Solar cells generate electrical energy by using photoelectric effect of pn junction that converts photon of sunlight into electricity.

The photovoltaic effect of the pn junction is induced in the solar cell by the sunlight incident on the semiconductor wafer, and the electrons generated from the pn junction provide a current flowing to the outside through the electrode.

The electrode of such a solar cell can be formed in a predetermined pattern on the surface of the wafer by applying, patterning and firing the composition for electrode formation.

In order to improve the conversion efficiency of the solar cell, the contact resistance (Rc) and the series resistance (Rs) can be minimized by improving the contact with the wafer, or the line width of the screen mask line is formed to increase the short-circuit current I sc . However, a method of reducing the line width of the electrode pattern using a screen mask may cause an increase in the series resistance Rs and may deteriorate the continuous printability of the fine pattern.

The composition for electrode formation uses an organic vehicle to impart viscosity and rheological properties suitable for printing, and the organic vehicle may typically include an organic binder, a solvent, and the like.

Development of an organic binder capable of improving the printing property of the composition for electrode formation has been desired.

One embodiment provides a composition for forming an electrode capable of forming a fine pattern with high resolution and having excellent printing characteristics.

Another embodiment provides an electrode made of the electrode forming composition.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

In the drawings, the thickness is enlarged to clearly represent the layers and regions. Like parts are designated with like reference numerals throughout the specification. It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, plate, or the like is referred to as being "on" another portion, it includes not only the element directly over another element, Conversely, when a part is "directly over" another part, it means that there is no other part in the middle.

Unless otherwise specified herein, "substituted" means that at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, I), a hydroxy group, a C1 to C20 alkoxy group, a nitro group, a cyano group, A thiol group, an ester group, an ether group, a carboxyl group or a salt thereof, a sulfonic acid group or a salt thereof, a phosphoric acid group or a salt thereof, a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, a C 1 -C 6 alkoxy group, A C2 to C20 alkynyl group, a C6 to C30 aryl group, a C3 to C20 cycloalkyl group, a C3 to C20 cycloalkenyl group, a C3 to C20 cycloalkynyl group, a C2 to C20 alkynyl group, Means a substituted with a substituent of a heterocycloalkyl group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a C2 to C20 heterocycloalkenyl group, a C2 to C20 heterocycloalkynyl group, a C3 to C30 heteroaryl group, or a combination thereof.

The composition for electrode formation according to one embodiment includes conductive powder; Glass frit; Organic binders; And a solvent. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The conductive powder may have a spherical shape, a plate shape, or an amorphous shape. The average particle diameter (D50) of the conductive powder is preferably 0.1 占 퐉 to 10 占 퐉, and more preferably 0.5 占 퐉 to 5 占 퐉. The average particle diameter was measured using a 1064LD model manufactured by CILAS after dispersing the conductive powder in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at room temperature (24 ° C to 25 ° C) for 3 minutes using ultrasonic waves. Within this range, the contact resistance and line resistance can be lowered.

Increasing the area of the solar cell in order to increase the efficiency of the solar cell may increase the contact resistance of the solar cell. Therefore, the damage to the pn junction should be minimized while the series resistance should be minimized. In addition, it is preferable to use a glass frit which can sufficiently secure thermal stability even at a wide firing temperature because the range of variation in firing temperature becomes large as wafers of various sheet resistances increase.

The glass frit may be at least one selected from the group consisting of Pb, Tell, Bi, Li, P, Ge, (Si), Zn (Zn), W, Mg, Cs, Sr, Mo, Ti, (V), Ba, Ni, Cu, Na, K, As, Cob, Zr, Mn and Aluminum (Al), and the like.

The glass frit may be derived from an oxide of the metallic element described above using conventional methods. For example, a mixture prepared by mixing the oxides of the metal elements in a specific composition may be melted, quenched, and then ground again. The mixing process may be performed using a ball mill or a planetary mill. The melting process may be performed at a temperature of 700 ° C to 1300 ° C, and the crystallization process may be performed at room temperature (24 ° C to 25 ° C). The pulverizing process may be performed using a disk mill, But the present invention is not limited thereto.

The glass frit may have an average particle diameter (D50) of 0.1 탆 to 10 탆, and may be contained in an amount of 0.5 to 20% by weight based on 100% by weight of the total amount of the electrode forming composition. Within the above range, the adhesion strength of the electrode can be improved within a range that does not impair the electrical characteristics of the electrode.

The shape of the glass frit may be spherical or non-shape. In one embodiment, two types of glass frit having different transition temperatures may be used. For example, a first glass frit having a transition temperature of 200 ° C or higher and 350 ° C or lower and a second glass frit having a transition temperature of 350 ° C or higher and 550 ° C or lower may be mixed at a weight ratio of 1: 0.2 to 1: 1.

Thereafter, a composition for forming an electrode containing aluminum was printed on the rear surface of the wafer by back printing and then dried by the same method. The cells thus formed were fired at 400 to 950 DEG C for 30 seconds to 50 seconds using a belt-type firing furnace to form a pattern. The line width and the thickness of the electrode lines in each process step, that is, the line width (L1), the line width after drying (L2), the line width after firing (L3) and the thickness after firing (D1) were measured using a VK equipment (KEYENCE VK9710) . The results are shown in Table 2 below. The change with time (? (L2-L1)) of the line width and the aspect ratio after firing were calculated and are shown together in Table 2.

It can be seen from Table 2 that the composition for electrode formation according to Examples 1 to 4 using the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 as an organic binder has excellent storage stability and little change with time over the line width as compared with Comparative Example 1 using ethylcellulose, It can be seen that the fine line width can be realized because the aspect ratio is excellent.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
