太阳能电池片是光伏组件的核心部件,其可以将太阳能转化为电能。如图1至图11所示,本申请实施例公开了一种太阳能电池片,该太阳能电池片可以用于光伏组件中,以避免光伏组件被遮挡时,太阳能电池片出现热斑效应,影响光伏组件的光电转化效率。
如图1至图11所示,本申请实施例中公开的太阳能电池片包括基底100,基底100作为太阳能电池片的核心部件,其可以将太阳能转化为电能。示例性地,基底100可以为P型基底、N型基底或者本征导电类型的硅片。晶体类型可以是单晶,也可以是多晶等。当然,基底100也可以为其他类型的基底100。在此,对于基底100的具体类型不做过多的限制,在实际的应用中,技术人员可以根据需要选择合适的材质,作为基底100。
本申请实施例中的基底100具有相对设置的第一表面和第二表面,其中,第一表面为电池片的背面,第二表面为电池片的正面。也就是说,本申请实施例公开的太阳能电池片为背接触式太阳能电池片。
如图1至图11所示,基底100的第一表面包括间隔设置的第一区域和第二区域以及位于第一区域和第二区域之间的第三区域。第一掺杂层101设置于第一区域的表面上或者至少部分嵌设于第一区域的表面内,第二掺杂层102设置于第二区域的表面上或者至少部分嵌设于第二区域的表面内,第二掺杂层102与第一掺杂层101的极性相反,以通过第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102对基底100产生的电流进行收集。
需要说明的是,第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102均可以为多晶硅、非晶硅、微晶硅、单晶硅中的一种或者多种。在第一掺杂层101为P型掺杂层的情况下,第二掺杂层102为N型掺杂层。在第一掺杂层101为N型掺杂层的情况下,第二掺杂层102为P型掺杂层。其中,P型一般掺杂有IIIA族元素,N型一般掺杂有VA族元素。
如图1至图11所示,沿远离基底100的方向,介质层1031和导电路径层1032依次叠置于第三区域。通过介质层1031阻隔第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102,介质层1031还可以阻隔基底100和导电路径层1032,以避免太阳能电池片出现短路现象,保证太阳能电池片正常工作,提升太阳能电池片的光电转化效率。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的介质层1031包括半导体层和/或绝缘层。当介质层1031包括半导体层和绝缘层时,沿远离基底100的方向,绝缘层和半导体层依次叠置于第三区域的表面上。导电路径层1032叠置于半导体层远离绝缘层的一侧。半导体层包括本征半导体层和呈电中性的共掺半导体层,其中,本征半导体层包括本征非晶硅、本征多晶硅、本征单晶硅等中的至少一种。呈电中性的共掺半导体层是指元素掺杂浓度不超过1E18cm-3,表现出绝对的电中性、呈微弱的正电或者呈微弱的负电的共掺半导体层,示例性地,呈电中性的共掺半导体层为同时掺杂磷元素和硼元素的多晶硅层。
如图1至图11所示,本申请实施例中,在介质层1031远离基底100的一侧叠置导电路径层1032,导电路径层1032连接部分第一掺杂层101和部分第二掺杂层102,通过导电路径层1032导通第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102。导电路径层1032的设置,可以实现第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102的软击穿,避免太阳能电池片被遮挡时出现热斑效应。并且,上述设置,在兼顾热斑效应的同时,还可以保证太阳能电池片正常工作下的光电转化效率。
可选地,沿电池片的厚度方向,介质层1031的厚度大于导电路径层1032的厚度。
本申请实施例中,沿太阳能电池片的厚度方向,将介质层1031的厚度设置为大于导电路径层1032的厚度。通过上述设置,使得介质层1031的厚度较厚,介质层1031能够保证第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102之间的电隔离,以及基底100和导电路径层1032之间的电隔离,使得太阳能电池片正常工作状态下,光电转化效率更高。
本申请实施例中的导电路径层1032相较于介质层1031更薄,通过导电路径层1032实现第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102之间的软击穿。当太阳能电池片被遮挡时,导电路径层1032可以起到防热斑的作用,避免太阳能电池片出现热斑效应。
并且,上述设置,可以在太阳能电池片的整个面积上的第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102之间设置介质层1031,实现整个面积上的防热斑,从而省去制备其他空间间隔槽的步骤和工艺,使太阳能电池片的制备工艺更为简单,降低太阳能电池片的生产成本。
可选地,沿电池片的厚度方向,导电路径层1032的厚度大于介质层1031的厚度。
本申请实施例中,沿电池片的厚度方向,将导电路径层1032的厚度设置为大于介质层1031的厚度,以增加导电通路,在整个电池片面积上仅需要较少的防热斑结构,就可以实现整个电池片的防热斑效果。
具体地,可以在基底100第一表面的至少一个第三区域的整个面积上依次叠置介质层1031和导电路径层1032,也可以在基底100第一表面的至少一个第三区域的至少部分面积上依次叠置介质层1031和导电路径层1032。
需要说明的是,位于基底100第一表面的多个第三区域上的不同的导电路径层1032的位置可以相互对应,也可以相互交错。对此,本申请不做具体的限定。在实际的应用中,技术人员可以根据需要进行设置。
可选地,介质层1031和导电路径层1032的基础材料相同。
本申请实施例中的介质层1031和导电路径层1032的基础材料相同。示例性地,介质层1031和导电路径层1032均包括多晶硅,经过掺杂的多晶硅形成导电路径层1032,未经掺杂的多晶硅形成介质层1031。其中,未经掺杂的多晶硅也可以称之为本征多晶硅。当然,上述具体实施例仅为本申请的个别举例,不作为本申请的限制,在实际的应用中,技术人员可以根据需要设置介质层1031和导电路径层1032的基础材料。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的介质层1031和导电路径层1032的基础材料与第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102的基础材料也相同。通过上述设置,可以简化电池片的制备流程,也即电池片图形化的流程,通过一次沉积半导体膜层,分别进行不同程度的掺杂,即可形成上述结构。
可选地,介质层1031和导电路径层1032的基础材料不同。

当然,导电路径层1032内也可以掺杂极性相反的两种元素,以简化电池片的制备流程,便于电池片的制备,降低电池片的制备成本。示例性地,导电路径层1032内既掺杂硼元素,也掺杂磷元素。
需要说明的是,在导电路径层1032内掺杂一种元素的情况下,沿导电路径层1032至基底100的方向,导电路径层1032内掺杂元素的浓度递减。
可选地,如图2所示,本申请实施例中的导电路径层1032包括单一掺杂路径层1032a和共掺杂路径层1032b,其中,单一掺杂路径层1032a叠置于介质层1031远离基底100的一侧,共掺杂路径层1032b叠置于单一掺杂路径层1032a远离介质层1031的一侧;单一掺杂路径层1032a内掺杂一种元素,共掺杂路径层1032b内掺杂极性相反的两种元素。
如图2所示,本申请实施例中将导电路径层1032设置成两层,其中一层为单一掺杂路径层1032a,单一掺杂路径层1032a叠置于介质层1031远离基底100的一侧,单一掺杂路径层1032a内掺杂一种元素。其中另一层为共掺杂路径层1032b,共掺杂路径层1032b叠置于单一掺杂路径层1032a远离介质层1031的一侧,共掺杂路径层1032b内掺杂极性相反的两种元素。上述两种元素中的一种与单一掺杂路径层1032a内的掺杂元素相同。
通过上述设置,能够降低电池片的工艺难度,简化电池片的制备流程,降低电池片的生产成本。进一步地,上述设置,也可以避免电池片被遮挡时出现热斑效应。并且,在兼顾防热斑效应的同时,还可以保证电池片正常工作下的光电转化效率。

需要说明的是,本申请实施例中第二电极107的设置,与第一电极106的设置类似,在此,不再赘述。
可选地,第一单掺层1011内元素掺杂浓度的均匀性优于第一共掺层1012内元素掺杂浓度的均匀性。
在本申请实施例中,以第一单掺层1011为第一导电类型,第一共掺层1012为第二导电类型为例,进行相关的说明。可以理解,第一单掺层1011内仅掺杂一类元素,而第一共掺层1012内既掺杂一类元素,还掺杂二类元素。其中,一类元素可以为IIIA组元素,例如硼元素、铝元素、镓元素等。二类元素可以为VA组元素,例如磷元素、锑元素、砷元素等。第一单掺层1011的厚度大于或者等于20nm且小于或者等于490nm,第一共掺层1012的厚度大于或者等于10nm且小于或者等于480nm。
第一共掺层1012中,沿远离基底100的方向,一类元素的掺杂浓度分布基本在同一个数量级,浓度的均匀度小于50%。第一单掺层1011中,沿远离基底100的方向,一类元素的掺杂浓度几乎呈均匀分布,浓度均匀度小于20%。第一共掺层1012和第一单掺层1011中一类元素的掺杂浓度基本在同一个数量级。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的浓度的均匀度=(浓度最大值-浓度最小值)/(浓度最大值+浓度最小值)。
示例性地,本申请实施例中,第一单掺层1011中,一类元素的掺杂浓度范围为1E16cm-3至1E21cm-3。第一共掺层1012中,一类元素的掺杂浓度范围为1E16cm-3至1E21cm-3,二类元素的掺杂浓度范围为1E17cm-3至1E22cm-3
在同一区域中,测试第一单掺层1011中不同深度硼元素的掺杂浓度,第一单掺层1011中,靠近基底100的位置,硼元素的掺杂浓度为6E19cm-3,远离基底100的位置,硼元素的掺杂浓度为7E19cm-3,浓度均为度=(7-6)/(7+6)=7.7%,小于20%。
在同一区域中,测试第一共掺层1012中不同深度硼元素的掺杂浓度,第一共掺层1012中,靠近基底100的位置,硼元素的掺杂浓度为7E19cm-3,远离基底100的位置,硼元素的掺杂浓度为3E19cm-3,浓度均为度=(7-3)/(7+3)=40%,小于50%。
在本申请实施例中,将第一单掺层1011内元素掺杂浓度的均匀性设置为优于第一共掺层1012内元素掺杂浓度的均匀性。通过上述设置,可以保证第一单掺层1011内载流子的分离效率。进一步地,通过上述设置,还可以保证第一单掺层1011不会影响基底100的钝化效果。
可选地,如图8至图11所示,本申请实施例中的第二掺杂层102包括第二单掺层1021和第二共掺层1022,第二共掺层1022内掺杂极性相反的两种元素,第二单掺层1021叠置于第二区域的表面上或者至少部分嵌设于第二区域的表面内,第二共掺层1022叠置于第二单掺层1021远离基底100的一侧,第二共掺层1022与第二单掺层1021的导电类型相同。
如图8至图11所示,本申请实施例中的第二掺杂层102包括两层,其中一层为第二单掺层1021,第二单掺层1021内掺杂一种元素。其中另一层为第二共掺层1022,第二共掺层1022内掺杂极性相反的两种元素。其中,第二单掺层1021和第二共掺层1022的导电类型相同。
如图8至图11所示,第二单掺层1021叠置于第二区域的表面上或者至少部分嵌设于第二区域的表面内,第二共掺层1022叠置于第二单掺层1021远离基底100的一侧。通过上述设置,可以降低电池片的工艺难度,简化电池片的工艺流程,降低电池片的制造成本。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,无论第二单掺层1021和第二共掺层1022的导电类型相同还是导电类型不同。第二电极107可以单独和第二单掺层1021接触,也可以单独和第二共掺层1022接触,当然,第二电极107也可以和第二单掺层1021和第二共掺层1022同时接触,当第二电极107与第二单掺层1021和第二共掺层1022同时接触时,形成的接触更好,太阳能电池片的可靠性更高。
可选地,沿电池片的厚度方向,第二共掺层1022的厚度大于第一共掺层1012的厚度,且第一共掺层1012的厚度大于或者等于共掺杂路径层1032b的厚度。
沿电池片的厚度方向,共掺杂路径层1032b的厚度不能太厚,以保证电池片防热斑的效果,以及电池片的光电转化效率。第二共掺层1022不会影响第二掺杂层102的导电类型,因此,第二共掺层1022的厚度可以较厚,而第一共掺层1012的厚度不能太厚,第一共掺层1012的厚度过厚,会影响第一区域载流子的收集效率。当然,第一共掺层1012的厚度也不能太薄,第一共掺层1012的厚度过薄,会增加电池片的工艺步骤,需要单独处理以形成共掺杂路径层1032b,增加电池片的制造成本。
基于上述,本申请实施例中,沿电池片的厚度方向,将第二共掺层1022的厚度设置为大于第一共掺层1012的厚度,并将第一共掺层1012的厚度设置为大于或者等于共掺杂路径层1032b的厚度。
可选地,如图3所示,本申请实施例中第一掺杂层101靠近导电路径层1032的一侧具有第一浓度渐变共掺区(图中未示出);和/或,第二掺杂层102靠近导电路径层1032的一侧具有第二浓度渐变共掺区108。
如图3所示,第一掺杂层101内靠近第一电极106的区域元素掺杂浓度较高,以利于载流子的收集,以及电流的传输和收集。尤其是,第一掺杂层101内位于第一电极106下方的元素掺杂浓度更高,以有效降低金属半导体接触电阻,而第一掺杂层101靠近导电路径层1032的一侧,元素掺杂浓度较低,有利于俄歇复合,从而提升电池片的光电转化效率。
基于上述,本申请实施例中,在第一掺杂层101靠近导电路径层1032的一侧设置第一浓度渐变共掺区,和/或,在第二掺杂层102靠近导电路径层1032的一侧设置第二浓度渐变共掺区108,以提升电池片电流收集效率,提升电池片的光电转化效率。
可选地,在第一掺杂层101为P型掺杂层,第二掺杂层102为N型掺杂层的情况下,第一浓度渐变共掺区的宽度大于第二浓度渐变共掺区108的宽度。
在第一掺杂层101为P型掺杂层,也即第一掺杂层101内掺杂硼元素,第二掺杂层102为N型掺杂层,也即第二掺杂层102内掺杂磷元素的情况下,第一浓度渐变共掺区的宽度大于第二浓度渐变共掺区108的宽度。
通过上述设置,可以在不增加工艺难度的情况下,提高载流子传输效率,以及电流的传输和收集效率,并且,降低金属半导体接触。
当然,以上将第一掺杂层101设置为P型掺杂层,将第二掺杂层102设置为N型掺杂层的方式,仅为本申请的个别举例,不作为本申请的限制。在实际的应用中,技术人员可以根据需要设置第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102的具体掺杂类型。
可选地,导电路径层1032靠近第一掺杂层101的一侧具有第一深度渐变共掺区1032c,导电路径层1032靠近第二掺杂层102的一侧具有第二深度渐变共掺区(图中未示出)。
本申请实施例中,在导电路径层1032靠近第一掺杂层101的一侧设置第一深度渐变共掺区1032c,在导电路径层1032靠近第二掺杂层102的一侧设置第二深度渐变共掺区,以提高软击穿通路的作用深度,减少第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102发热电流区域的过分集中。进一步地,还可以降低单个或单点软击穿发热温度,减少安全风险。
对本申请实施例中公开的太阳能电池片进行发热测试。发热测试标准为:施加反向偏压15V,持续100ms时间,测试电池片的前后温差,使用加电流后温度变化高点的温度为标准△T/℃。发热测试结果如下表1所示。
需要说明的是,对比例中,太阳能电池仅通过空间间隔阻隔第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102,不设置导电路径层1032和介质层1031。实施例1,如图1至图3所示,太阳能电池包括的第一掺杂层101和第二掺杂层102通过介质层1031以及导电路径层1032连接。实施例2,如图4至图7所示,太阳能电池包括的第一掺杂层101、第二掺杂层102通过介质层1031以及导电路径层1032连接。其中,第一掺杂层101包括第一单掺层1011和第一共掺层1012。实施例3,如图8至图11所示,太阳能电池包括的第一掺杂层101、第二掺杂层102通过介质层1031以及导电路径层1032连接。其中,第一掺杂层101包括第一单掺层1011和第一共掺层1012,第二掺杂层102包括第二单掺层1021和第二共掺层1022。
表1太阳能电池片发热测试结果
由表1中测试结果可知,相较于对比例公开的太阳能电池片,本申请实施例1、实施例2和实施例3中公开的太阳能电池片热斑测试温度更低,超过3℃的电池片比例更低,防热斑效应更优。实施例2和实施例3中公开的具有共掺层的太阳能电池片的光电转换效率略有提升。

202,在第一区域的表面上或者第一区域的表面内形成第一掺杂层,在第二区域的表面上或者第二区域的表面内形成第二掺杂层,第一掺杂层与第二掺杂层的极性相反。

需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,可以采用激光加热推进的方式,在第一掺杂源层和第二掺杂源层内掺杂元素,以形成第一掺杂层和第二掺杂层。当然,以上采用激光加热推进的方式仅为本申请实施例的个别举例,不作为本申请的限制。在实际的应用中,技术人员可以根据需要选择合适的掺杂方式。
本申请实施例中,对于第一掺杂源层和第二掺杂源层的具体形成顺序以及第一掺杂源层和第二掺杂源层的加热推进顺序均不做具体的限制。示例性地,本申请实施例中,可以先形成第一掺杂源层,加热推进第一掺杂源层,再形成第二掺杂源层,然后,加热推进第二掺杂源层。也可以先形成第二掺杂源层,再形成第一掺杂源层,再依次加热推进第一掺杂源层和第二掺杂源层。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,在基底的第一表面上形成半导体层之前,可以在基底的第一表面先形成界面钝化层104,以保护基底。本申请实施例中的界面钝化层104可以是单层结构,也可以是多层结构。界面钝化层104包括氮化硅层、氧化硅层、氮氧化硅层、氧化铝层、碳化硅层、非晶硅层中的一种或多种。
具体地,在第一区域的表面上或者第一区域的表面内形成第一掺杂层包括:
在基底的第一表面上形成半导体层,在半导体层对应第一区域的位置形成第一掺杂源层;加热推进第一掺杂源层,以使半导体层对应第一区域的部分形成第一单掺层;在第一单掺层上形成第四掺杂源层;加热推进第四掺杂源层,以使第一单掺层在远离基底的一侧形成第一共掺层,第一单掺层和第一共掺层构成所述第一掺杂层。本申请中第四掺杂源层和第二掺杂源层可以是同一层。
通过上述方式制备第一掺杂层,第一掺杂层包括第一单掺层和第一共掺层,可以降低电池片的工艺难度,简化电池片的工艺流程,降低电池片的制造成本。
当然,也可以采用上述方式,在第二区域的表面上或者第二区域的表面内形成第二掺杂层。在此,不再赘述。
在加热推进第四掺杂源层,以使第一单掺层在远离基底的部分形成第一共掺层之后,所述方法还包括:
在第一共掺层上设置贯穿槽,将第一电极嵌设于贯穿槽内,并连接于第一单掺层或者基底的第一区域,第一电极与贯穿槽的内壁之间具有间隔。
本申请实施例中,在第一共掺层内设置贯穿槽,将第一电极嵌设于贯穿槽内,并将第一电极的一端连接于第一单掺层或者基底的第一区域,以通过第一电极对基底第一区域产生的载流子进行收集。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,第一电极的侧壁与贯穿槽的内壁之间具有间隔,以降低电池片漏电的风险,提升电池片的光电转化效率。
203,沿远离基底的方向,在第三区域依次叠置介质层和导电路径层,以通过介质层阻隔第一掺杂层和第二掺杂层,通过导电路径层连接部分第一掺杂层和部分第二掺杂层。
采用本申请实施例公开的太阳能电池片的制备方法制备太阳能电池片,沿远离基底的方向,介质层和导电路径层依次叠置于第三区域,以通过介质层阻隔第一掺杂层和第二掺杂层,介质层还可以阻隔基底和导电路径层,避免太阳能电池片短路,保证太阳能电池片正常工作,提升太阳能电池片的光电转化效率。
进一步地,通过导电路径层连接部分第一掺杂层和部分第二掺杂层,导电路径层可以实现第一掺杂层和第二掺杂层之间的软击穿,避免太阳能电池片被遮挡时出现热斑效应,并且,兼顾防热斑效应的同时,还可以保证电池片正常工作下的光电转化效率。
具体地,沿远离基底的方向,在第三区域依次叠置介质层和导电路径层包括:
在基底的第一表面上形成半导体层,在半导体层对应第三区域的位置形成第三掺杂源层;加热推进第三掺杂源层,以使半导体层对应第三区域的部分沿远离基底的方向,依次形成叠置的介质层和导电路径层。
本申请实施例公开的电池片的制备方法,形成第一掺杂层、第二掺杂层、介质层和导电路径层之后,所述方法还包括:
去除电池片表面残余的各类掺杂源,对电池片进行清洗处理,以清洁电池片的表面。还需要对电池片表面进行刻蚀等修饰步骤。通过刻蚀修饰步骤,可以将各个区域表面掺杂元素进行修饰,去除掺杂浓度过高的表面或者掺杂浓度过低的表面。掺杂浓度过高的表面,会带来俄歇复合区,掺杂浓度过低的表面,不利于后续表面金属和电极的接触。通过上述处理,能够使电池片的性能更优。
沿远离基底的方向,在第三区域依次叠置介质层和导电路径层之后,所述方法还包括:
