Technical field
The invention relates to that a kind of solar cell forms and manufacture method, espespecially utilize passivating back local diffusion to fill up a silicon wafer layer cavity, make the rear surface of solar cell passivation local diffusion structure and the manufacture method thereof that there is better assembly useful life and promote its energy conversion efficiency.
Background technology
Solar cell is called again solar chip or photocell, is a kind of photoelectrical semiconductor component that utilizes solar power generation.Its with irradiation on different conductor or semiconductor, the free electron generation effect in photon and conductor or semiconductor, and then moment is with regard to exportable voltage and electric current, therefore it is called photovoltaic (be called for short photovoltaic Photovoltaic/PV) physically.And because solar cell power generation is a kind of reproducible environmental protection generation mode, in its power generation process, can not produce carbon dioxide isothermal chamber gas, can, to environment, not quite ripe at present green can application.
The manufacture method of known solar cells as shown in Figure 1, its step comprises: (1) is provided with one second antireflective coating 92 and bottom surface is provided with the passivating film 90 that forms a back of the body surface field (BSF/Back Surface Field) in the micro-structural 81 of silicon wafer layer 80 (wafer) end face, and this passivating film 90 is to include alumina layer 93 (Al
2o
3) and the first antireflective coating 91, wherein this first antireflective coating 91, the second antireflective coating 92 are to can be silicon nitride layer (SiN
x); Continue (2) in the passivating film 90 (back of the body surface field) of this silicon wafer layer 80, with laser 82, carry out etching, and form a plurality of perforates 83, and this perforate 83 deeply to this silicon wafer layer 80; Continue (3) carry out sintering procedure, in passivating film 90 (the first antireflective coating 91) below of this silicon wafer layer 80, form an aluminium lamination 94 (Al), and heat and carry out the combination of aluminium silicon, by this aluminium lamination 94, aluminium is entered in this perforate 83 (silicon wafer layer 80), in order to form the first electrode 95.Continue (4) when carrying out aluminium while diffusing in this perforate 83, the top of this first electrode 95 (front end) can form an alusil alloy layer 951 and cavity 84, wherein, this alusil alloy layer 951 is for carrying out the hot melt bond of aluminium when diffusion aluminium and this silicon wafer layer 80 contact jaws, and this cavity 84 be silicon wafer layer 80 the space of being separated out by hot melt partly; Continue and be provided with the second electrode 96 in the second antireflective coating 92 of this silicon wafer layer 80 (wafer) end face.
Though the manufacture method of aforementioned this known solar cells can complete the manufacture of solar cell, but the formed formation of this manufacture method still has shortcoming to exist, for example: when carrying out the heating of aforementioned aluminium silicon combination and cooling stage, because of the diffusion rate of silicon and the diffusion rate of aluminium unequal, and due to the silicon in alloy phase, aluminum concentration and aluminium lamination difference are many, and aluminium is that hot melt is liquid when high temperature, and silicon is solid-state except being all alusil alloy, therefore silicon can be subject to the aluminium of hot melt liquid state and corrode this region in perforate 83 (silicon wafer layer 80), be that solid state si can incorporate in this hot melt aluminium and form this alusil alloy layer 951, and silicone content is lower in cooling stage aluminium lamination, make alloy-layer can be easier to move (silicon is solid-state) toward aluminium lamination, in perforate, the original position of silicon will form cavity, and now solid state si cannot be inserted this cavity, and the aluminium silicon eutectic of hot melt liquid state has little time to insert this cavity, this is the reason that aforementioned this cavity 84 forms.And after the cavity 84 of this known solar cells forms, will affect the operating state of its power conversion, make its energy conversion efficiency not good, and another side also will affect the useful life of assembly, aobvious nonideal design.
Moreover due to the manufacture method of this known solar cells, it needs first to carry out etching with laser when back of the body surface field forms the first electrode, makes to form a plurality of perforates 83 and then carries out the combination of aluminium silicon, to complete the making of this first electrode.This laser-induced thermal etching is with laser engraving machine, to carry out the technical matters of LaserIsolation and topical surface treatment, and because of this laser-processing system cost quite high (speed of response is also difficult for meeting the demand of solar cell), and its plant maintenance grade is quite high (dust free room equipment) also, on the whole by greatly affecting the cost economic benefit of solar cell manufacture, therefore also there is in the lump the necessity that is improved, breaks through.Therefore how solving disadvantages associated problem in known solar cells manufacture, is really the emphasis direction that dealer researches and develops, breaks through.
Edge this, the inventor is in view of not attaining the desirable fact on known solar cells manufacture, structural shortcoming problem and method thereof, Construction designing, this case inventor sets about its solution of research and development design, hope can be developed a kind of solar cell formation and manufacture method thereof that has more quality stability, manufactures business efficiency, to promote the development of this industry, the then design when many and have generation of the present invention.
