Description

후면전계형 이종접합 태양전지의 제조방법{Method for fabricating back contact type hetero-junction solar cell}Method for fabricating back field type heterojunction solar cell {Method for fabricating back contact type hetero-junction solar cell}

본 발명은 후면전계형 이종접합 태양전지의 제조방법에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 후면의 n 도핑영역과 p 도핑영역을 형성함에 있어서 별도의 마스크 작업이 요구되지 않으며, 이종접합형 태양전지와 후면전계형 태양전지를 접목시켜 태양전지의 광전변환효율을 극대화시킬 수 있는 후면전계형 이종접합 태양전지의 제조방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a back-field heterojunction solar cell, and more particularly, in forming an n-doping region and a p-doping region on the back side, a separate mask operation is not required. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a back field type heterojunction solar cell that can maximize photoelectric conversion efficiency of a solar cell by integrating a solar cell.

태양전지는 태양광을 직접 전기로 변환시키는 태양광 발전의 핵심소자로서, 기본적으로 p-n 접합으로 이루어진 다이오드(diode)라 할 수 있다. 태양광이 태양전지에 의해 전기로 변환되는 과정을 살펴보면, 태양전지의 p-n 접합부에 태양광이 입사되면 전자-정공 쌍이 생성되고, 전기장에 의해 전자는 n층으로, 정공은 p층으로 이동하게 되어 p-n 접합부 사이에 광기전력이 발생되며, 태양전지의 양단에 부하나 시스템을 연결하면 전류가 흐르게 되어 전력을 생산할 수 있게 된다. A solar cell is a key element of photovoltaic power generation that converts sunlight directly into electricity, and is basically a diode composed of a p-n junction. In the process of converting sunlight into electricity by solar cells, when solar light is incident on the pn junction of solar cells, electron-hole pairs are generated, and electrons move to n layers and holes move to p layers by the electric field. Photovoltaic power is generated between the pn junctions, and when a load or a system is connected to both ends of the solar cell, current flows to generate power.

일반적인 태양전지는 전면과 후면에 각각 전면전극과 후면전극이 구비되는 구조를 갖는다. 수광면인 전면에 전면전극이 구비됨에 따라, 전면전극의 면적만큼 수광면적이 줄어들게 된다. 이와 같은 수광면적이 축소되는 문제를 해결하기 위해 후면전계형 태양전지가 제안되었다. 후면전계형 태양전지는 태양전지의 후면 상에 (+)전극과 (-)전극을 구비시켜 태양전지 전면의 수광면적을 극대화하는 것을 특징으로 한다. A general solar cell has a structure in which a front electrode and a rear electrode are provided at the front and the rear, respectively. As the front electrode is provided on the front surface of the light receiving surface, the light receiving area is reduced by the area of the front electrode. In order to solve such a problem that the light receiving area is reduced, a rear field type solar cell has been proposed. The back-field solar cell is characterized by maximizing the light receiving area of the solar cell by providing a (+) electrode and a (-) electrode on the back of the solar cell.

한편, 전술한 바와 같이 태양전지는 p-n 접합으로 이루어진 다이오드라 할 수 있는데, 이는 p형 반도체층과 n형 반도체층의 접합 구조로 이루어진다. 통상, p형 기판에 p형 불순물 이온을 주입하여 p형 반도체층을 형성하여(또는 그 반대) p-n 접합을 구현한다. 이와 같이, 태양전지의 p-n 접합을 구성하기 위해서는 필연적으로 불순물 이온이 주입된 반도체층이 요구된다. On the other hand, as described above, the solar cell may be referred to as a diode consisting of a p-n junction, which consists of a junction structure of a p-type semiconductor layer and an n-type semiconductor layer. Generally, p-type impurity ions are implanted into a p-type substrate to form a p-type semiconductor layer (or vice versa) to implement a p-n junction. As such, in order to construct a p-n junction of a solar cell, a semiconductor layer in which impurity ions are inevitably required is required.

그러나, 광전변환에 의해 생성된 전하가 이동 중에 태양전지의 반도체층에 존재하는 침입형 사이트(interstitial sites) 또는 대체형 사이트(substitutional sites)에 포집되어 재결합되는 경우가 발생하며, 이는 태양전지의 광전변환효율에 악영향을 끼친다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해, p형 반도체층과 n형 반도체층 사이에 진성층(intrinsic layer)을 구비시키는 이른바, 이종접합형(hetero-junction) 태양전지가 제시되었으며 이를 통해 캐리어(carrier)의 재결합률을 저하시킬 수 있다. However, the charge generated by the photoelectric conversion is trapped and recombined at interstitial sites or substitutional sites existing in the semiconductor layer of the solar cell during the movement, which is caused by the photoelectric of the solar cell. Adversely affect the conversion efficiency. In order to solve this problem, a so-called hetero-junction solar cell having an intrinsic layer between the p-type semiconductor layer and the n-type semiconductor layer has been proposed. The recombination rate can be lowered.

본 발명은 이종접합형 태양전지와 후면전계형 태양전지를 접목시켜 태양전지의 광전변환효율을 극대화시킬 수 있는 후면전계형 이종접합 태양전지의 제조방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a back field-type heterojunction solar cell, in which an n-doped region and a p-doped region are formed on the back surface, which does not require a separate mask operation.

이하, 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 후면전계형 이종접합 태양전지의 제조방법을 설명하기로 한다. 도 1은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 후면전 계형 이종접합 태양전지의 제조방법을 설명하기 위한 순서도이고, 도 2a 내지 도 2e는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 후면전계형 이종접합 태양전지의 제조방법을 설명하기 위한 공정 단면도이다. Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a backside field type heterojunction solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of manufacturing a back field heterojunction solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2A to 2E illustrate a manufacturing of a back field heterojunction solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is process cross section for demonstrating a method.

도 1 및 도 2a에 도시한 바와 같이 제 1 도전형 예를 들어, n형의 결정질 실리콘 기판(201)을 준비한다. 그런 다음, 상기 기판(201)의 표면에 요철(202)이 형성되도록 텍스쳐링(texturing) 공정을 진행한다(S101). 상기 텍스쳐링 공정은 광흡수를 극대화하기 위한 것이며, 습식 식각 또는 반응성 이온 식각(reactive ion etching) 등의 건식 식각 방법을 이용하여 진행할 수 있다.As shown in Figs. 1 and 2A, a crystalline silicon substrate 201 of a first conductivity type, for example, an n-type, is prepared. Then, a texturing process is performed such that the unevenness 202 is formed on the surface of the substrate 201 (S101). The texturing process is for maximizing light absorption, and may be performed using a dry etching method such as wet etching or reactive ion etching.

이어, p 접합영역(204) 및 n 접합영역(206) 형성공정을 진행한다. 상기 p 접합영역(204) 형성공정과 n 접합영역(206) 형성공정은 독립적으로 순차적으로 진행되며, 그 순서는 무관하다. 또한, 상기 p 접합영역(204) 및 n 접합영역(206)은 별도의 마스크 작업 없이 진행된다. Subsequently, a process of forming the p junction region 204 and the n junction region 206 is performed. The process of forming the p junction region 204 and the process of forming the n junction region 206 are independently performed sequentially, and the order is irrelevant. In addition, the p junction region 204 and the n junction region 206 proceed without a separate mask operation.

p 접합영역(204) 형성공정을 먼저 진행하는 경우, 도 2b에 도시한 바와 같이 상기 기판(201)의 후면 상에 p형 불순물을 포함하는 액상의 용액을 스프레이 방법을 통해 도포하여 p형 불순물층(203)을 형성한다. 그런 다음, p 접합영역(204)에 상응하는 부위의 기판(201)에 레이저를 조사하여 상기 p형 불순물층(203) 내의 p형 불순물 이온을 기판(201) 내부로 확산시켜 p 접합영역(204)을 형성한다(S102). 이 때, 레이저 조사에 의해 p형 불순물 이온이 기판(201) 내부로 확산됨과 함께 재배열되어 활성화된다. 이어, 기판(201) 후면 상에 잔존하는 p형 불순물층(203)을 제거한다. When the process of forming the p junction region 204 is first performed, a p-type impurity layer is applied by spraying a liquid solution containing p-type impurities on the rear surface of the substrate 201 as shown in FIG. 2B. 203 is formed. Then, the laser beam is irradiated onto the substrate 201 at the portion corresponding to the p junction region 204 to diffuse the p-type impurity ions in the p-type impurity layer 203 into the substrate 201 to form the p-junction region 204. ) Is formed (S102). At this time, the p-type impurity ions diffuse into the substrate 201 and are rearranged and activated by laser irradiation. Next, the p-type impurity layer 203 remaining on the back surface of the substrate 201 is removed.

상기 기판(201) 후면 내부에 p 접합영역(204)이 형성된 상태에서, 도 2c에 도시한 바와 같이 기판(201) 후면 상에 n형 불순물을 포함하는 액상의 용액을 스프레이 방법을 통해 도포하여 n형 불순물층(205)을 형성한다. 그런 다음, n 접합영역(206)에 상응하는 부위의 기판(201)에 레이저를 조사하여 상기 n형 불순물층(205) 내의 n형 불순물 이온을 기판(201) 내부로 확산시켜 n 접합영역(206)을 형성한다(S103). 이에 따라, p 접합영역(204)과 n 접합영역(206)이 교번, 배치되도록 형성된다. In the state where the p junction region 204 is formed inside the rear surface of the substrate 201, a liquid solution containing n-type impurities is applied on the rear surface of the substrate 201 by a spray method, as shown in FIG. 2C. A type impurity layer 205 is formed. Then, the laser is irradiated to the substrate 201 at the portion corresponding to the n junction region 206 to diffuse the n-type impurity ions in the n-type impurity layer 205 into the substrate 201 to form the n-junction region 206. ) Is formed (S103). Accordingly, the p junction region 204 and the n junction region 206 are formed to be alternately arranged.

상기 p 접합영역(204) 및 n 접합영역(206)이 형성된 상태에서, 도 2d에 도시한 바와 같이 상기 기판(201) 전면 상에 불순물 이온이 주입되지 않은 비정질 실리콘 재질의 진성층(207)(intrinsic layer)을 적층한다. 상기 진성층(207)은 플라즈마 강화 화학기상증착법(PECVD, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) 등을 이용하여 형성할 수 있다. In the state where the p junction region 204 and the n junction region 206 are formed, an intrinsic layer 207 of amorphous silicon material in which impurity ions are not implanted on the entire surface of the substrate 201 as shown in FIG. 2D ( Laminate the intrinsic layer. The intrinsic layer 207 may be formed using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).

그런 다음, 상기 진성층(207) 상에 n형 비정질 반도체층(208)(n+ a-Si:H)을 형성한다. 상기 n형 비정질 반도체층(208)은 비정질 실리콘층의 형성시 n형 불순물 이온을 주입하여 형성할 수 있다. 이와 같은 상태에서, 상기 n형 비정질 반도체층(208) 상에 실리콘 질화막 재질의 반사방지막(209)을 형성한다(S104). 이 때, 상기 반사방지막(209)과 n형 비정질 반도체층(208) 사이의 응력을 완화시키기 위해 상기 반사방지막(209) 형성 전에 실리콘 산화막 재질의 버퍼층을 상기 n형 비정질 실리콘층 상에 형성할 수도 있다. Then, an n-type amorphous semiconductor layer 208 (n + a-Si: H) is formed on the intrinsic layer 207. The n-type amorphous semiconductor layer 208 may be formed by implanting n-type impurity ions when forming an amorphous silicon layer. In this state, an anti-reflection film 209 of silicon nitride film material is formed on the n-type amorphous semiconductor layer 208 (S104). In this case, in order to relieve stress between the antireflection film 209 and the n-type amorphous semiconductor layer 208, a buffer layer of a silicon oxide material may be formed on the n-type amorphous silicon layer before the anti-reflection film 209 is formed. have.

이어, 도 2e에 도시한 바와 같이 상기 p 접합영역(204)과 n 접합영역(206) 상에 각각 p 전극(210)과 n 전극(211)을 형성하면(S105) 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 후면전계형 이종접합 태양전지의 제조방법은 완료된다. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2E, when the p electrode 210 and the n electrode 211 are formed on the p junction region 204 and the n junction region 206 (S105), according to an embodiment of the present invention. The manufacturing method of the back-field heterojunction solar cell according to this is completed.
