Definitions
- the invention relates to a solar cell and method for producing a solar cell.
- An emitter wrap-through (EWT) solar cell has no metallization on the front.
- the emitter is passed through a large number of small holes (d ⁇ 100 microns) on the back of the cell and contacted there.
- the light-generated current is conducted via the emitter and the holes on the back of the cell to contacts arranged there and tapped there.
- the strength of emitter doping plays an important role. On the one hand, a higher doping results in a smaller sheet resistance and thus contributes to the reduction of ohmic losses. In addition, the contact resistance between emitter and metallization at a high emitter doping is significantly lower. On the other hand, high doping reduces the ability of the cell, in particular, to convert short-wave light into current (so-called blue sensitivity). Accordingly, a compromise between good conductivity and blue sensitivity must be chosen for the doping.
- US Pat. No. 7,144,751 B1 describes a solar cell in which a higher doping is present in the inner wall of the holes of the solar cell and along a grid on the front side of the solar cell.
- the present invention is based on the object to provide a solar cell with a low effective sheet resistance at the same time high blue sensitivity and methods for producing such a solar cell.
- the present invention provides a solar cell having a plurality of holes in which the front side has highly doped regions and lightly doped regions of a first doping type such that the holes of the solar cell each lie in a highly doped region or adjoin one another.
- the highly doped regions are arranged locally around the holes of the solar cell.
- the individual local highly doped regions are spatially separated from one another and thus do not form a coherent structure on the front side of the solar cell. It is thus provided that the front-side emitter has no homogeneous doping, but rather is highly doped in the immediate vicinity of the holes. Due to this special doping, the majority of the front side, which is lightly doped, has an emitter with high blue sensitivity.
- the heavily doped regions simultaneously reduce series resistance and contact resistance.
- the strength of the doping of the areas of the front side in the immediate vicinity of the holes is decisive for the series resistance of a solar cell.
- the reason for this is that the current in these areas flows approximately radially to the hole and thus in these areas the highest current density occurs. If the radius of the holes is thus heavily doped, the disadvantageous electrical resistance decreases.
- the circumference of the holes, which experiences a high doping, for example, has a radius of between a few 100 microns.
- the solar cell according to the invention is, for example, an EWT solar cell or a metallization wrap-through (MWT) solar cell.
- the front side forms highly doped regions which are substantially circular.
- the highly doped regions form a circular ring with an inner radius and an outer radius, wherein the inner radius corresponds to the radius of the hole which the respective circular ring surrounds. gives.
- the difference in radius between outer radius and inner radius is, for example, between 50 ⁇ m and 300 ⁇ m, in particular between 100 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m.
- the front side forms highly doped regions which radiate star-shaped or fan-shaped from the respective holes.
- the highly doped regions, which radiate star-shaped or fan-shaped from the respective holes in one embodiment each comprise finger-shaped regions.
- the semiconductor substrate and thus the front side of the solar cell have areas without holes.
- bus bars solder joints or bus bars
- EWT solar cells always make a compromise regarding the number of holes. If, as by the present invention, a low series resistance can be realized even with a comparatively small number of holes, the holes may have a relatively large distance from one another, so that larger areas without holes lie between the holes.
- the heavily doped regions of the front comprise regions which extend into the hole-free regions.
- These finger-shaped, heavily doped areas are well-conducting current paths that transport the current collected in the hole-free areas to a hole. This reduces the finger-shaped, highly doped rich the series resistance. At the same time, their transparency ensures good light utilization.
- the highly doped regions as a whole, and in particular the finger-shaped regions which extend into hole-free regions, may in one embodiment be formed in trenches in the semiconductor substrate.
- a method according to the invention for producing an emitter-wrap-through (EWT) solar cell comprises the following steps: providing a planar semiconductor substrate having a front side and a rear side,
- Another method according to the invention for producing an emitter-wrap-through (EWT) solar cell comprises the following steps:
- planar semiconductor substrate having a front side and a rear side
- the entire front side is first heavily doped.
- the diffusion mask is patterned complementary to the diffusion mask of the method of claim 24. Outside the structured diffusion mask, the high doping is removed again. There is then a low doping in these areas. Finally, a complete removal of the diffusion mask takes place at least from the front side.

- the n-doping is formed on the front side 1 1 and extends through the inner wall of the holes 14 to the bottom 12 of the semiconductor substrate 13.
- the bottom side 12 has, in addition to the n-doped regions 121 further, second regions 122, which have a p-type doping. This is the p-doping of the semiconductor substrate 13, which can optionally be locally reinforced by additional doping.
- the n-doped regions 121 of the underside 12 are connected to first electrical contacts 31 in the form of a finger contact.
- the p-doped regions 122 of the underside 12 are connected to second electrical contacts 32, also in the form of a finger contact.

- the contacts for both poles are on the back of the cell.
- the n-type emitter region is passed through many of the tiny holes in the cell from the front to the back and only then contacted there.
- FIG. 1 and 2 do not show all the elements of a complete EWT solar cell. Only those elements are shown which are necessary for the understanding of the present invention.
- an EWT solar cell in addition to the elements shown on the upper side 1 1 for reflection reduction texturing and one or more passivation layers, such as a SiN x layer may have.
- passivation layers and / or diffusion barriers for the electrical separation of the first and second electrical contacts 31, 32 can also be provided on the rear side 12.
- the provided electrical contacts 31, 32 may, for example, aluminum and silver or consist exclusively of silver.
- the front side 1 1, which forms the emitter adjacent to the holes 14 local highly doped regions 21 which thus have, for example, an n ++ - doping.
- These highly doped regions 21 have, for example, the shape of a circular ring, as shown in FIG. However, they can also assume other shapes, for example star-shaped or spiral-shaped. In this case, the heavily doped regions 21 are local in the sense that they do not touch and do not overlap one another.
- the surface is lightly doped (n + doping).
- the Sheet resistance is preferably less than 30 ohms / sq, preferably less than 15 ohms / sq, and in a preferred embodiment, about 5 ohms / sq.
- the area of the remaining surface 22 there is a weak doping with a sheet resistance of, for example, more than 80 ohms / sq.
- FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of an EWT solar cell in which certain local areas are heavily doped on the upper side 11 of the solar cell.
- highly doped regions 23 formed in rows, highly doped regions 24 formed in rows and elongate, finger-shaped narrow regions 25 are provided.
- the holes 14 are arranged, so that the front side in the immediate vicinity of the holes 14 as well as in the embodiment of Figures 1, 2 is highly doped.
- the fingers 25 extend, starting from a hole 14, fan-shaped into a hole-free region 15.
- a hole-free region arises, for example, in that a current busbar (busbar), a soldering point or the like (see also FIG and therefore no holes can be formed in this area.
- busbar current busbar
- soldering point soldering point
- the formation of highly doped fingers 25 ensures that the conductor carriers generated in the hole-free region 15 can be conducted via well-conducting current paths to the holes 14 and from these to the cell rear side 11 to the corresponding contacts 31, 32.
- Corresponding fingers can also be formed, for example, at edge regions of the solar cell 10 or in each case between two holes 14 of a grid, if a small number of holes are present in the solar cell and the grid is correspondingly large. It will also be pointed out that corresponding fingers which extend into hole-free regions can be realized in combination with the embodiment of FIG.
- the fingers 25 have a width less than or equal to 50 ⁇ m. In one embodiment, the fingers 25 have a variable width, whereby they preferably taper towards their end facing away from the associated hole.

- FIG. 6 shows a diffusion mask 40 applied to the semiconductor substrate 13, which has line-shaped or strip-shaped recesses 42, each of which comprises a row of holes.
- the mask 40 serves in each case to mask a strong diffusion, for example with phosphorus.
- the mask of Figure 6 is compared to the mask of Figure 5 easier to manufacture, but leads to an EWT solar cell with a lower efficiency due to a lower sensitivity to blue.
- a mask according to FIGS. 5 or 6 is produced, for example, by initially applying a diffusion mask 40 to the semiconductor substrate 13 over the whole area.
- the semiconductor substrate 13 is oxidized, for example, so that an SiO 2 layer is formed.
- a diffusion barrier can also be produced in another way.
- the existing example of silicon dioxide diffusion mask 40 has a thickness of, for example, 200 nm. This layer is not penetrated by the dopants within the usual diffusion conditions: since oxide impedes diffusion, the natural surface oxide also has a disturbing effect and prevents a uniform penetration of the dopant into the silicon crystal.
- the diffusion mask 40 is applied at least on the front side of the solar cell, but preferably both on the front and on the back.
- a selective removal of the diffusion mask in the subregions 41 and 42 of FIGS. 5 and 6 takes place.
- the selective removal of the diffusion mask in these regions can take place in various ways.
- a first embodiment for this provides that an etching paste is applied in the corresponding areas on the front side.
- etching paste is applied in round areas 41, which each contain a hole 14.
- the etching paste is applied in strips, with each strip 42 containing a row of holes. The etching paste removes the diffusion mask in the applied areas.
- the removal of the mask material in the regions 41, 42 in question takes place by laser ablation.
- a line or punctiform laser spot is used.
- the diffusion mask is etched through a patterned etch layer.
- the structured etching layer is applied, for example, by screen printing, by an inkjet method or by dispensing.
- a fourth embodiment uses the capillary effect.
- the underside 12 of the solar cell 10 is immersed in an etching solution. Due to the capillary effect, the etching solution is pulled through the holes 14 to the front 1 1.
- a local area around the holes 14 is etched, with some etching solution flowing out of the holes and / or etching through the vapors of the solution.
- a strong diffusion of a dopant now takes place. For example, there is a strong diffusion with phosphorus.
- the diffusion takes place in the throughflow method, wherein a carrier gas (Ar, N 2 ) is enriched to a desired extent with dopant from a source and passed into a quartz tube, in which the semiconductor substrate is located.
- a carrier gas Ar, N 2
- a dopant source for example, PH 3 is used.
- a liquid dopant source such as POCl 3, is used.
- the respective liquid is then in a tempered bubbler vessel, which is purged by the carrier gas. With the carrier gas, the dopant passes into the quartz tube for diffusion.
- the diffusion mask 40 is completely removed from the cell front side 1 1. Subsequently, a slight diffusion takes place to provide lightly doped regions on the front side of the solar cell. The light diffusion takes place for example also by means of phosphorus.
- FIG. 7 shows a typical structure of a current-collecting back contact of an EWT solar cell.
- the rear side has first finger contacts 31 of a positive polarity, second finger contacts 32 of a negative polarity, and a total of four current bus bars (busbars) 33, 34, of which two are each of the same polarity.
- the currents collected via the finger contacts 31, 32 are picked off from the solar cell via the busbars 33, 34.
