New description: [New technical field] This creation is about a solar cell and its back electrode structure. [Prior Art] As the world's petrochemical fuels are gradually being scrutinized, people are actively searching for and developing alternative energy sources such as solar power, wind power and hydropower... among which the use of solar energy is the most important technological development. The reason for #direction is that sunlight can be irradiated in various parts of the world, and the process of solar energy conversion does not pollute the environment. For example, in the process of converting solar energy into electricity, it is not necessary to consume other Energy causes a greenhouse effect. However, the conversion efficiency of solar energy into electrical energy is easily limited by the mechanical design of the entire solar cell system. The basic solar cell structure can be divided into ρ·Diode (PN Diode), antireflective layer (Antireflection), and front metal electrode (Fr〇nt contact metal), and back metal electrode (Back c〇ntact). Coffee (5)) and so on. Four parts. The back electrode is processed by a method of screen printing (Scireen Printing or steaming) to form a conductive electrode on the surface of the semi-finished product of the wafer to be sintered at a high temperature and then used as a back surface electric field (BSF). Load collection efficiency. However, it is pointed out in the literature that the back surface electric field still cannot effectively reduce the surface recombination rate (SRV), so in order to reduce the composite effect of the carrier current, an effective method can provide a layer between the substrate and the back electrode. Due to the setting of the passivation layer, the substrate and the back electrode cannot be directly connected to each other. Therefore, it is necessary to form an opening in the purification layer by physical or chemical means, and then the substrate and the back electrode are co-dissolved by sintering to achieve mutual Electrical connection. In the prior art, a whole layer of gelatin is placed on the passivation layer. At the same time of sintering, the molecular and the molecular molecules will reach the temperature of the composition (the postal temperature). At this time, the two substances will interact with each other. _ under the mutual flow, that is, the Shixi substrate (four) molecules will flow (10) glue, while the _ toweling molecules will flow to the Shixi substrate. The fluidity of the material itself is also a factor of phase balance. When the temperature is lower than the temperature of the co-melting, the two materials will return to the original composition, but because the flow velocity of the Shixi molecule in the gelatin 彳Mf ' makes the molecule flow in the cooling axis The I method quickly flows back to the original region, causing a plurality of voids to be generated in the substrate and the _ junction after curing (4), which not only reduces the electrical connection degree between the substrate and the back electrode, but also reduces the overall efficiency of the solar cell. Therefore, how to provide a solar cell and a back electrode structure thereof, while increasing the degree of electrical connection between the substrate and the back electrode, avoiding the formation of voids between the substrate and the body electrode, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Has become the focus of the solar manufacturing industry.

The openings 121 may be equally spaced, or may be set at 7 M422758 unequal spacing. It should be noted that the openings 121 disposed on the same line may be continuous or discontinuous, that is, the openings 121 may be segmented and arranged in a line in the passivation layer I2, or in a continuous line. The shape or the strip shape is disposed on the passivation layer 12, wherein the spacing of the segmentation segments may be designed to different lengths or aspects depending on design or requirements, and the different layers of the purification layer 12 may be disposed in the same row or Connected.

The height h ranges from more than 5 μm to less than 30 μm, because the conductive materials π disposed on the passivation layer 12 are not connected to the substrate, so that the conductive materials 13 can pass through the openings 121 and the substrate 11 The connection is made, so that after the plurality of conductive materials 13 are disposed on the passivation layer 12, the substrate 11 and the conductive materials 13 are sintered to sinter the gel-like or paste-like conductive material 13. The sintering action removes the volatile solvent in the conductive material 13 and bakes it at a temperature of, for example, 57 Torr to 84 Torr to metallize the conductive materials 13.

In order to facilitate the display and description, the actual structure may be inconsistent, and this is for reference only and not limitation. The solar cell 2 includes a substrate 21, at least one semiconductor layer 22, two passivation layers 23, 24, and a plurality of conductive layers. The material 25 ' 26 ° substrate 21 is a germanium substrate, and the germanium substrate is further divided into a single crystal germanium substrate, a polycrystalline germanium substrate, an amorphous germanium substrate or a microcrystalline germanium substrate. The substrate 21 is an N-type semiconductor substrate or a P-type semiconductor substrate. The substrate 21 in this embodiment is exemplified by a P-type semiconductor substrate. The substrate 21 has a first surface 211 and a second surface 212. The first surface 211 can be a light incident surface, and the second surface 212 is a backlight surface. The semiconductor layer 22 is disposed on the first surface 211 of the substrate 21. The semiconductor layer 22 also has a first surface 221 and a second surface 222. The first surface 221 is a light incident surface, and the semiconductor layer 22 is The surface 222 is connected to the first surface 211 of the substrate 21. In the embodiment, the semiconductor layer 22 is exemplified by an N-type semiconductor layer, and the semiconductor layer 22 can be an N-type or P-type semiconductor substrate according to the substrate 21. a P-type semiconductor layer or an N-type M422758 semiconductor layer. When the substrate 21 is an N-type semiconductor substrate, the P-type semiconductor material is diffused onto the N-type semiconductor substrate to form a P-type semiconductor layer on the N-type semiconductor substrate. When the substrate 21 is a P-type semiconductor substrate, the N-type semiconductor material is diffused onto the P-type semiconductor substrate to form an N-type semiconductor layer on the P-type semiconductor substrate. When the P-type and N-type semiconductor layers are in contact with each other At this time, electrons in the N-type semiconductor layer are poured into the P-type semiconductor layer to fill the holes therein. In the vicinity of the P-N junction, a carrier-depletion region is formed by recombination of electron-holes, and the P-type and N-type semiconductor layers φ also have negative and positive charges, respectively, thereby forming a built-in electric field.

Since the refractive index difference between the air and the crucible is very large, when the light passes through the interface between the air and the crucible, there is a significant light reflection. Therefore, the passivation layers 23 and 24 made of tantalum nitride (SiN) are applied to the substrate 21 and the semiconductor layer 22, In order to reduce the reflection of incident light, and reduce the recombination center' and thus increase the photoelectric conversion efficiency M422758 rate. Since the first surface 221 of the semiconductor layer 22 is formed into a pyramid-like structure due to the structuring process, the passivation layer 23 also forms a pyramid-like structure on the semiconductor layer 22' to reduce the probability of the incident light being folded back for the first time.
