Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic cells, relates to a heavy doping method, and particularly relates to a laser activated heavy doping method, a photovoltaic cell and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The mass production efficiency of the current mainstream P-type PERC battery gradually approaches the theoretical conversion efficiency limit of 24.5%, the future lifting space is limited, and the lifting difficulty is extremely high. The TOPCon technology is used as the next generation battery technology, has the theoretical conversion efficiency limit of up to 28.7%, is mature in process and clear in efficiency improving path, can be directly upgraded from a PERC production line, greatly reduces equipment investment cost, and is a technical route for key layout of each main stream battery manufacturer.
In TOPCon technology, the double-sided TOPCon battery corresponds to the highest conversion efficiency of 28.7%, and the TOPCon structure (tunnel oxide layer+polysilicon) is prepared on the front side, so that doped polysilicon or selective coating is deposited on the whole area of the front side, the carrier recombination rate on the surface of the battery is further reduced, and the contact resistance is reduced. However, the front-side global deposition of doped polysilicon will result in additional parasitic absorption, affecting light transmittance, while selective plating will involve masking and chemical etching, further increasing process complexity.
In the process of preparing the TOPCon structure (tunneling oxide layer+polysilicon) on the front surface of the photovoltaic cell, the doping mode of polysilicon is one of the key factors influencing the performance of the photovoltaic cell, and the traditional implementation of high doping concentration by adopting a diffusion mode can lead to doping atoms entering a silicon substrate through the tunneling oxide layer, so that auger recombination is increased, and further passivation quality is damaged.
Therefore, how to provide a heavy doping method, to reduce the contact resistance between metal and semiconductor, to avoid the influence of doping atoms on the silicon substrate, to avoid auger recombination and battery damage, and to improve passivation quality, is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a laser activation heavy doping method and a photovoltaic cell, wherein the method reduces contact resistance between metal and semiconductor by heavy doping of impurity atoms in polysilicon, the doped junction depth is short, a tunneling oxide layer is not damaged, the impurity atoms have no influence on a silicon substrate, thus Auger recombination and cell damage are avoided, passivation quality is not influenced while high doping concentration is realized, the conversion efficiency of the obtained photovoltaic cell is high, and open-circuit voltage is high, so that the method is suitable for industrial scale mass production.
In order to achieve the aim of the invention, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
in a first aspect, the present invention provides a method of laser-activated heavy doping, the method comprising:
locally heating and melting polycrystalline silicon on the tunneling oxide layer by adopting laser to obtain molten silicon;
and cooling and crystallizing the molten silicon to form supersaturated doping of electroactive impurity atoms, thereby obtaining the heavily doped polysilicon.
Wherein the polysilicon includes p doped with impurity atoms + Polycrystalline silicon and/or n + Polysilicon, the heavily doped polysilicon including p ++ Polycrystalline silicon and/or n ++ And (3) polycrystalline silicon.
According to the invention, the polysilicon on the tunneling oxide layer is heated and melted locally by laser to obtain molten silicon, so that impurity atoms in the molten silicon break through the limit of solid solubility and are fixed in the polysilicon in the process of cooling and crystallization, supersaturation doping of electroactive impurity atoms is formed, namely, high active impurity atom concentration is formed locally in a metallization region, the contact resistance between metal and semiconductor is reduced, the doped junction is relatively short, the tunneling oxide layer is not damaged, the doped concentration is rapidly reduced at the interface of the polysilicon/tunneling oxide layer/silicon substrate, the doped curve is controllable, and the impurity atoms have no influence on the silicon substrate, thereby avoiding auger recombination and battery damage, and realizing high doped concentration without influencing passivation quality. The Poly-finger structure of the photovoltaic cell manufactured by the method is easy to pattern polysilicon, has less compounding, high passivation quality and large open-circuit voltage, remarkably improves the conversion efficiency, and is suitable for industrial mass production.
It should be noted that the tunnel oxide layer also serves as a barrier to molten silicon in addition to conventional passivation. The tunnel oxide layer ensures that, within certain laser energy limits, the molten silicon does not come into direct contact with the underlying monocrystalline silicon, thereby recrystallizing it into polycrystalline silicon rather than monocrystalline silicon. In addition, based on the barrier of the tunneling oxide layer and the difference of diffusion coefficients of impurity atoms in the molten silicon and the solid silicon, the underlying monocrystalline silicon is not affected by the impurity atoms, thereby realizing the special doping property that the doping concentration at the interface position is rapidly reduced.
In the present invention, the electrically active impurity atoms are impurity atoms in the polysilicon which are activated by laser light, not all impurity atoms diffused into the polysilicon have electrical activity, for example, impurity atoms located at grain boundaries, and such impurity atoms which do not have electrical activity cannot be detected by ECV (electrochemical capacitance-voltage method) and do not contribute to electrical properties.
In certain embodiments, the p + The impurity atoms in the polycrystalline silicon include any one of boron atoms, indium atoms, or gallium atoms.
Setting said p + The hole concentration in the polysilicon is the first hole concentration, the p ++ And if the hole concentration in the polysilicon is a second hole concentration, the second hole concentration is larger than the first hole concentration.
In certain embodiments, the n + The impurity atoms in the polysilicon include any one of phosphorus atoms, antimony atoms, or arsenic atoms.
Setting said n + The electron concentration in the polysilicon is a first electron concentration, n ++ And if the electron concentration in the polysilicon is a second electron concentration, the second electron concentration is larger than the first electron concentration.
In the present invention, the p + Polysilicon refers to polysilicon with higher concentration of 'holes' doped with impurity elements (such as boron element or indium element or gallium element). Said n + Polysilicon refers to polysilicon doped with impurity elements (such as phosphorus element or antimony element or arsenic element, etc.) and containing higher electron concentration. The p is ++ Polysilicon refers to p + Heavily doping impurity atoms in the polysilicon to obtain polysilicon, and p ++ The impurity element concentration of the polysilicon is greater than p + And (3) polycrystalline silicon. Said n ++ Polysilicon refers to n + Impurity in polycrystalline siliconHeavily doping atoms to obtain polysilicon, and n ++ The impurity element concentration of the polysilicon is greater than n + And (3) polycrystalline silicon.

In addition, the energy density of the pulse laser is not lower than 1J/cm 2 Otherwise, a pulsed laser below the activation threshold does not have the effect of activating the impurity atoms.
The invention can realize partial melting or complete melting of the polysilicon layer by regulating and controlling the energy density of the laser activation process, regulates and controls the doping curve, and does not influence the passivation quality.
In some embodiments, the pulsed laser has a wavelength of 300-1500nm, such as 355nm, 365nm, 405nm, 532nm, 540nm, 660nm, 1064nm, or 1080nm, although not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range are equally applicable.
It can be understood that the wavelength of the pulse laser is 300-1500nm, which is favorable for the absorption of the battery piece and improves the processing efficiency of the battery piece.
In some embodiments, the pulse width of the pulse laser is 10ps-500ns, for example, 10ps, 50ps, 100ps, 500ps, 1ns, 10ns, 50ns, 100ns or 500ns, but not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range of values are equally applicable.
