Description

太陽能電池、太陽能電池模組及其製作方法 Solar battery, solar battery module and manufacturing method thereof

本發明係關於太陽能電池之領域,特別是關於一種具有透明導電膜之太陽能電池、太陽能模組及其製作方法。 The present invention relates to the field of solar cells, and more particularly to a solar cell having a transparent conductive film, a solar module, and a method of fabricating the same.

隨著消耗性能源日益枯竭,太陽能等替代能源的開發已成為世界各國重要之發展方向,其中,業界大多致力於開發具有高轉換效率(conversion efficiency)和低製作成本的太陽能電池。 With the depletion of consumable energy, the development of alternative energy sources such as solar energy has become an important development direction in the world. Most of the industry is committed to developing solar cells with high conversion efficiency and low production cost.

在主流太陽能電池中,一般會在太陽能電池的表面上設置透明導電膜,例如由氧化物所組成之透明導電膜,致使光電流能夠更有效地傳導至金屬電極以及外部負載。由於透明導電膜會電連接至太陽能電池表面的金屬電極,因此產生於電池內部之載子不僅可以直接由半導體基板內部流動至金屬電極,其也可以先進入透明導電膜,之後再傳導至金屬電極。在這樣的情況下,可以減少載子在半導體基板內部的停留時間,因此增加了電流輸出量。 In mainstream solar cells, a transparent conductive film, such as a transparent conductive film composed of an oxide, is generally disposed on the surface of the solar cell, so that the photocurrent can be more efficiently conducted to the metal electrode and the external load. Since the transparent conductive film is electrically connected to the metal electrode on the surface of the solar cell, the carrier generated inside the battery can not only directly flow from the inside of the semiconductor substrate to the metal electrode, but also can enter the transparent conductive film first, and then conduct to the metal electrode. . In such a case, the residence time of the carrier inside the semiconductor substrate can be reduced, thus increasing the current output.

然而,上述具有透明導電膜的太陽能電池仍存有改進之空間。舉例而言,金屬電極一般係設置於透明導電膜之上,由於金屬電極和透明導電膜間具有較差的附著性,此導致金屬電極易在後續的製程階段或是使用階段產生剝離,降低了太陽能電池或相應模組的可靠度。 However, there is still room for improvement in the above solar cell having a transparent conductive film. For example, the metal electrode is generally disposed on the transparent conductive film. Due to the poor adhesion between the metal electrode and the transparent conductive film, the metal electrode is easily peeled off in a subsequent process stage or use stage, thereby reducing solar energy. The reliability of the battery or the corresponding module.

有鑑於此,有必要提供一種具有透明導電膜之太陽能電池,以解 決存在於習知技術中之缺陷。 In view of this, it is necessary to provide a solar cell with a transparent conductive film to solve It is a flaw in the prior art.

本發明之一目的在於提供一種太陽能電池,以解決存在於習知技術中的缺陷。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a solar cell that addresses the deficiencies found in the prior art.

本發明之另一目的在於提供一種太陽能電池模組,其包括改良的太陽能電池,以解決存在於習知技術中的缺陷。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell module including an improved solar cell to address the deficiencies found in the prior art.

It should be noted that the drawings are for illustrative purposes and are not drawn exactly according to the original dimensions.

請參照第1圖和第2圖,其分別繪示了本發明第一實施例太陽能電池的俯視圖和剖面圖,其中第2圖係沿著第1圖切線A-A’所繪示。如第1圖和第2圖所示,太陽能電池100至少包括基板102、本質(intrinsic)非晶半導體層108、非晶半導體層110、透明導電膜122以及導電金屬層115。其中,基板102具有第一導電型,較佳為N型,且具有至少一表面,例如第一表面104,以作為接受太陽光之主要受光面。本質非晶半導體層108、非晶半導體層110以及透明導電膜122係依序設置於第一表面104上。透明導電膜122內設置有開口O,其可以暴露出部份之非晶半導體層110。導電金屬層115係填滿開口O並且直接接觸暴露出於開口O的非晶半導體層110。其中,導電金屬層115和非晶半導體層110間具有平坦接面,且導電金屬層115之底面實質上會切齊透明導電膜122之底面。需注意的是,全文所指的「實質上會切齊」係指匯流電極115的底面會切齊或略深於透明導電膜122的底面。 Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, there are shown a plan view and a cross-sectional view, respectively, of a solar cell according to a first embodiment of the present invention, wherein Fig. 2 is taken along a line A-A' of Fig. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the solar cell 100 includes at least a substrate 102, an intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 108, an amorphous semiconductor layer 110, a transparent conductive film 122, and a conductive metal layer 115. The substrate 102 has a first conductivity type, preferably an N type, and has at least one surface, such as the first surface 104, as a main light receiving surface for receiving sunlight. The intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 108, the amorphous semiconductor layer 110, and the transparent conductive film 122 are sequentially disposed on the first surface 104. An opening O is provided in the transparent conductive film 122, which exposes a portion of the amorphous semiconductor layer 110. The conductive metal layer 115 fills the opening O and directly contacts the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 exposed to the opening O. The conductive metal layer 115 and the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 have a flat junction, and the bottom surface of the conductive metal layer 115 substantially cuts the bottom surface of the transparent conductive film 122. It should be noted that the term "substantially aligned" as used herein means that the bottom surface of the bus electrode 115 is aligned or slightly deeper than the bottom surface of the transparent conductive film 122.

具體來說,上述基板102係為結晶半導體基板,例如是單晶矽基板、多晶矽基板或是III-V族化合物基板,較佳為單晶矽基板。本質非晶半導體層108之主體可以是本質半導體,較佳係為本質非晶矽(intrinsic amorphous silicon),其係用以修補存在於第一表面104上之缺陷。非晶半導體層110具有相異於第一導電型之第二導電型,例如P型,致使非晶半導體層110和基板102間會存有PN接面。非晶半導體層110之主體可以是具有摻質之半導體,較佳為具有P型摻質之非晶矽。另外,透明導電膜122之組成主體可以是氧化物,例如氧化銦錫(indium tin oxide,ITO)、氧化銦鋅(indium zinc oxide,IZO)等透明導電氧化物(transparent conductive oxide,TCO),但不限於此。導電 金屬層115可以包括依序堆疊的電極層116和金屬漿料層124,使得部份電極層116會被設置於基板102和金屬漿料層124之間,並且被金屬漿料層124完全包覆。其中電極層116可進一步包括匯流電極117及指狀電極118,而呈現如第1圖所示之佈局,但不限於此。 Specifically, the substrate 102 is a crystalline semiconductor substrate, and is, for example, a single crystal germanium substrate, a polycrystalline germanium substrate, or a III-V compound substrate, and is preferably a single crystal germanium substrate. The body of the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 108 may be an intrinsic semiconductor, preferably an intrinsic amorphous silicon, which is used to repair defects present on the first surface 104. The amorphous semiconductor layer 110 has a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, for example, a P-type, such that a PN junction exists between the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 and the substrate 102. The body of the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 may be a semiconductor having a dopant, preferably an amorphous germanium having a P-type dopant. In addition, the constituent body of the transparent conductive film 122 may be an oxide, such as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO), but Not limited to this. Conductive The metal layer 115 may include the electrode layer 116 and the metal paste layer 124 stacked in sequence such that a portion of the electrode layer 116 is disposed between the substrate 102 and the metal paste layer 124 and completely covered by the metal paste layer 124. . The electrode layer 116 may further include the bus electrode 117 and the finger electrode 118, and presents a layout as shown in FIG. 1, but is not limited thereto.

本發明之一特徵在於透明導電膜122內設置有開口O,致使導電金屬層115可以被嵌入至透明導電膜122內,且導電金屬層115可直接接觸暴露出於開口O的非晶半導體層110。由於導電金屬層115係被嵌入固定於透明導電膜122,且導電金屬層115與非晶半導體層110間的附著性優於其與透明導電膜122間的附著性,因此導電金屬層115不易在後續的製程階段或是使用階段剝離,因此可以提昇太陽能電池的可靠度。此外,本發明另一特徵在於電極層116較佳會以開口O為中心對稱設置,致使應力可以平均分佈在開口O兩側,而減少破片的發生。 One of the features of the present invention is that an opening O is provided in the transparent conductive film 122, so that the conductive metal layer 115 can be embedded in the transparent conductive film 122, and the conductive metal layer 115 can directly contact the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 exposed to the opening O. . Since the conductive metal layer 115 is embedded and fixed to the transparent conductive film 122, and the adhesion between the conductive metal layer 115 and the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 is superior to the adhesion between the conductive conductive layer 122 and the transparent conductive film 122, the conductive metal layer 115 is not easily The subsequent process phase or the use phase is stripped, so the reliability of the solar cell can be improved. In addition, another feature of the present invention is that the electrode layer 116 is preferably symmetrically disposed about the opening O such that stress can be evenly distributed on both sides of the opening O to reduce the occurrence of fragments.

上述之太陽能電池100另可包括其他元件。仍參考第2圖,舉例來說,低電阻之導電帶(ribbon)126,例如金屬導電帶,可設置或貼覆在導電金屬層115之頂面上,以進一步將電流傳輸至外部負載。基板102另包括第二表面106,其上依序設置有本質非晶半導體層112、非晶半導體層114以及電極層120。此外,可選擇性地在第二表面106上設置透明導電層(圖未示)或導電帶(圖未示),但不限於此。再者,抗反射層(圖未示)可以選擇性地被設置在第一表面104及/或第二表面106上,以降低光反射率。需注意的是,即便設置抗反射層,仍應滿足導電金屬層115和非晶半導體層110間具有平坦接面128,且導電金屬層115底面實質上會切齊透明導電膜122底面之特徵。 The solar cell 100 described above may further include other components. Still referring to FIG. 2, for example, a low resistance conductive ribbon 126, such as a metal conductive strip, may be placed or applied over the top surface of the conductive metal layer 115 to further transfer current to an external load. The substrate 102 further includes a second surface 106 on which an intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 112, an amorphous semiconductor layer 114, and an electrode layer 120 are sequentially disposed. Further, a transparent conductive layer (not shown) or a conductive tape (not shown) may be selectively disposed on the second surface 106, but is not limited thereto. Furthermore, an anti-reflective layer (not shown) may be selectively disposed on the first surface 104 and/or the second surface 106 to reduce the light reflectivity. It should be noted that even if an anti-reflection layer is provided, it should be satisfied that the conductive metal layer 115 and the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 have a flat junction 128, and the bottom surface of the conductive metal layer 115 substantially aligns the bottom surface of the transparent conductive film 122.

具體來說,本質非晶半導體層112之主體可以是本質半導體,較佳為本質非晶矽,其係用以修補存在於第二表面106上之缺陷。非晶半導體 層114之導電型較佳相同於基板102之導電型,亦即第一導電型,其主體可以是具有摻質之半導體,較佳為具有N型摻質之非晶矽。電極層120之組成可包括銀、鋁或其他合適之金屬。 In particular, the body of the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 112 may be an intrinsic semiconductor, preferably an intrinsic amorphous germanium, which is used to repair defects present on the second surface 106. Amorphous semiconductor The conductivity type of the layer 114 is preferably the same as that of the substrate 102, that is, the first conductivity type, and the main body thereof may be a semiconductor having a dopant, preferably an amorphous germanium having an N-type dopant. The composition of electrode layer 120 can include silver, aluminum, or other suitable metal.

本發明的太陽能電池除了上述實施例外,另可衍生其他變化型。於下文中,將加以描述這些變化型。需注意的是,由於下述變化型之結構大致類似於上述之實施例,因此以下僅就主要差異處加以描述,且相類似的元件與結構可以搭配參照。 The solar cell of the present invention may be derived from other variations in addition to the above-described embodiments. These variations will be described below. It is to be noted that since the structure of the following modifications is substantially similar to the above-described embodiments, the following description will be made only with respect to the main differences, and similar elements and structures may be referred to with reference.

第3圖是根據本發明另一實施例對應於第1圖A-A’切線所繪示之太陽能電池剖面圖。如第3圖所示,第3圖實施例係為第2圖實施例的變化型,兩者主要差異處在於,本實施例太陽能電池100的匯流電極117(或視為電極層116)和金屬漿料層124均會直接接觸暴露出開口O之非晶半導體層110,致使匯流電極117及金屬漿料層124會與非晶半導體層110形成平坦接面128。類似地,匯流電極117較佳會以開口O為中心對稱設置,致使應力可以平均分佈在開口O兩側,而減少破片的發生。本實施例之太陽能電池100除了匯流電極117不會完全填滿開口O外,其餘各部件的特徵、設置位置以及材料特性均相似於上述實施例,故在此並不再贅述。 Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a solar cell according to a tangential line of Fig. 1A-A' according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the embodiment of FIG. 3 is a modification of the embodiment of FIG. 2, and the main difference between the two is that the bus electrode 117 (or the electrode layer 116) and the metal of the solar cell 100 of the present embodiment are different. The slurry layer 124 directly contacts the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 exposing the opening O, so that the bus electrode 117 and the metal paste layer 124 form a flat junction 128 with the amorphous semiconductor layer 110. Similarly, the bus electrodes 117 are preferably symmetrically disposed about the opening O such that stress can be evenly distributed on both sides of the opening O to reduce the occurrence of fragments. The solar cell 100 of the present embodiment, except that the bus electrode 117 does not completely fill the opening O, the features, arrangement locations, and material properties of the remaining components are similar to those of the above embodiment, and thus will not be described herein.

第4圖是根據本發明又一實施例對應於第1圖A-A’切線所繪示之太陽能電池剖面圖。如第4圖所示,第4圖實施例係為第2圖實施例的變化型,兩者主要差異處在於,本實施例太陽能電池100的金屬漿料層124會填滿開口O並直接接觸暴露出開口O之非晶半導體層110,致使匯流電極117(或視為電極層116)完全不會接觸到非晶半導體層110。此外,部份匯流電極117會突出於金屬漿料層124,但不限於此。需注意的是,即便部份匯流電極117會突出於金屬漿料層124,匯流電極117較佳仍會以開口O為中心 對稱設置,致使應力可以平均分佈在開口O兩側,而減少破片的發生。本實施例之太陽能電池100除了匯流電極117不會直接接觸非晶半導體層110外,其餘各部件的特徵、設置位置以及材料特性均相似於上述實施例,故在此並不再贅述。 Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a solar cell according to a tangential line of Fig. 1A-A' according to still another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the embodiment of FIG. 4 is a variation of the embodiment of FIG. 2. The main difference between the two is that the metal paste layer 124 of the solar cell 100 of the present embodiment fills the opening O and directly contacts. The amorphous semiconductor layer 110 of the opening O is exposed such that the bus electrode 117 (or as the electrode layer 116) does not contact the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 at all. Further, the partial bus electrode 117 may protrude from the metal paste layer 124, but is not limited thereto. It should be noted that even if the partial bus electrode 117 protrudes from the metal paste layer 124, the bus electrode 117 is preferably centered on the opening O. Symmetrically placed, the stress can be evenly distributed on both sides of the opening O, reducing the occurrence of fragments. The solar cell 100 of the present embodiment, except that the bus electrode 117 does not directly contact the amorphous semiconductor layer 110, the features, arrangement positions, and material properties of the remaining components are similar to those of the above embodiment, and thus will not be described herein.

以上介紹了本發明之第一實施例及其變化型,但本發明不限於此。於下文中,將加以描述本發明之第二實施例。需注意的是下述第二實施例之結構大致類似於上述第一實施例,因此以下僅就主要差異處加以描述,且相類似的元件與結構可以搭配參照。 The first embodiment of the present invention and its modifications have been described above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. It is to be noted that the structure of the second embodiment described below is substantially similar to that of the first embodiment described above, and therefore only the main differences will be described below, and similar elements and structures may be referred to.

請參照第5圖和第6圖,其分別繪示了本發明第二實施例太陽能電池的俯視圖和剖面圖,其中第6圖係沿著第5圖切線B-B’所繪示。第二實施例與第一實施例之主要差異處在於,第二實施例的太陽能電池100的電極層116係為指狀電極118,而不包括匯流電極(圖未示),因此可呈現如第5圖所示之佈局。在此情況下,導電金屬層115內的金屬漿料層124會包覆各個指狀電極118的部份區域。具體來說,如第6圖所示,本實施例之透明導電膜122內同樣會設置有開口O,其可以暴露出部份之非晶半導體層110。指狀電極118係填滿開口O並且直接接觸暴露出於開口O的非晶半導體層110。其中,指狀電極118和非晶半導體層110間具有平坦接面128,且指狀電極118底面會切齊透明導電膜122底面。本實施例之太陽能電池100除了電極層為指狀電極118外,其餘各部件的特徵、設置位置以及材料特性均相似於上述第一實施例,故在此並不再贅述。 Referring to Figures 5 and 6, there are shown top and cross-sectional views, respectively, of a solar cell according to a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein Figure 6 is taken along line B-B' of Figure 5. The main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the electrode layer 116 of the solar cell 100 of the second embodiment is a finger electrode 118, and does not include a bus electrode (not shown), and thus can be presented as Figure 5 shows the layout. In this case, the metal paste layer 124 in the conductive metal layer 115 covers a portion of each of the finger electrodes 118. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the transparent conductive film 122 of the present embodiment is also provided with an opening O which exposes a portion of the amorphous semiconductor layer 110. The finger electrode 118 fills the opening O and directly contacts the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 exposed to the opening O. The finger electrode 118 and the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 have a flat junction 128 therebetween, and the bottom surface of the finger electrode 118 is aligned with the bottom surface of the transparent conductive film 122. The solar cell 100 of the present embodiment has similar features, arrangement positions, and material characteristics to the first embodiment except that the electrode layer is the finger electrode 118, and thus will not be described herein.

上述第二實施例亦可衍生其他變化型。如第7圖所示,其是根據本發明第二實施例變化型對應於第5圖B-B’切線所繪示之太陽能電池剖面圖。本變化型與上述第二實施例之主要差異在於,太陽能電池100的金屬漿 料層124會填滿開口O並直接接觸暴露出開口O之非晶半導體層110,致使指狀電極118完全不會接觸到非晶半導體層110。本實施例之太陽能電池100除了指狀電極118不會直接接觸非晶半導體層110外,其餘各部件的特徵、設置位置以及材料特性均相似於上述第二實施例,故在此並不再贅述。 The second embodiment described above can also be derived from other variations. As shown in Fig. 7, it is a cross-sectional view of a solar cell according to a variation of the second embodiment of the present invention corresponding to the tangential line of Fig. 5B-B'. The main difference between this variant and the second embodiment described above is that the metal paste of the solar cell 100 The material layer 124 fills the opening O and directly contacts the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 exposing the opening O, so that the finger electrode 118 does not contact the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 at all. The solar cell 100 of the present embodiment is similar to the second embodiment except that the finger electrode 118 does not directly contact the amorphous semiconductor layer 110. The features, arrangement positions, and material properties of the other components are similar to those of the second embodiment. .

在上述實施例中,係以異質接面矽太陽能電池作為本發明之應用標的,然而本發明並不以此為限。具體而言,在不違背本發明之範疇以及精神下,太陽能電池亦可以是同質接面(homojunction)太陽能電池,例如具有摻雜區的單晶矽太陽能電池。於下文中,將加以描述同質接面太陽能電池。需注意的是下述實施例之結構大致類似於上述第一實施例,因此以下僅就主要差異處加以描述,且相類似的元件與結構可以搭配參照。 In the above embodiments, a heterojunction solar cell is used as the application target of the present invention, but the invention is not limited thereto. In particular, the solar cell may also be a homojunction solar cell, such as a single crystal germanium solar cell having a doped region, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. In the following, a homojunction solar cell will be described. It is to be noted that the structure of the following embodiment is substantially similar to that of the first embodiment described above, and therefore only the main differences will be described below, and similar elements and structures may be referred to.

第8圖是根據本發明第三實施例對應於第1圖A-A’切線所繪示之太陽能電池剖面圖。如第8圖所示,太陽能電池100至少包括基板102、摻雜區134、透明導電膜122以及導電金屬層115,其亦可選擇性地另包括導電帶126、電極層120以及抗反射層(圖未示)。其中,基板102係為結晶半導體基板,例如是單晶矽基板、多晶矽基板或是III-V族化合物基板,較佳係為單晶矽基板。基板102具有至少一表面,例如第一表面104,以作為接受太陽光之主要受光面。摻雜區134係被設置於基板102內,且兩者較佳具有相異之導電型,以於其間形成PN接面。類似上述第一實施例,透明導電膜122內設置有開口O,其可以暴露出部份基板102(或視為暴露出部份摻雜區134)。導電金屬層115係填滿開口O並且直接接觸暴露出於開口O的基板102(或視為摻雜區134)。其中,導電金屬層115和基板102間具有平坦接面128,且導電金屬層115之底面會切齊透明導電膜122之底面。本實施例之太陽能電池100除了設置有摻雜區134外,其餘各部件的特徵、設置位置以及材料特性均相似於上述第一實施例,故在此並不再贅述。 Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a solar cell according to a tangential line of Fig. 1A-A' according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the solar cell 100 includes at least a substrate 102, a doped region 134, a transparent conductive film 122, and a conductive metal layer 115, which may optionally further include a conductive strip 126, an electrode layer 120, and an anti-reflection layer ( The figure is not shown). The substrate 102 is a crystalline semiconductor substrate, for example, a single crystal germanium substrate, a polycrystalline germanium substrate, or a III-V compound substrate, and is preferably a single crystal germanium substrate. The substrate 102 has at least one surface, such as the first surface 104, as the primary light receiving surface for receiving sunlight. The doped regions 134 are disposed within the substrate 102, and both preferably have different conductivity types to form a PN junction therebetween. Similar to the first embodiment described above, the transparent conductive film 122 is provided with an opening O which exposes a portion of the substrate 102 (or is considered to expose a portion of the doped region 134). The conductive metal layer 115 fills the opening O and directly contacts the substrate 102 exposed to the opening O (or is considered to be the doped region 134). The conductive metal layer 115 and the substrate 102 have a flat junction 128 therebetween, and the bottom surface of the conductive metal layer 115 is aligned with the bottom surface of the transparent conductive film 122. The solar cell 100 of the present embodiment is similar to the first embodiment except that the doping region 134 is provided, and the features, arrangement positions, and material properties of the remaining components are not described herein.

為了使本領域通常知識者能實施本發明,下文中將配合圖式,詳細說明本發明太陽能電池之製作方法。 In order to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, the method of making the solar cell of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

第9圖至第12圖是本發明一實施例之太陽能電池製作方法。首先如第9圖和第10圖所示,其中第10圖是沿著第9圖中C-C’切線所繪示之剖面圖。首先提供基板102,其具有至少一表面。具體而言,基板102具有兩相對之第一表面104和第二表面106。第一表面104和第二表面106上分別依序堆疊有本質非晶半導體層108、112以及非晶半導體層110、114。本質非晶半導體層108、112以及非晶半導體層110、114可以分別是本質非晶矽層和摻雜非晶矽層。具體而言,非晶半導體層110、114其中一者之導電型會相同於基板102之導電型,而另一者則會相異。較佳來說,基板102和非晶半導體層110具有第一導電型,例如N型,而非晶半導體層114具有第二導電型,例如P型。接著,提供遮罩130,例如硬板或光阻,以覆蓋住部份第一表面104。具體來說,遮罩130係呈現條狀,並且直接接觸部份非晶半導體層110,但本發明不限於此。根據其他需求,遮罩130亦可呈現彎曲狀或非連續狀,而且遮罩130可以不直接接觸非晶半導體層110,致使兩者間具有間隙(圖未示)。 9 to 12 are views showing a method of fabricating a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C' in Fig. 9. A substrate 102 is first provided having at least one surface. In particular, the substrate 102 has two opposing first and second surfaces 104, 106. On the first surface 104 and the second surface 106, the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layers 108, 112 and the amorphous semiconductor layers 110, 114 are sequentially stacked, respectively. The intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layers 108, 112 and the amorphous semiconductor layers 110, 114 may be an intrinsic amorphous germanium layer and a doped amorphous germanium layer, respectively. Specifically, one of the amorphous semiconductor layers 110, 114 has the same conductivity type as the substrate 102, and the other is different. Preferably, the substrate 102 and the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 have a first conductivity type, such as an N type, and the amorphous semiconductor layer 114 has a second conductivity type, such as a P type. Next, a mask 130, such as a hard plate or photoresist, is provided to cover a portion of the first surface 104. Specifically, the mask 130 is strip-shaped and directly contacts a portion of the amorphous semiconductor layer 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto. According to other requirements, the mask 130 may also be curved or discontinuous, and the mask 130 may not directly contact the amorphous semiconductor layer 110, resulting in a gap therebetween (not shown).

如第11圖所示,進行沉積製程132,同時於非晶半導體層110上以及遮罩130頂面上形成透明導電膜122。需注意的是,由於部份非晶半導體層110會被遮罩130覆蓋住,因此透明導電膜122不會被沉積至被覆蓋住的非晶半導體層110。 As shown in FIG. 11, a deposition process 132 is performed while forming a transparent conductive film 122 on the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 and on the top surface of the mask 130. It is to be noted that since part of the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 is covered by the mask 130, the transparent conductive film 122 is not deposited to the covered amorphous semiconductor layer 110.

之後移除該遮罩130,而形成如第12圖所示之結構。此時,開口O會暴露出部份非晶半導體層110。在此需注意的是,本實施例是利用遮蔽之 方式,使得開口O在沉積製程132中同步形成,因此不必另行施加額外開孔製程。 The mask 130 is then removed to form the structure as shown in FIG. At this time, the opening O exposes a portion of the amorphous semiconductor layer 110. It should be noted here that this embodiment utilizes the shielding In a manner, the openings O are formed synchronously in the deposition process 132, so that no additional opening process is necessary.

最後,類似如第1圖和第2圖所示,形成導電金屬層115以填滿開口O,其中導電金屬層115底面會切齊透明導電膜122底面。具體來說,形成導電金屬層115可包括下列步驟。首先,利用網板印刷或其他合適之製程,於第一表面104上形成導電漿料(圖未示),例如銀漿料,以覆蓋部份透明導電膜122。之後進行燒結,形成如圖1所示之固狀之電極層116。然後,網印另一導電漿料於第一表面104上,以覆蓋部份電極層116,繼以進行燒結,以形成金屬漿料層124。需注意的是,形成金屬漿料層124所使用之導電漿料較佳係為低溫導電漿料,其燒結溫度較佳可以低於230℃。 Finally, similarly as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a conductive metal layer 115 is formed to fill the opening O, wherein the bottom surface of the conductive metal layer 115 is aligned with the bottom surface of the transparent conductive film 122. Specifically, forming the conductive metal layer 115 may include the following steps. First, a conductive paste (not shown), such as a silver paste, is formed on the first surface 104 by screen printing or other suitable process to cover a portion of the transparent conductive film 122. Thereafter, sintering is performed to form a solid electrode layer 116 as shown in FIG. Then, another conductive paste is screen printed on the first surface 104 to cover a portion of the electrode layer 116, followed by sintering to form a metal paste layer 124. It should be noted that the conductive paste used to form the metal paste layer 124 is preferably a low temperature conductive paste, and the sintering temperature thereof may preferably be lower than 230 ° C.

相較於在雷射開孔製程中,部份非晶半導體層110或基板102容易被雷射去除或是喪失原有電性,本實施例之一特徵在於開口O會在沉積製程132中與透明導電膜122同時形成,因此可有效避免受光面積的減損,而提昇了太陽能電池之電流輸出量。 Compared with the laser opening process, part of the amorphous semiconductor layer 110 or the substrate 102 is easily removed by the laser or loses the original electrical property. One of the features of this embodiment is that the opening O is in the deposition process 132. The transparent conductive film 122 is simultaneously formed, so that the loss of the light receiving area can be effectively avoided, and the current output of the solar cell is improved.

在此需注意的是,上述太陽能電池製作方法之概念亦適用於製作如第8圖所示之同質接面太陽能電池。具體來說,本質非晶半導體層和非晶半導體層不會被設置在基板上。取而代之的是會在提供遮罩前先施行摻雜製程,以於鄰近表面之基板內形成摻雜區,且摻雜區之導電型相異於基板之導電型。因此,在形成導電金屬層後,摻雜區會直接接觸導電金屬層,且摻雜區和導電金屬層間具有平坦接面。 It should be noted here that the concept of the above solar cell fabrication method is also applicable to the fabrication of a homojunction solar cell as shown in FIG. Specifically, the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer and the amorphous semiconductor layer are not disposed on the substrate. Instead, a doping process is performed before the mask is provided to form a doped region in the substrate adjacent to the surface, and the conductivity type of the doped region is different from the conductivity type of the substrate. Therefore, after the conductive metal layer is formed, the doped region directly contacts the conductive metal layer, and the doped region and the conductive metal layer have a flat junction.

本發明亦提供一種太陽能電池模組,其包括上述改良後的太陽能電池。在以下的實施例中,係針對太陽能電池模組的結構加以描述。 The invention also provides a solar cell module comprising the improved solar cell described above. In the following embodiments, the structure of the solar cell module will be described.

請參照第13圖,其是本發明一實施例太陽能電池模組之局部剖面圖。太陽能電池模組140係包括前板142、背板144、多個太陽能電池100以及外框(圖未示)。前板142與背板144係相對設置,且太陽能電池100係設置於前板142和背板144之間。外框係設置於前板142以及背板144之周邊。 Please refer to FIG. 13, which is a partial cross-sectional view showing a solar cell module according to an embodiment of the present invention. The solar cell module 140 includes a front plate 142, a back plate 144, a plurality of solar cells 100, and a frame (not shown). The front plate 142 is disposed opposite to the back plate 144, and the solar cell 100 is disposed between the front plate 142 and the back plate 144. The outer frame is disposed around the front plate 142 and the back plate 144.

具體而言,各太陽能電池100係藉由導電帶126互相串聯及/或並聯。前板142和背板144間亦設置有包覆層146,使得前板142黏合至背板144。包覆層146亦可固定住太陽能電池100和導電帶126,避免太陽能電池100和導電帶126與外界直接接觸。上述包覆層146之材質可為高分子共聚物,例如聚乙烯醋酸乙烯酯(ethylene vinyl acetate,EVA)或是離子聚合物(ionomer),但不限於此。類似地,太陽能電池模組140內的太陽能電池100具有與上述第一實施例相同之結構。具體而言,各太陽能電池100至少包括基板102、本質非晶半導體層108、112、非晶半導體層110、114、透明導電膜122以及導電金屬層(圖未示),其亦可選擇性地另包括抗反射層(圖未示)。此外,為了提供不同之輸出電壓及電流,太陽能電池模組140內的各太陽能電池100可以適當地串聯、並聯或上述兩者之結合。 Specifically, each solar cell 100 is connected to each other in series and/or in parallel by a conductive strip 126. A cover layer 146 is also disposed between the front plate 142 and the back plate 144 such that the front plate 142 is bonded to the back plate 144. The cladding layer 146 can also hold the solar cell 100 and the conductive strip 126 to prevent the solar cell 100 and the conductive strip 126 from coming into direct contact with the outside. The material of the coating layer 146 may be a polymer copolymer such as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) or an ionomer, but is not limited thereto. Similarly, the solar cell 100 in the solar cell module 140 has the same structure as the first embodiment described above. Specifically, each solar cell 100 includes at least a substrate 102, an intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 108, 112, an amorphous semiconductor layer 110, 114, a transparent conductive film 122, and a conductive metal layer (not shown), which may also be selectively Also included is an anti-reflection layer (not shown). In addition, in order to provide different output voltages and currents, each solar cell 100 in the solar cell module 140 may be suitably connected in series, in parallel, or a combination of the two.

綜上所述,本發明係提供一種太陽能電池、太陽能電池模組及太陽能電池之製作方法。太陽能電池的導電金屬層可以被嵌入至透明導電膜內,且導電金屬層可以直接接觸暴露出於開口的非晶半導體層或基板,因此導電金屬層不易在後續的製程階段或是使用階段剝離,進而提昇了太陽能電池的可靠度。此外,電極層較佳會以開口為中心對稱設置,致使應力可以平均分佈在開口兩側,而減少破片的發生。再者,由於開口係在沉積製程中與透明導電層同時形成,因此可以捨棄雷射開孔製程,有效避免受光面積的減損,而提昇了太陽能電池之電流輸出量。 In summary, the present invention provides a solar cell, a solar cell module, and a method of fabricating the same. The conductive metal layer of the solar cell can be embedded in the transparent conductive film, and the conductive metal layer can directly contact the amorphous semiconductor layer or the substrate exposed to the opening, so the conductive metal layer is not easily peeled off in a subsequent process stage or use stage. This further improves the reliability of the solar cell. In addition, the electrode layers are preferably symmetrically disposed about the opening, so that stress can be evenly distributed on both sides of the opening to reduce the occurrence of fragments. Moreover, since the opening is formed simultaneously with the transparent conductive layer in the deposition process, the laser opening process can be discarded, the loss of the light receiving area is effectively avoided, and the current output of the solar cell is improved.

以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發明申請專利範圍所做之均等變化與修飾,皆應屬本發明之涵蓋範圍。 The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
