Definitions
- the present invention relates to a high-efficiency back electrode type solar cell, a solar cell module, and a solar power generation system with good conversion efficiency.
- a solar cell is a p-type made of plate-like polycrystalline silicon or monocrystalline silicon having a size of 100 to 150 mm square and a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm and doped with p-type impurities such as boron.
- the main material is a semiconductor substrate.
- an n-type diffusion layer (emitter layer) and an antireflection film are formed on a light receiving surface that receives sunlight, and the electrode is formed so as to penetrate the antireflection film so as to be in contact with the emitter layer. .
- the electrode is indispensable for taking out the current obtained by photoelectric conversion, but sunlight is not incident on the part where the electrode of the light receiving surface is formed by shielding with the electrode, so the electrode area The larger the value, the lower the conversion efficiency and the current decreases.
- Such a loss of current due to the electrodes provided on the light receiving surface is called shadow loss.
- the back electrode type solar cell does not have an electrode on the light receiving surface, so there is no shadow loss, and almost 100% of incident sunlight is taken in except for the slight reflected light that cannot be suppressed by the antireflection film. Can do. Therefore, in principle, high conversion efficiency can be expected.
- the back electrode type solar cell 100 has a cross-sectional structure as shown in FIG.
- the back electrode type solar cell 100 includes a semiconductor substrate 101, an emitter layer 104, a BSF (Back-Surface-Field) layer 106, antireflection films / passivation films 107 and 108, and electrodes 109 and 110.
- BSF Back-Surface-Field
- the semiconductor substrate 101 is a main material of the back electrode type solar cell 100 and is made of single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, or the like. Either p-type or n-type may be used, but an n-type silicon substrate doped with an n-type impurity such as phosphorus is often used. Hereinafter, a case where an n-type silicon substrate is used will be described as an example.
- the semiconductor substrate 101 is preferably a plate having a size of 100 to 150 mm square and a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm. One main surface is a light receiving surface and the other main surface is a non-light receiving surface ( Used as back side).
- the uneven structure can be obtained by immersing the semiconductor substrate 101 in an acidic or alkaline solution for a certain period of time. Generally, this uneven structure is called a texture.
- an emitter layer 104 which is a p-type diffusion layer doped with a p-type impurity such as boron and a BSF layer 106 which is an n-type diffusion layer doped with an n-type impurity such as phosphorus are formed. Either the emitter layer 104 or the BSF layer 106 may be formed first. When the emitter layer 104 is formed first, for example, it is formed as follows.
- a protective film 102 such as a silicon oxide film is formed on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate 101.
- a silicon oxide film having a thickness of about 30 to 300 nm is formed by a thermal oxidation method in which the semiconductor substrate 101 is placed in a high temperature of 800 to 1100 ° C. in an oxygen atmosphere.
- a resist paste is applied by screen printing to the portion of the protective film 102 covering the region other than the region where the emitter layer 104 is formed on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 101, and cured.
- the protective film 102 covering the region where the emitter layer 104 is formed is removed by immersion in a hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution, and further the resist paste 103 is removed by immersion in acetone or the like.
- a p-type impurity element is diffused in the region from which the protective film 102 has been removed, for example, by a thermal diffusion method, thereby forming an emitter layer 104 and a glass layer 105 which are p-type diffusion layers.
- the semiconductor substrate 101 by placing the semiconductor substrate 101 in a high-temperature gas containing BBr 3 at 800 to 1100 ° C., boron is diffused in a portion where the protective film 102 is not formed, and the sheet resistance is 20 to 300 ⁇ .
- An emitter layer 104 and a glass layer 105 of about / ⁇ are formed.
- the remaining protective film 102 and the glass layer 105 are removed by immersing them in a chemical such as a diluted hydrofluoric acid solution, and washed with pure water.
- the emitter layer 104 in which the p-type impurity is diffused is formed at a desired location on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 101.
- a BSF layer 106 is formed on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 101 where the emitter layer 104 is not formed by a procedure substantially similar to that of the emitter layer 104.
- antireflection films and passivation films 107 and 108 made of SiN are formed on the light-receiving surface on which the texture is formed and on the back surface on which the emitter layer 104 and the BSF layer 106 are formed.
- the electrode 109 is formed to be connected to the emitter layer 104
- the electrode 110 is formed to be connected to the BSF layer 106, respectively.
- These electrodes may be formed by sputtering or the like with a contact being opened with an etching paste or the like, or may be formed using a screen printing method. When the screen printing method is used, conductive silver paste containing glass frit or the like is printed and dried at two locations of the antireflection film / passivation film 108 so as to be connected to the emitter layer 104 and the BSF layer 106 after firing. .
- an electrode 109 connected to the emitter layer 104 and an electrode 110 connected to the BSF layer 106 are formed through the antireflection film and passivation films 107 and 108, respectively. Is done.
- the electrodes 109 and 110 are constituted by bus bar electrodes for taking out the photogenerated current generated in the back electrode type solar cell 100 to the outside, and finger electrodes for current collection connected to these bus bar electrodes (illustrated). (Omitted).
- the impurity diffusion profile of the emitter layer greatly affects the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. For example, by reducing the diffusion amount of impurities into the emitter layer and reducing the reverse saturation current density of the emitter layer, the open-circuit voltage of the solar cell can be increased and the conversion efficiency can be improved. However, if the surface concentration of impurities is lowered by reducing the amount of impurities diffused into the emitter layer, generally, the contact resistance with the electrode connected to the emitter layer is increased, resulting in poor conversion efficiency.

- an emitter layer having a low surface concentration and a low sheet resistance may be formed.

As a result, electrodes with high contact resistance with the emitter layer had almost no penetration and connection, and in rare cases, penetration occurred. Although it was shallow, the electrode with low contact resistance with the emitter layer was found to be deeply penetrated by many penetrations and connections. In other words, it is considered that the deeper the electrode penetrates, the lower the contact resistance.
- the contact resistance depends not only on the surface dopant concentration but also on the change in the dopant concentration in the depth direction. Specifically, it is considered that the contact resistance can be further reduced by the electrode penetrating to a depth that almost covers the range in which the impurity is diffused at a high concentration.
- the cross-sectional area of the electrode is small at this time, the absolute amount of a substance that contributes to conduction with the emitter layer such as glass frit and aluminum constituting the electrode is insufficient, and the contact resistance increases. Therefore, in order to avoid an increase in contact resistance and to obtain a stable yield, it can be said that it is desirable to penetrate the electrode into the emitter layer to some extent, and to increase the cross-sectional area within the cost.

Abstract
Description
図2に本発明の高効率裏面電極型太陽電池セル200の製造手順を示す。製造に先立ち、半導体基板101を酸性溶液などに浸漬してダメージエッチを行い、スライスなどによる表面のダメージを除去して、洗浄、乾燥する。
上記の製造方法により、エミッタ層の逆方向飽和電流密度測定用のサンプルを熱酸化条件を変えながら複数作製した。なお、逆方向飽和電流密度の測定には電極は不要であるため、電極は形成していない。作製に用いたn型半導体基板の比抵抗は1Ω・cm、リンのドーピング濃度は約5×1015atoms/cm3であり、反射防止膜兼パッシベーション膜はSiH4、NH3、及びN2を用いたプラズマCVD法により形成した厚さ100nmの窒化シリコン膜である。
リンがドープされ、厚さ0.2mmにスライスして作製された、比抵抗が約1Ω・cmでドーピング濃度が約5×1015atms/cm3のn型の単結晶シリコンからなるn型シリコン基板を用意し、外径加工を行って一辺15cmの正方形の板状とした。そして、この基板をフッ硝酸溶液中に15秒間浸漬させてダメージエッチした後、純水で洗浄して乾燥させた。

ここまでの処理を施した基板のエミッタ層上に、スクリーン印刷法により導電性銀ペーストを印刷し、150℃で乾燥させた。導電性銀ペーストは、Heraeus社製SOL9383Mを用いた。また、基板のBSF層上に、メッシュ325、乳剤厚20μmで、幅50μmの直線状の開口部を備える版を用いたスクリーン印刷法により導電性銀ペーストを印刷し、150℃で乾燥させた。そして、印刷された導電性銀ペーストを最高温度800℃で5秒間焼成して電極を形成し、それぞれの比較例及び実施例に係る裏面電極型太陽電池セルを作製した。
上記の比較例1若しくは2、又は実施例1、2、3若しくは4の工程をそれぞれ経て100枚ずつ作製した裏面電極型太陽電池セルの平均変換効率、平均短絡電流密度、平均開放電圧、及び平均曲線因子を表1に示す。
