deformed or substantially not deformed during the bonding process. The respective surfaces of the conductive adhesive pattern 321 are not substantially changed before and after bonding. Meanwhile, the material of the conductive paste pattern 321 includes: conductive material and adhesive. The conductive material may be a metal or an organic conductive material, etc., for example, the conductive material may be: copper, aluminum, etc. The adhesive may be an organic adhesive, for example, the adhesive may be an epoxy glue or a polyurethane glue. In the present invention, the conductive material and the adhesive are not particularly limited. For example, for a double sided cell, the electrodes may be located on the light facing side or the backlight side of the solar cell body. For a back contact solar cell, the electrode may be located on the backlight side of the solar cell body. It is understood that the portion of the solar cell body in contact with the first conductive pattern can be electrically conductive, for example, the portion of the solar cell body in contact with the first conductive pattern can be TCO; or the portion of the solar cell body in contact with the first conductive pattern may be a doped layer. For another example, if a passivation layer is formed on the surface of the solar cell body, the portion of the solar cell body that contacts the first conductive pattern is a layer that is exposed after the passivation layer is grooved.

Meanwhile, the bonding has the characteristics of low bonding temperature and high bonding strength, and the bonding temperature is low, so that the solar cell body is less affected by heat, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is less affected. The high bonding strength can make the reliability of the electrode of the solar cell good. In the bonding, the materials of the second conductive pattern 104 and the first conductive pattern 311 may be conductive, and the material selectivity is not limited to silver paste, but may be high, and the cost may be suitably reduced by selecting, for example, copper, tin, conductive resin, or the like, with respect to silver paste, and the conductive adhesive pattern 321 may be provided with the bonding performance and the conductive performance, and the material selectivity is high, and the cost may be suitably reduced by selecting, for example, conductive resin, or the like, with respect to silver paste. Moreover, the silver paste is granular, so that the contact between silver particles is less, and the silver paste contains organic components which also influence the contact between silver particles, so that the resistivity of the silver paste electrode is higher, and the conductivity is poor. In addition, since the second conductive pattern 104 may not be prepared on the solar cell body, the preparation process of the second conductive pattern has little or no effect on the solar cell body, and mass production is easy to achieve, and the preparation cost may be reduced.

The material of the first conductive pattern 311 and the second conductive pattern 104 may be a conductive material, and the material of the first conductive pattern 311 and the second conductive pattern 104 is not particularly limited. The conductive adhesive pattern 321 may have an adhesive property and a conductive property, and the material of the conductive adhesive pattern 321 is not particularly limited. For example, the first conductive pattern 311 and the second conductive pattern 104 may be a metal material. For example, the material of the conductive paste pattern 321 may include: silver paste. Or, for example, at least one of the first conductive pattern 311, the second conductive pattern 104 and the conductive adhesive pattern 321 may be an organic conductive material, and compared with a metal material, the organic conductive material may also reduce the weight of the solar cell, thereby reducing the weight of the battery assembly, and for a scenario of application in a photovoltaic roof, the battery assembly with a lighter weight may properly reduce the mechanical requirement on the building roof.

It should be noted that the difference between fig. 2 and fig. 3 is mainly that the structure of the solar cell body is different, and the shape of the second conductive pattern 104 is different. Fig. 2 and 4 differ mainly in the shape of the second conductive pattern 104.

Alternatively, the conductive adhesive pattern 321 may have good adhesion performance at normal temperature or lower, and the first conductive pattern 311 and the second conductive pattern 104 may be firmly adhered at normal temperature or lower, so that the thermal influence of adhesion on the solar cell body may be reduced. For example, the material of the conductive paste pattern 321 may be selected from: the conductive adhesive containing graphite has reliable adhesive property at about 150 ℃ and excellent conductive property. The bonding process may be accompanied by a curing reaction or sintering. The curing reaction herein may include thermal curing or photo curing.

The materials of the second conductive patterns 104 and the first conductive patterns 311 are not limited. For example, the first conductive pattern 311 and the second conductive pattern 104 may be at least one of the following eight low-temperature conductive materials: the melting point of the first low-temperature conductive material is 98 ℃, and the composition components are as follows: bismuth (Bi) in a mass ratio of 50%, lead (Pb) in a mass ratio of 25%, and tin (Sn) in a mass ratio of 25%. The second low-temperature conductive material has a melting point of 74 ℃ and comprises the following components: 42.5% bismuth (Bi), 37.7% lead (Pb), 11.3% tin (Sn), 8.5% cadmium (Cd). The third low-temperature conductive material has a melting point of 70 ℃ and comprises the following components: bismuth (Bi) in a mass ratio of 50%, lead (Pb) in a mass ratio of 26.7%, tin (Sn) in a mass ratio of 13.3%, and cadmium (Cd) in a mass ratio of 10%.

The melting point of the fifth low-temperature conductive material is 58 ℃, and the composition components are as follows: bismuth (Bi) In a mass ratio of 49%, lead (Pb) In a mass ratio of 18%, tin (Sn) In a mass ratio of 12%, and indium (In) In a mass ratio of 21%. The melting point of the sixth low-temperature conductive material is 47.2 ℃, and the composition components are as follows: bismuth (Bi) In a mass ratio of 44.7%, lead (Pb) In a mass ratio of 22.6%, tin (Sn) In a mass ratio of 8.3%, indium (In) In a mass ratio of 19.1%, and cadmium (Cd) In a mass ratio of 5.3%.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 2 to 4, the conductive paste pattern 321 is adjacent to the solar cell body with respect to the second conductive pattern 104. In fig. 2, the direction indicated by the dashed arrow L1 is: in a direction away from the solar cell body. The area of the cross section of the partial region of the second conductive pattern 104 away from the solar cell body is gradually reduced in the direction away from the solar cell body, which is perpendicular to the lamination direction of the conductive paste pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104, that is, the smaller the area of the cross section of the partial region of the second conductive pattern 104 away from the solar cell body is, the more away from the conductive paste pattern 321, so that the design is advantageous in reducing reflection and light shielding, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell can be increased.

Referring to fig. 2, in some examples, the second conductive pattern 104 includes a second conductive sub-pattern 1041 and a second conductive sub-pattern 1042 that are stacked, and the second conductive sub-pattern 1042 is adjacent to the first conductive pattern 311 or the conductive paste pattern 321 with respect to the second conductive sub-pattern 1041. The area of the cross section of the second conductive pattern 104 gradually decreases in a direction away from the solar cell body, having the effect of reducing reflection and shading. Alternatively, in a direction away from the solar cell body, the cross-sectional areas of the second conductive sub-pattern 1042 of the second conductive pattern 104, which is adjacent to the first conductive pattern 311 or the conductive paste pattern 321, are equal, and the cross-sectional area of the second conductive sub-pattern 1041 of the second conductive pattern 104, which is distant from the first conductive pattern 311 or the conductive paste pattern 321, is gradually reduced, and the second conductive sub-pattern 1041 has the effect of reducing reflection and shading.

Optionally, the second conductive pattern 104 or a longitudinal section of a partial area of the second conductive pattern 104 away from the solar cell body has a triangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, or a shape formed by a segment of an arc and a segment connecting two ends of the arc, the length of the segment being less than or equal to the diameter of a circle corresponding to the arc, and the longitudinal section being parallel to the lamination direction of the conductive paste pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104. If the length of the line segment is equal to the diameter of the circle corresponding to the circular arc, the shape of the longitudinal section of the second conductive pattern 104 or the partial region of the second conductive pattern 104 away from the solar cell body is a semicircle, and the shape of the second conductive pattern 104 or the partial region of the second conductive pattern 104 away from the solar cell body is a semicircle. If the length of the line segment is smaller than the diameter of the circle corresponding to the circular arc, the circular arc is a minor arc of the circle corresponding to the circular arc.

In fig. 2 and 5, the second conductive sub-pattern 1041 of the second conductive pattern 104 far from the solar cell body has a triangular shape, and the second conductive sub-pattern 1042 of the second conductive pattern 104 near to the solar cell body has a rectangular shape. The longitudinal section of the second conductive pattern 104 is formed by splicing a rectangle and a triangle, the bottom side of the triangle coincides with one side of the rectangle, and the opposite corner of the bottom side is positioned on one side of the second conductive pattern 104 away from the first conductive pattern 311.

Optionally, the electrode of the solar cell further includes: and an adhesive pattern (not shown) between the first conductive pattern 311 and the solar cell body, the adhesive pattern being used to promote the coupling force between the first conductive pattern 311 and the solar cell body, so that the reliability of the electrode is better. The shape of the adhesive pattern may be the same as or similar to the shape of the first conductive pattern 311. The material of the bonding pattern may be selected from: at least one of titanium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, tin, titanium nitride, titanium tungsten and silver, the bonding pattern of the material and the solar cell body have strong bonding force, and the bonding force between the first conductive pattern 311 and the solar cell body is indirectly improved. It should be noted that, the bonding pattern may be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, and the thickness of the bonding pattern may be 1-50nm, which is parallel to the lamination direction of the conductive adhesive pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104, and the thickness of the bonding pattern is within this range, so that the bonding force between the first conductive pattern 311 and the solar cell body is improved, and the cost is low. For example, the bonding pattern may be a 10nm titanium bonding pattern.

In some examples, the thickness of the bonding pattern may be, for example, 1nm, 10nm, 20nm, 30nm, 40nm, or 50nm. Optionally, the thickness of the second conductive pattern 104 is 5-50um, and/or the thickness of the first conductive pattern 311 is 10-100nm. The thickness direction is parallel to the lamination direction of the conductive adhesive pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104. The thickness of the second conductive pattern 104 and the thickness of the first conductive pattern 311 are within the above ranges, and the electrode has a good effect of collecting carriers. It should be noted that the directions in which the thicknesses are mentioned throughout are all defined.

By way of example, the thickness of the second conductive pattern 104 may be 5um, 10um, 20um, 30um, 40um, or 50um. By way of example, the thickness of the first conductive pattern 311 may be 10nm, 20nm, 30nm, 40nm, 50nm, 60nm, 70nm, 80nm, 90nm, or 100nm.

The thickness of the conductive adhesive pattern 321 is not particularly limited, and the second conductive pattern 104 and the first conductive pattern 311 can be firmly bonded, and the cost can be reduced as a selection criterion. For example, the thickness of the conductive paste pattern 321 may be 5nm. If the conductive paste pattern 321 is selected from silver paste, the thickness of the conductive paste pattern 321 is significantly smaller than the thickness of the counter electrode, and the cost of the conductive paste pattern 321 is lower, so that the cost of the solar cell formed by the method is still lower.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 to 4, the second conductive pattern 104 is composed of at least two second conductive sub-patterns that are stacked in a stacking direction parallel to the conductive paste pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104. In fig. 2, a direction of lamination of the conductive paste pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104 may be parallel as indicated by a dotted line L1. It should be noted that the second conductive pattern 104 is specifically composed of how many second conductive sub-patterns, which is not specifically limited. For example, as shown in fig. 1, 2, and 3, the second conductive pattern 104 is composed of a second conductive sub-pattern 1041 and a second conductive sub-pattern 1042 which are stacked in a stacking direction parallel to the conductive paste pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104. As another example, as shown in fig. 4, the second conductive pattern 104 is composed of a second conductive sub-pattern 1041, a second conductive sub-pattern 1042, and a second conductive sub-pattern 1043 which are stacked in a stacking direction parallel to the conductive paste pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104.

Alternatively, the second conductive pattern 104 includes a seed layer pattern and a plating pattern that are stacked in a stacking direction parallel to the solar cell body and the first conductive pattern 311. The plating pattern is close to the solar cell body relative to the seed layer pattern, and the plating pattern coats the seed layer pattern. That is, the plating pattern is located between the seed layer pattern and the solar cell body, and the plating pattern is formed on a side of the seed layer pattern close to the solar cell body by electroplating or electroless plating, and thus the plating pattern covers a side of the seed layer pattern close to the solar cell body. The second conductive pattern 104 is formed in a flexible manner by having an interface between the plating pattern and the seed layer pattern. Electroplating is to plate a layer of material with plated patterns on the seed layer pattern by utilizing the electrolysis principle. Electroless plating is to deposit metal ions in the electroless plating solution onto the seed layer pattern by reducing the metal ions to metal with a suitable reducing agent without an applied current. The process parameters such as the temperature of the plating or electroless plating are not particularly limited, and may be suitably used for forming the plating pattern. The specific method of electroless plating is not limited, and may be, for example, lithium plating.

Alternatively, the material of the second conductive sub-pattern 1041 of the second conductive pattern 104 farthest from the first conductive pattern 311 may include tin. The second conductive sub-pattern 1041 of the second conductive pattern 104, which is farthest from the first conductive pattern 311, is also the portion of the electrode farthest from the solar cell body, and the material of the portion includes tin, which can prevent oxidation of the remaining second conductive sub-patterns of the second conductive pattern 104, and has a lower melting point, so that during welding of the solder strip and the electrode, the welding temperature can be lower due to the lower melting point of tin, which is beneficial to reducing the welding temperature of the electrode during forming the cell assembly, so as to reduce the thermal influence to the solar cell or the cell assembly. The material of the second conductive sub-pattern closest to the first conductive pattern 311 in the second conductive pattern 104 may be tin or tin alloy. For example, in the solar cell shown in fig. 4, the material of the second conductive sub-pattern 1041 of the second conductive pattern 104 farthest from the first conductive pattern 311 includes tin, which mainly acts to prevent oxidation of the second conductive sub-pattern 1042 and the second conductive sub-pattern 1043, and during the soldering process of the solder ribbon and the electrode, the soldering temperature may be lower due to the lower melting point of tin, so that the thermal influence to the solar cell or the cell component may be reduced.

The tin alloy may be a copper-tin alloy, a lead-tin alloy, or the like.

The first embodiment also provides a method for manufacturing a solar cell, which can be used to manufacture the solar cell in the first embodiment, and fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating steps of a method for manufacturing a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 6, the method for manufacturing the solar cell includes the steps of:

and step A1, forming a first conductive pattern or a first conductive film layer on the solar cell body.

The first conductive pattern may be formed on the solar cell body in the following manner: and forming a first conductive pattern on the region to be provided with the electrode on the solar cell body by adopting screen printing, deposition, electroplating and other modes. Alternatively, the first conductive pattern is formed by forming the entire first conductive film layer on the solar cell body and patterning the first conductive film layer. For example, the first conductive film layer 311 may be formed by vacuum deposition such as vacuum sputtering deposition or the like. If the entire first conductive film layer 311 is formed, a mask layer may be disposed on the first conductive film layer 311, the mask layer may be patterned, and the first conductive pattern 311 may be formed by wet etching. Alternatively, the first conductive film layer 311 may be patterned using a laser to form the first conductive pattern 311. In the present embodiment, this is not particularly limited.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a second HBC solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 8 and 10, a first conductive film layer 311 is formed on the solar cell body by screen printing, deposition, electroplating, or the like.

Alternatively, forming the first conductive pattern or the first conductive film layer on the solar cell body may include: and paving a metal foil on the solar cell body to form a first conductive film layer. The metal foil is then patterned to form a first conductive pattern. The patterning manner is not particularly limited. The metal foil is made of the same material as the first conductive pattern or the first conductive film layer.

Optionally, after the metal foil is laid on the solar cell body, the method may include: and pressing the metal foil to enable the metal foil to be attached to the solar cell body. Specifically, if the solar cell body has a pyramid shape, the gap between the two may be relatively obvious, and the lamination is performed to make the metal foil and the solar cell body better in lamination, so that the alignment adhesion is facilitated, and the reliability of the electrode is improved. The pressing mode is not particularly limited, for example, the surface of the metal foil can be cleaned after pressing by a roller, so that pollution of pressing substances to the surface of the metal foil and the like can be reduced. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is not particularly limited.

And step A2, forming a second conductive pattern on the imprinting template.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the imprint template may be a rigid template or a flexible template.

Fig. 11 is a schematic view of a partial structure of a first embodiment of the present application for forming a second conductive pattern, and fig. 12 is a schematic view of a partial structure of a second embodiment of the present application for forming a second conductive pattern. Fig. 13 is a schematic view showing a partial structure of a third embodiment of the present application for forming a second conductive pattern. Fig. 14 is a schematic view showing a partial structure of a fourth embodiment of the present application for forming a second conductive pattern. Fig. 15 is a schematic view showing a partial structure of a fifth embodiment of the present application for forming a second conductive pattern. Referring to fig. 11 to 15, the second conductive pattern 104 is formed on the imprint template. For example, an entire second conductive film layer is formed on the imprint template, and then the second conductive pattern 104 is formed by laser etching. The impression template mainly has the following functions: the imprint template may be used as a component for carrying the second conductive pattern 104 during the bonding of the second conductive pattern 104 to the first conductive pattern or the first conductive film layer 311 on the solar cell body. The second conductive patterns 104 shown in fig. 12 and 13 are each composed of a second conductive sub-pattern 1041 and a second conductive sub-pattern 1042 which are stacked in a direction parallel to the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the stacking direction of the conductive adhesive pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104. The second conductive pattern 104 shown in fig. 15 is composed of a second conductive sub-pattern 1041, a second conductive sub-pattern 1042, and a second conductive sub-pattern 1043 which are stacked in a stacking direction parallel to the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104.

In some examples, forming the second conductive pattern 104 on the imprint template includes: in fig. 11, a second conductive sub-pattern 1041 is formed on the imprint template, and in fig. 12, a second conductive sub-pattern 1042 is formed on the second conductive sub-pattern 1041.

In other examples, forming the second conductive pattern 104 on the imprint template includes: in fig. 13, a second conductive sub-pattern 1041 is formed on the imprint template, and in fig. 14, a second conductive sub-pattern 1042 is formed on the second conductive sub-pattern 1041. In fig. 15, a second conductive sub-pattern 1042 is formed on the second conductive sub-pattern 1041, and then a second conductive sub-pattern 1043 is formed on the second conductive sub-pattern 1042.

The manner of forming the second conductive pattern 104 on the imprint template may include: electroplating, deposition and the like. The second conductive pattern 104 is formed on the imprint template instead of being prepared on the solar cell body, and the preparation process of the second conductive pattern 104 has little or no influence on the solar cell body, can reduce the influence on the solar cell body, and is easy to realize mass production.

A3, aligning the second conductive pattern with the first conductive pattern, and bonding the second conductive pattern and the first conductive pattern together through a conductive adhesive film layer or a conductive adhesive pattern; or aligning the second conductive pattern with the region of the first conductive film layer where the electrode is to be formed, and bonding the second conductive pattern with the region of the first conductive film layer where the electrode is to be formed through a conductive adhesive film layer or a conductive adhesive pattern; wherein, the material of the conductive adhesive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern comprises: conductive material and adhesive.

The second conductive pattern 104 is aligned with the first conductive pattern 311, where the alignment may be: the first projection of the second conductive pattern 104 on the solar cell body and the second projection of the first conductive pattern 311 on the solar cell body have overlapping areas, and the size of the overlapping areas is not particularly limited. For example, the area size of the first projection may be equal to the area size of the second projection, and the area of the overlapping region is smaller than the area of the first projection, or the area size of the first projection may be equal to the area size of the second projection, and the area size of the overlapping region may be equal to the area size of the first projection, or the area of the second projection may be larger than the area of the first projection, and the first projection completely falls into the second projection. It should be noted that all references to alignment are the same or similar to the definition of alignment herein.

After the first conductive pattern 311 and the second conductive pattern 104 are aligned, the second conductive pattern 104 and the first conductive pattern 311 are bonded together through the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321, so that the bonding transfer of the second conductive pattern 104 positioned on the imprinting template to the first conductive film layer 311 or the first conductive pattern 311 on the solar cell body is realized. The bonding has the characteristics of low bonding temperature and high bonding strength, and the bonding temperature is low, so that the solar cell body is less affected by heat, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is less affected. The high bonding strength can make the reliability of the electrode of the solar cell good. The material of the second conductive pattern, the first conductive film layer, or the first conductive pattern of the present invention may be conductive, rather than silver paste, so that the cost may be suitably reduced, and the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321 may have an adhesive property and a conductive property, rather than being limited to silver paste, so that the cost may be suitably reduced. Compared with the laser transfer printing, in the invention, the second conductive pattern and the first conductive pattern are bonded together through the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321, or the second conductive pattern and the region to be formed with the electrode in the first conductive film layer are bonded together through the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321, so that the bonding process is mature, the process difficulty is relatively low, and the production efficiency can be properly improved. Compared with electroplating, in the invention, the second conductive pattern and the first conductive pattern are bonded together through the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321, or the second conductive pattern and the region to be formed with the electrode in the first conductive film layer are bonded together through the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern, so that the solar cell body has no technical problems of winding plating and the like, has better yield and reliability, and is easy to realize mass production.

The alignment of the second conductive pattern 104 with the region of the first conductive film layer 311 where the electrode is to be formed, similar to the alignment of the second conductive pattern 104 with the first conductive pattern 311, can be referred to the above description, and the same or similar beneficial effects can be achieved, so that the repetition is avoided and will not be repeated here.

The region of the second conductive pattern 104 where the electrode is to be formed in the first conductive film layer 311 is bonded together by the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321, or the related description of bonding the second conductive pattern 104 and the first conductive pattern 311 together by the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321 can be referred to, and the same or similar beneficial effects can be achieved, so that the repetition is avoided and no further description is given here.

Fig. 16 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating alignment of a first second conductive pattern and a region of a first conductive film layer where an electrode is to be formed according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 17 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating alignment of a second conductive pattern with a region of a first conductive film layer where an electrode is to be formed according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 18 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating alignment of a third second conductive pattern with a region of a first conductive film layer where an electrode is to be formed according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 16, 17 and 18, the second conductive pattern 104 is aligned with the region of the first conductive film layer 311 where the electrode is to be formed, and the second conductive pattern 104 is bonded to the region of the first conductive film layer 311 where the electrode is to be formed through the conductive adhesive film layer 321. Fig. 16 and 18 mainly differ in the number of second conductive patterns 104, the structure of the solar cell body, and the number of second conductive sub-patterns in the second conductive patterns 104. Fig. 16 and 17 differ mainly in the shape of the second conductive pattern 104.

And step A4, removing the imprinting template.

The second conductive pattern 104 on the imprint template is transferred to the first conductive film layer 311 on the solar cell body or the adhesion on the first conductive pattern 311, and thus the electrode of the solar cell is basically formed, and then the imprint template is removed. Here, the removal of the imprint template may be performed by a mechanical external force or the like, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the manner of removing the imprint template is not particularly limited. The removal of the imprinting template mainly depends on that the bonding force between the second conductive pattern 104 and the imprinting template is smaller than the bonding force between the second conductive pattern 104 and the conductive adhesive film 321 or the conductive adhesive film 321, so as to remove the imprinting template. Optionally, a coating or the like having a coating that makes the second conductive pattern 104 easier to disengage from the imprint template may be applied between the imprint template and the second conductive pattern 104, further facilitating removal of the imprint template. For example, the imprinting stamp and the second conductive pattern 104 may have tin or a tin alloy therebetween, which has a low melting point, and may be easily removed by heating.

FIG. 19 is a third exemplary embodiment of the present invention _HJT Schematic partial structure of solar cell. Fig. 20 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a third HBC solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 19 and 20 are schematic views of the solar cell after the imprint template is removed.

It should be noted that, after the imprint template is removed, the second conductive pattern remained on the imprint template may be cleaned with acid solution or alkali solution, so that the imprint template may be reused, thereby further reducing the cost. Specifically, whether to wash the imprint template with an acid solution or an alkali solution is determined according to the material of the second conductive pattern, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

And step A5, removing the part of the first conductive film layer except for the electrode area to be formed, and forming a first conductive pattern in the case of forming the first conductive film layer on the solar cell body.

The first conductive film layer 311 is disposed on the solar cell body, and a removing solution corresponding to the material in the first conductive film layer 311 can be used to remove a portion outside the electrode region in the first conductive film layer 311, so as to form a first conductive pattern, thereby avoiding the problems of short circuit and the like.

It should be noted that, the concentration of the removing liquid and/or the removing time may be controlled, so as to further control the accuracy of forming the first conductive pattern, so as to obtain the first conductive pattern with a relatively suitable shape, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, a schematic structure may be shown after removing the portion of the first conductive film layer except the electrode region to form the first conductive pattern 311.

And step A6, removing the part of the conductive film layer except the region where the electrode is to be formed to form a conductive adhesive pattern under the condition that the first conductive pattern or the region where the electrode is to be formed in the first conductive film layer and the second conductive pattern are bonded together through the conductive adhesive film layer.

The conductive adhesive film layer 321 is disposed on the solar cell body or the second conductive pattern 104 in a whole layer, and a removing solution corresponding to the material in the conductive adhesive film layer 321 can be used to remove the portion outside the electrode area in the conductive adhesive film layer 321, so as to form the conductive adhesive pattern 321, thereby avoiding the problems of short circuit and the like.

Note that, the concentration of the removing liquid and/or the removing time may be controlled, so as to further control the accuracy of forming the conductive adhesive pattern 321, so as to obtain the conductive adhesive pattern 321 with a relatively suitable shape, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, a schematic structure after removing the portion outside the electrode area in the conductive film layer to form the conductive adhesive pattern 321 may be shown.

Optionally, before the step A3, the method may further include: the second conductive pattern 104 is recrystallized by annealing the imprint template on which the second conductive pattern 104 is formed, so that stress is removed, and the second conductive pattern 104 is annealed on the imprint template instead of being annealed after the second conductive pattern 104 is transferred to the solar cell body, so that the annealing does not have a thermal effect on the solar cell body and does not have a bad effect on the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.

Optionally, the annealing temperature is: 200-700 ℃, and the annealing time is as follows: annealing in this temperature range for 0.5-2 minutes, the stress relief of the second conductive pattern 104 on the imprint template is more thorough and energy efficient. For example, the annealing temperature is 200℃and the annealing time is 30 seconds. For another example, the annealing temperature is 700℃and the annealing time is 2 minutes. For another example, the annealing temperature is 400℃and the annealing time is 60 seconds. For another example, the annealing temperature is 700℃and the annealing time is 45 seconds.

The annealing method may be infrared heating, ultrasonic heating, resistance heating, or the like, and is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, before bonding, the method may further include: and forming a conductive adhesive pattern or a conductive adhesive film layer on the second conductive pattern. The forming of the conductive adhesive pattern or the conductive adhesive film layer on the second conductive pattern of the imprint template may include: screen printing, coating, etc. The conductive adhesive pattern or the conductive adhesive film layer is formed on the second conductive pattern of the imprinting template instead of being prepared on the solar cell body, and the preparation process of the conductive adhesive pattern or the conductive adhesive film layer has little or no influence on the solar cell body, so that the influence on the solar cell body can be reduced, and mass production is easy to realize. If a whole conductive adhesive film layer is formed on the second conductive pattern of the imprinting template, a mask layer may be disposed on the whole conductive adhesive film layer, the mask layer may be patterned, and the conductive adhesive pattern may be formed by wet etching. Alternatively, a laser may be used to pattern the entire conductive adhesive film layer to form the conductive adhesive pattern. In the present embodiment, this is not particularly limited.

The definition of alignment is also referred to in the foregoing description, and is not repeated here.

Optionally, before bonding, the method may further include: a conductive adhesive pattern 321 or a conductive adhesive film layer 321 is formed on one of the first conductive pattern 311, a region of the first conductive film layer 311 where an electrode is to be formed, and the first conductive film layer 311. For example, as shown in fig. 8 and 10, a conductive film layer 321 is formed on the first conductive film layer 311. Optionally, aligning the second conductive pattern with the first conductive pattern in the step A3, or aligning the second conductive pattern with a region of the first conductive film layer where the electrode is to be formed, includes: the second conductive pattern 104 is aligned with the conductive adhesive pattern 321 or a region of the conductive adhesive film layer 321 where an electrode is to be formed. The definition of alignment refers to the foregoing descriptions, and is not repeated here. As shown in fig. 16, 17 and 18, the second conductive pattern 104 may be aligned with the region of the conductive adhesive film 321 where the electrode is to be formed.

Optionally, before forming the first conductive pattern or the first conductive film layer on the solar cell body, the method may further include: forming an adhesive pattern or an adhesive film layer on the solar cell body, the adhesive pattern or the adhesive film layer being used to promote a bonding force between the first conductive pattern and the solar cell body, forming the first conductive pattern may include: the first conductive pattern is formed on the adhesive pattern or the adhesive film layer. The formation of the adhesive film layer means that the entire layer is formed on the solar cell body, and the adhesive pattern is obtained after patterning the entire adhesive film layer. The manner of forming the bonding pattern may be as follows: the method includes forming a whole layer of adhesive film layer on a solar cell body by screen printing, electroplating, depositing and the like, forming a mask on the adhesive film layer, patterning the mask, and wet etching to obtain an adhesive pattern, or patterning the adhesive film layer by laser to obtain the adhesive pattern, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment. The material of the adhesive pattern and the like can be referred to the above-mentioned related descriptions, and can achieve the same or similar advantageous effects, and in order to avoid repetition, the description thereof will be omitted.

Fig. 21 is a schematic structural view of a first imprint template according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Alternatively, referring to fig. 21, the imprint template includes a first groove 103, and referring to fig. 11 and 12, the foregoing step A2 may include: a second conductive pattern 104 is formed in the first groove 103 of the imprint template. The second conductive pattern 104 is flush with the surface of the side of the imprinting mold where the first groove 103 is provided, or protrudes from the surface of the side of the imprinting mold where the first groove 103 is provided, so that the conductive paste pattern on the second conductive pattern 104 can be in contact with the first conductive pattern 311 or the region of the first conductive film layer 311 where the electrode is to be formed, or the second conductive pattern 104 can be in contact with the conductive paste pattern or the conductive film layer in the process of bonding the second conductive pattern 104 to the first conductive pattern 311 or the region of the first conductive film layer 311 where the electrode is to be formed. The first groove 103 serves as a gate line pattern corresponding to the second conductive pattern 104, so that the second conductive pattern 104 with precise shape can be formed conveniently. If the conductive adhesive pattern is formed on the second conductive pattern 104, the first groove 103 is also used as a gate line pattern corresponding to the conductive adhesive pattern, so as to facilitate forming the conductive adhesive pattern with precise shape. The formation of the second conductive pattern in the first groove 103 of the imprint template may be achieved by electroplating, deposition, or the like, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment. It should be noted that, if the deposition method is selected, after the deposition, the second conductive film layer located in the outer area of the first groove 103 needs to be etched away.

For example, a first recess 103 is opened inward in a localized area of the surface of the substrate 101 to form an imprint template. Referring to fig. 17, in the process of adhesively transferring the second conductive pattern 104 to the electrode region to be provided on the first conductive film layer 311 on the solar cell body, the surface of the substrate may be the surface of the substrate 101 close to the solar cell body. If the second conductive pattern 104 is formed in the first groove 103 by electroplating, the surface of the first groove 103 needs to be a conductive surface, and the rest of the surface of the substrate 101 is a non-conductive surface. A non-conductive hard or soft substrate may be selected, a conductive material is deposited on the hard or soft substrate, a portion of the conductive material remote from the hard substrate is oxidized to a non-conductive material to form the substrate 101, and then the first recess 103 is opened inward from the non-conductive material such that the conductive material under the non-conductive material at the bottom of the first recess 103 is exposed, the exposed conductive material serves as a cathode for electroplating, and the remaining surface of the substrate 101 is a non-conductive surface that is not electroplated during electroplating to form an imprint template. The size of the first groove 103 is not particularly limited, and for example, the notch of the first groove 103 may be elongated, and the width of the notch of the first groove 103 may be 10um.

The hard substrate here is not particularly limited as long as it has a certain supporting hardness, and the thickness and material of the hard substrate are not particularly limited. The material of the conductive substance and the nonconductive substance is not particularly limited. For example, the hard matrix may be a ceramic having a thickness of 5 nm. An aluminum layer may be deposited on the 5nm ceramic, for example, by sputtering, evaporation, or the like to form a 20um aluminum layer. The aluminum layer is then oxidized such that a portion of the thickness of the aluminum layer distal from the ceramic oxidizes to aluminum oxide, while the remaining aluminum layer proximal to the ceramic is not oxidized. The thickness of the oxidized aluminum layer and the non-oxidized aluminum layer is not particularly limited herein, and for example, the thickness of the oxidized aluminum may be 10um and the thickness of the non-oxidized aluminum layer may be 10um. Laser etching may then be used to open the grooves so that a portion of the alumina is removed until the aluminum layer is exposed. During the electroplating process, the alumina is not electroplated, but only the aluminum layer at the bottom of the first groove 103 is electroplated.

Optionally, referring to fig. 21, the imprint template further includes a substrate 101, and the first groove 103 is disposed on the substrate 101. The imprint template further comprises a first land 102 provided on the substrate 101 and located at the edge of the first recess 103. Referring to fig. 11 and 12, forming the second conductive pattern 104 in the first groove 103 of the imprint template includes: the second conductive pattern 104 is formed in the first recess 103 of the imprint template and in the region defined by the first land 102. The second conductive pattern 104 is flush with the surface of the first boss 102 away from the substrate 101, or protrudes from the surface of the first boss 102 away from the substrate 101. Referring to fig. 17, since the first boss 102 protrudes from the substrate 101, in the process of aligning and bonding the region to be provided with the electrode in the first conductive film layer 311 and the second conductive pattern 104, only the portion of the second conductive pattern 104 protruding from the surface of the first boss 102 away from the substrate 101, or only the portion of the second conductive pattern 104 flush with the surface of the first boss 102 away from the substrate 101, is in contact with the conductive adhesive pattern 321 or the region to be provided with the electrode in the conductive adhesive film layer 321, the rest of the imprint template is not in contact with the conductive adhesive pattern 321 or the conductive adhesive film layer 321, so that contamination of the conductive adhesive pattern 321 or the conductive adhesive film layer 321, the first conductive film layer 311 or the solar cell body can be avoided, and pressing of the imprint template against the conductive adhesive pattern 321 or the conductive adhesive film layer 321, the first conductive film layer 311 or the solar cell body can be avoided. If the conductive adhesive pattern or the conductive adhesive film layer is formed on the second conductive pattern 104, in the process of aligning and bonding the region to be provided with the electrode in the first conductive film layer 311 and the region to be formed with the electrode in the conductive adhesive pattern or the conductive adhesive film layer, only the portion of the region to be formed with the electrode in the conductive adhesive pattern or the conductive adhesive film layer protruding from the surface of the first boss 102 away from the substrate 101, or only the portion of the region to be formed with the electrode in the conductive adhesive pattern or the conductive adhesive film layer flush with the surface of the first boss 102 away from the substrate 101 contacts the region to be provided with the electrode in the first conductive film layer 311, the rest of the imprint template does not contact the first conductive film layer 311, so that pollution to the first conductive film layer 311 or the solar cell body can be avoided, and the imprint template can be prevented from pressing the first conductive film layer 311 or the solar cell body.

It should be noted that the second conductive pattern is not formed on the surface of the first boss 102 away from the substrate 101, which is advantageous in that waste can be reduced and current loss can be reduced. More specifically, if the surface of the first land 102 away from the substrate 101 is formed with the second conductive pattern, the projection of the portion of the second conductive pattern on the surface of the substrate 101 near the first land 102 does not overlap with the projection of the second conductive pattern located in the first groove 103 and in the area defined by the first land 102 on the surface of the substrate 101 near the first land 102, the carriers collected by the portion need to be transferred in the direction parallel to the width of the notch of the first groove 103 to be able to be guided out, and the carrier transfer path is long, which may cause a certain current loss, so that in some examples, the surface of the first land 102 away from the substrate 101 is not formed with the second conductive pattern, which may reduce the current loss and reduce the waste of the second conductive pattern material. The implementation manner that the second conductive pattern is not formed on the surface of the first boss 102 away from the substrate 101 may be: in the process of depositing and forming the second conductive pattern, the second conductive pattern is also deposited on the surface of the first boss 102 far from the substrate 101, then a mask is provided, the mask is patterned, and wet etching is performed to remove the second conductive pattern formed on the surface of the first boss 102 far from the substrate 101. Or in the process of depositing and forming the second conductive pattern, the second conductive pattern formed on the surface of the first boss 102 far from the substrate 101 is removed by adopting a laser etching mode. Still alternatively, the areas defined by the first lands 102 on both sides are provided as conductive surfaces, and the surfaces of the first lands 102 away from the substrate 101 are provided as non-conductive surfaces. The specific method comprises the following steps: the portion of the first lands 102 near the substrate 101 may be selected to be conductive, then a non-conductive material is disposed on the portion of the first lands 102 near the substrate 101 by deposition or coating, and then the non-conductive material in the area defined by the first lands 102 on both sides is etched, so that the area defined by the first lands 102 on both sides is a conductive surface, and the surface of the first lands 102 far from the substrate 101 is a non-conductive surface, and in the electroplating process, the second conductive pattern can be electroplated on the area defined by the first lands 102 on both sides as a cathode, and the surface of the first lands 102 far from the substrate 101 cannot be electroplated on the second conductive pattern. If the conductive adhesive pattern or the conductive adhesive film layer is formed on the second conductive pattern, the second conductive pattern is not formed on the surface of the first boss 102 far from the substrate 101, and then the conductive adhesive pattern is not formed on the surface of the first boss 102 far from the substrate 101, and the beneficial effects, implementation manner and the like can refer to the description about the second conductive pattern, so that the repetition is avoided and no detailed description is given here.

Note that, the first boss 102 may be integrally formed with the substrate 101, or the first boss 102 and the substrate 101 may be separately manufactured, and then the first boss 102 and the substrate 101 may be fixedly connected together by using a glue layer or the like, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 21, the area of the cross section of the first groove 103 is gradually reduced along the direction from the notch of the first groove 103 to the bottom of the groove, wherein the cross section of the first groove 103 is perpendicular to the lamination direction of the conductive adhesive film layer 321 or the conductive adhesive pattern 321 and the second conductive pattern 104, and further the area of the cross section of the second conductive pattern 104 formed along the direction from the notch of the first groove 103 to the bottom of the groove is also gradually reduced, which is beneficial to reducing light shielding and reducing reflection.

Fig. 22 is a schematic structural view of a second imprint template according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 23 is a schematic structural view of a third imprint template according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 24 is a schematic structural view of a fourth imprint template according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Alternatively, referring to fig. 22 and 23, the imprint template includes a substrate 101 and a second land 202 on the substrate 101. The number of the second bosses 202 on the substrate 101 is not particularly limited. For example, the imprint template shown in fig. 22 has two second lands 202 on the substrate 101, the imprint template shown in fig. 23 has three second lands 202 on the substrate 101. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the substrate 101 and the second boss 202 may be formed by one-step molding or separately, which is not particularly limited. The imprint template shown in fig. 24 has three second lands 202 on the substrate 101. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the substrate 101 and the second boss 202 may be formed by one-step molding or separately, which is not particularly limited. Referring to fig. 13 and 14, the step A2 may include: the second conductive film layer 104 is formed on the side of the imprint template where the second boss 202 is formed, and a portion of the second conductive film layer 104 located on the second boss 202 is a second conductive pattern. For the second conductive film layer 104 formed by deposition, electroplating, or the like, the height difference between the second boss 202 and the substrate 101 may be utilized to disconnect the portion of the second conductive film layer 104 located on the second boss 202 from the portion located on the substrate 101, if the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern is formed on the first conductive film layer 311 or the region to be provided with the electrode in the first conductive film layer 311, on the one hand, after the second conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern is aligned with the region to be provided with the electrode in the second conductive film layer 104 and the conductive adhesive pattern, only the portion located on the second boss 202 is contacted with the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern, so that the alignment of the second conductive film layer 104 and the conductive adhesive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern is facilitated, and on the other hand, the pollution to the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern, the first conductive film layer 311 or the solar cell body, and the pollution to the conductive film layer or the conductive film layer 311 to be provided with the electrode in the conductive adhesive pattern can be reduced, on the other hand, and on the other hand, only the portion of the second boss 202 and the conductive film layer or the conductive cell body to be contacted with the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive film layer 311 and the other conductive film layer or the solar cell body can be removed. If the conductive film layer is formed on the second conductive pattern 104, the height difference between the second boss 202 and the substrate 101 can be utilized, so that the portion of the conductive film layer located on the second boss 202 and the portion located on the substrate 101 are disconnected, which has similar beneficial effects, and in order to avoid repetition, the description is omitted here.

The second conductive film layer 104 may be a metal foil, and the step A3 may be: a metal foil is laid on the side of the imprint template where the second bump 202 is formed, and a portion of the metal foil located on the second bump 202 is the second conductive pattern 104. The portion outside the second boss 202 may be attached to the substrate 101 by lamination or the like, preventing displacement of the metal foil, or the like. For example, the surface of the metal foil can be cleaned after the lamination by the roller, so that the pollution of lamination substances to the surface of the metal foil and the like can be reduced. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is not particularly limited. Similarly, by adsorbing the portion of the metal foil located outside the second boss 202 on the substrate 101, if the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern is formed on the first conductive pattern 311 or the region of the first conductive film layer 311 where the electrode is to be disposed, after the second conductive pattern 104 is aligned with the region of the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern where the electrode is to be disposed, only the portion located on the second boss 202 can be ensured to contact the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern, so that the alignment of the second conductive pattern 104 with the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern is facilitated, and at the same time, the portion of the second conductive film layer 104 located on the substrate 101 is not contacted with the region of the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern where the electrode is to be disposed, so that contamination to the conductive film layer or the conductive adhesive pattern, the first conductive film layer 311, or the solar cell body can be reduced. At this time, the portion of the metal foil located on the second boss 202 and the portion located outside the second boss 202 may not be broken before bonding, and may be broken after bonding. The material of the metal foil may be the same as that of the second conductive pattern 104, and in order to avoid repetition, a description thereof will be omitted. For example, the metal foil may be copper foil or the like. If a conductive adhesive film layer or a conductive adhesive pattern is formed on the second conductive pattern 104, similar beneficial effects are provided, and in order to avoid repetition, the description is omitted here.

The surface of the second boss 202 far away from the substrate 101 may have a small burr or the like, which may hold the metal foil, so that the second conductive pattern is not easy to be displaced in the alignment bonding process between the second conductive pattern and the first conductive pattern or the region of the first conductive film layer where the electrode is to be disposed. The material of the metal foil is the same as or similar to the material of the second conductive pattern described above. For example, the metal foil may be copper foil.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 22 or 24, the surface of the second bump 202 remote from the substrate 101 is planar, and the surface of the second conductive pattern 104 thus formed close to the second bump 202 is also planar.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 23, the side of the second boss 202 remote from the substrate 101 includes a second recess 2021, forming a second conductive pattern on the imprint template, including: a second conductive pattern is formed in the second groove 2021, where the surface of the second groove 2021 on the first land 202 serves as a reticle. For example, the area of the cross section of the second groove 2021 is gradually reduced in a direction approaching the substrate 101, and thus, in the finally formed solar cell, the cross section of the portion of the second conductive pattern 104 away from the solar cell body is gradually reduced in a direction away from the solar cell body, and reflection and shading can be reduced. Here, the second conductive pattern is flush with the notch of the second groove 2021, or protrudes from the second groove.

Optionally, the imprinting template includes a possible substrate, and the step A2 may include: and paving a metal foil on the substrate, and patterning the metal foil to form a second conductive pattern. That is to say, a metal foil is laid on the whole layer of the substrate, and then patterning is carried out by means of laser etching and the like, so that a second conductive pattern is formed. The material of the metal foil and the like may be the same as the material of the second conductive pattern 104 or the second conductive film layer 104, and in order to avoid repetition, a description thereof will be omitted.

Optionally, before the step A2, the method may further include: a number of metal foil patterns are provided. The imprinting stamp may include a plurality of adsorption areas, and the step A2 may include: at least one suction area and one metal foil pattern are aligned, and the metal foil pattern is sucked onto the suction area to form a second conductive pattern on the imprint template. For example, the imprint template may include a substrate and a number of adsorption regions disposed on the substrate at intervals. At least one suction area and one metal foil pattern are aligned, and the metal foil pattern is sucked on the suction area to form a second conductive pattern on the substrate. Where the suction zone may be located in a localized area on one surface of the substrate. Alternatively, for example, the substrate may have a bump thereon, the bump may have an adsorption region thereon, at least one adsorption region on the bump may be aligned with one of the metal foil patterns, and the metal foil pattern may be adsorbed on the adsorption region to form the second conductive pattern on the bump of the substrate. The alignment herein may refer to the alignment definition previously described, and will not be repeated here.

For example, the substrate may have a hollow structure, and a vacuum adsorption member, a magnet, or the like may be partially disposed in the hollow structure of the substrate, and the metal foil pattern is adsorbed by the vacuum adsorption member, the magnet, or the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, specific adsorption modes and the like are not particularly limited.

Alternatively, the second conductive pattern 104 may be a metal wire, and the shape and size of the metal wire are not particularly limited. For example, the wire may have a wire diameter of 10-50 microns and a length of 10-1000 microns. The material of the metal wire may be the same as that of the second conductive pattern, and will not be described here again. For example, the metal wire may be made of copper, aluminum, or the like.

Optionally, the surface of the metal wire may be further coated with a coating, and the material of the coating may include: nickel, tin, conductive paste, etc., and the coating of the above material is superior in conductivity, and can appropriately reduce contact resistance between the metal wire and the first conductive pattern 311 or the first conductive film layer 311, etc. The thickness of the coating layer is not particularly limited, and for example, the thickness of the coating layer may be 1 to 10 μm.

The metal wire can be arranged in the first groove 103 or the second groove of the imprinting template, and can be clamped, and after the metal wire is clamped, the metal wire is flush with the notch of the first groove 103 and the notch of the second groove, or the metal wire protrudes out of the notch of the first groove 103 and the notch of the second groove, so that a second conductive pattern is formed on the imprinting template.

Fig. 26 is a schematic view showing a partial structure of a sixth embodiment of the present invention for forming a second conductive pattern. Fig. 27 is a schematic view showing a partial structure of a seventh embodiment of the present invention for forming a second conductive pattern. Alternatively, referring to fig. 26 to 27, the step A2 may include: a seed pattern 1047 is formed on the imprint template, and a plating pattern 1048 is formed on the seed pattern 1047 using electroplating or electroless plating, and the plating pattern 1048 and the seed pattern 1047 together form a second conductive pattern 104. The role of the imprint template here is mainly to: since the receiving base for forming the seed pattern 1047 may be provided, the structure of the imprint template is not limited. For example, referring to fig. 25, the imprint template may include only the substrate 101. The seed pattern 1047 may be formed by deposition, printing, or the like, and the forming method of the seed pattern 1047 is not limited. The material of the plating pattern 1048 may be a material suitable for electroplating or electroless plating, for example, the material of the plating pattern 1048 may be nickel or the like. The material of the seed pattern 1047 may be a material of the seed layer, and for example, the material of the seed pattern 1047 may be copper or the like. In the step A3, the plated pattern 1048 in the second conductive pattern 104 is aligned with the first conductive portion, and the plated pattern 1048 in the second conductive pattern 104 is soldered with the first conductive portion, so that the second conductive pattern 104 is flexibly formed.

For example, referring to fig. 27, in the lamination direction of the solar cell body and the first conductive pattern 311, the second conductive pattern 104 is composed of a seed layer pattern 1047 and a plating pattern 1048 which are laminated. The plating pattern 1048 is close to the solar cell body with respect to the seed layer pattern 1047, and the plating pattern 1048 covers the seed layer pattern 1047. The materials of the plating pattern 1048 and the seed layer pattern 1047 may be described with reference to the foregoing.

Fig. 29 is a schematic view showing a partial structure of an eighth second conductive pattern according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 30 is a schematic view showing a partial structure of a ninth embodiment of the present invention for forming a second conductive pattern. Alternatively, referring to fig. 28 to 30, the imprint template includes a third groove 105. The aforementioned step A2 may include: the second conductive pattern 104 is formed on the imprint template, and the conductive paste pattern 321 is formed on the second conductive pattern 104. The conductive adhesive pattern 321 is flush with the surface of the side of the imprint template on which the third groove 105 is provided, or protrudes from the surface of the side on which the third groove 103 is provided. The second conductive pattern 104 herein may be a wire or the like. A wire or the like may be disposed in the third groove 105 of the above-described imprint template, the wire or the like may be caught, and after the wire is caught, the wire is lower than a notch of the third groove 105 or is flush with the notch of the third groove 105 to form a second conductive pattern on the imprint template. The role of the imprint template here is mainly to: the means for forming the third grooves 105 may be provided, and thus, the structure of the imprint template is not limited. For example, referring to fig. 28, the imprint template may include only the substrate 101. The form of forming the second conductive pattern 104 is flexible and various. The conductive paste pattern 321 may be formed on the second conductive pattern 104 by coating or the like. The aforementioned step A3 may include: the conductive adhesive pattern is aligned with the first conductive portion, the conductive adhesive pattern bonds the second conductive pattern 104 with the first conductive portion, the third groove 105 has a certain limiting effect on the conductive adhesive pattern 321, and the process of forming the conductive adhesive pattern 321 is simpler.
